Images, video & audio

Add media as its own element, or set an image or video as the background of a frame.

Insert media

Open the Insert panel (+) and go to Elements. Image, Video, and Audio sit under Basic — drag one onto the canvas to place it.

The Insert panel with Image, Video, and Audio elements

Select the element to set its options in the right panel:

  • Image — set the source, how it fits its box (cover, contain, fill), and alt text for screen readers.
  • Video — set the source and toggle autoplay, controls, loop, and more.
  • Audio — set the source.

Background media

You can also put an image or video straight onto a frame as its background. Select the frame, open Fill, and switch to Image or Video.

The Fill tool set to Image, with sizing options

An image background controls how the image fills the frame:

  • Size — cover, contain, or an exact size.
  • Position — where the image sits in the frame.
  • Repeat — tile the image or show it once.
  • Attachment — scroll with the page or stay fixed.

The Fill tool set to Video, with playback options

A video background gives you the playback controls you'd expect:

  • Autoplay — start on load.
  • Muted — required for autoplay in most browsers.
  • Loop — restart when it ends.
  • Plays inline — play in place instead of going fullscreen on mobile.
  • Controls — show or hide the player bar.
  • Fit — cover, contain, or fill.
  • Poster — an image shown before the video plays.

Save any image or video background as a preset to reuse it.
