About images
Images are one of the key elements of any project's design. In this guide, you'll be able to explore the basics of image uploading, sizing, positioning, and much more ๐
If you're more of a visual learner, you can see some of the basics in this video:

โ
2) Click 'Uploads' and the blue 'Upload image' icon:

3) Your uploaded image will then be ready to be dragged and dropped to your project:
Maximum file sizes for images
Most images, regardless of file size, can be uploaded within Uizard as long as they are in JPG, PNG, or HEIC file types.
However, if you experience an error when uploading, try scaling your image upload to less than 4096px x 4096px. Additionally, it would also help if you make sure itโs less than 16MB.
Enlarging images
You can make images bigger by following these steps:
1) Select the image you'd like to make bigger by clicking it.
2) Drag the edges of the image outward to make it larger.
3) Additionally, you can resize it by clicking on the design menu on the right-hand side and finding the size section after selecting the image as shown below:
