You can add images to your pages to help visualise your idea. Tapping on a section within the editor will give you the option to include photography or illustrations.

You can use photography to display subtle backgrounds behind your sections, or display images beside your content. We believe in giving credit to artists, so a small caption showing the author’s name will be included alongside the image. You can choose how this is positioned to suit your design.

You can also include illustrations and icons. These are useful for demonstrating the benefits and features of your product without having screenshots or mockups. You can choose to show different illustrations to mobile or desktop users to suit the structure of your page.
