Photo Size Controls

The size setting determines both the photo dimensions and how text flows around it:

Small

Compact photo size that takes up less space, perfect for creating column layouts with text.


Creating Effective Layouts

How Text Wrapping Works

When you select Small or Medium sizes with Left or Right alignment:

  • Text flows naturally around the photo boundaries
  • Creates column effect with photo occupying one area, text flows in remaining space
  • Responsive layout adjusts based on screen size while maintaining proportions

Layout Examples

Left + Small

Left + Small

Creates left photo column with equal right text column for balanced two-column layout.


Best Practices for Photo Layout

Portrait photos often work well as Small or Medium with side alignment. Landscape photos might be better centred or as Large size. Multiple photos can use varied alignments for visual interest.

Short paragraphs work well with any size photo. Longer text sections benefit from smaller photo sizes to allow more text flow. Photo-heavy stories might use larger sizes with less text wrapping.

Mix left and right alignments throughout your story. Use centre alignment for important or standalone photos. Consider rhythm and how photos and text create visual flow.

Don't overcrowd content by leaving breathing room between photos and text. Consider reading flow to ensure text remains easy to follow. Test different sizes to find the best balance for each photo.
