How to Upload Images in WordPress
WordPress makes it super easy to upload images to your posts, pages, and non-content areas like sidebars.
To upload images in WordPress posts and pages, you simply need to add the Image block to the content editor.
You can also add the Image block by simply typing /image into a ‘Paragraph’ block.
The editor will start showing blocks you can insert as soon as you start typing.
WordPress will now add the Image block to the editor.
You need to click on the ‘Upload’ button to select and upload the image from your computer.
You can also select a previously uploaded image from your ‘Media Library.’
After uploading the image, you will see a live preview of the image in the content editor.
You will also see image settings in the right panel. From there, you can provide image alt text, select the image size, and customize the image style.
Pro Tip: Are you experiencing issues with uploading images to WordPress? Check out our guide on how to fix the image upload issue in WordPress.
How to Align an Image to the Left or Right in WordPress
With WordPress, aligning images to the left, right, or center is easy.
Simply select the image by clicking on it, and then click on the alignment button from the block toolbar.
You may have noticed how some popular WordPress blogs use images with text wrapped around them.
This is done by using the align feature.
Alternatively, you can also use the ‘Media & Text’ block instead of the ‘Image’ block.
This block is made specifically to add images next to the text.
You can then upload an image and text side by side.
You can also use the block toolbar to change the image or text side.
For detailed guidance, you can check out our guide on how to align images using the WordPress block editor.
How to Add Captions Below Images
WordPress allows you to easily add captions for images. After you upload an image, you will see the option to add a caption right below the image preview.
Similarly, you can also add captions to image galleries in WordPress. For more details, please see our guide on how to add captions to images in WordPress.
How to Display Photos in Columns and Rows
Often, users ask us how to neatly display photos in columns and rows.
Let’s say you want to share photos of a birthday party or vacation photos. You can add them one by one into a post, but this will look like a lengthy list of images.
The better way to group your photos is by creating image galleries.
WordPress comes with a built-in ‘Gallery’ block that allows you to easily add images in rows and columns with thumbnail previews.
Simply add the ‘Gallery’ block to the post editor and select the images you want to upload.
For more detailed instructions, you’ll want to see our guide on how to create an image gallery in WordPress.
How to Create Responsive Image Galleries in WordPress
You will notice that the default WordPress image galleries lack several features. For instance, they are also not very easy to browse.
If you often upload images and photographs to your WordPress site, then you will need a WordPress photo gallery plugin.
We recommend using Envira Gallery. It allows you to easily create beautiful and fully mobile-friendly image galleries on your WordPress site.
For more information about the plugin, you can check out our complete Envira Gallery review.
The best part is that it adds additional functionality like albums, gallery templates, social sharing, slideshows, watermarking, pagination, password protection, tagging, fullscreen view, and much more.
Another popular WordPress photo gallery plugin is NextGEN Gallery. It offers many gallery layouts and a beautiful lightbox gallery for displaying images in WordPress.
NextGEN Gallery also includes powerful features for professional photographers like photo proofing, print fulfillment, image protection, Adobe Lightroom addon, PayPal and Stripe payment gateways, and more.
For more details, you might want to check out our complete NextGEN Gallery review.
How to Fix Missing Post Thumbnails / Featured Image
Most WordPress themes allow you to prominently display a featured image with your articles. Let’s look at how to set a featured image in WordPress to avoid missing thumbnails.
First, you need to click on ‘Set Featured Image’ to upload your post thumbnail.
After uploading the image, you will be able to see your post thumbnail in the featured image meta box like this.
For more details, see our guide on how to add a featured image or post thumbnail in WordPress.
How to Add Cover Images in WordPress Posts and Pages
Cover images are wide or full-width images that can be used as a separator between different sections of an article or a lengthy sales page.
They are highly engaging and help users easily scan a page without feeling overwhelmed by too much text.
To add a cover image, you simply need to add the Cover block to the content editor.
Next, you need to upload the image you want to use from your computer or select one from the Media Library. If you don’t want to use an image, then you can also select a color background as the cover.
Expert Tip: It is best to use a large image for a better result.
You will now see a live preview of your cover image in the editor. You can change the cover image display options from the block toolbar or use the settings on the right.
To learn more, see our guide on the difference between cover image vs. featured image in WordPress and how to use them effectively.
How to Fix the Featured Image Appearing Twice Issue
Inserting the featured image inside content is a common mistake made by beginners.
Once you set a featured image, you don’t need to insert it into the post along with your content.
Doing so will make your featured image appear twice. Once as the featured image and once as an image inside the post.
You can add other images inside your post, but your featured image goes in the featured image box.
For more details, feel free to read our guide on how to fix featured images appearing twice in WordPress posts.
How to Crop Images in WordPress
When you are uploading images from your phone or camera, they are usually too big.
WordPress automatically creates small, medium, and large image sizes for your original upload. But sometimes, you may need to crop the image in a different size.
WordPress is no Photoshop, but it comes with some basic image editing features like scale, crop, flip, and rotate images.
Simply go to Media » Add New and upload your image. After uploading the image, you will see an ‘Edit’ link next to the uploaded image.
Clicking on it will open the ‘Edit Media’ screen, where you will see an ‘Edit Image’ button right below the image. This will open the WordPress image editor.
From here, you can click on the ‘Edit Image’ button below the image preview. This will open the image editing screen.
On the image editor screen, you will see buttons to perform some basic image editing tasks such as cropping, rotating, resizing, etc.
If you use the block editor, you can crop images by using the built-in crop feature in the image toolbar.
Simply click on an image block and select the ‘Crop’ icon in the toolbar.
After that, you can adjust the image’s aspect ratio and the cropped area of your image to your preference.
You can use your original aspect ratio or a predefined one by WordPress.
For more detailed instructions, you can see our guide on how to crop, rotate, scale, and flip images in WordPress.
How to Add a Header Image in WordPress
A header image in WordPress is a theme feature. Many WordPress free and premium themes come with support for header images.
Some WordPress themes allow you to set a site-wide header image, while others allow you to only set a header image for the homepage.
You can upload your own custom header image from the Appearance » Customize page.
If you use a Block theme, the location to edit your theme’s header is different.
First, you need to go to Appearance » Editor.
Then, go ahead and select ‘Patterns.’
This will bring you to a page where you can access your theme’s header pattern.
After that, you’ll want to scroll down to the ‘Template Parts’ section.
Once you’ve done that, just select ‘Header’ and click on the header template to edit it.
From there, you can add an image block to the header pattern like you would in the first section of this article.
How to Add a Background Image in WordPress
Like the custom header image, a custom background image is a WordPress theme feature. Many WordPress themes support custom background images.
Visit Appearance » Customize to launch the ‘Theme Customizer.’
If you can see the ‘Background Image’ option, then your theme has support for custom backgrounds.
It is a theme feature, which is why it varies from one theme to another. Depending on your theme, you will see different options for styling your background image.
If your theme does not support a background image, then you can still use a plugin to add full-screen background images to your website.
How to Optimize Images for WordPress Without Losing Their Quality
One of the most common image issues WordPress users come across is how to compress their images without losing their quality.
Besides being quicker to upload, optimized images load faster on the front, which enhances the user experience and reduces the bounce rate. This is because they consume less bandwidth, saving on data usage for users with limited internet connections.
Search engines also consider page speed when ranking websites. Optimized images contribute to faster loading times, potentially boosting your search ranking.
Luckily, optimizing images is a pretty easy thing to do. All you need is a good image optimization tool like Optimole to run your images through it.
For more information, check out our guide on how to optimize images without losing quality.
Additionally, you may want to consider lazy-loading your images. This tactic will prevent browsers from loading the images on your website until the user scrolls down to the image’s location.
How to Add Title Attributes to WordPress Images
While not essential for the image to function, title attributes provide a brief description of the image that appears when a user hovers over it.
This can improve the user experience by providing additional context for your visitors. For example, if you have an image of a delicious chocolate cake, a title attribute like ‘Homemade Chocolate Cake’ can be helpful.
Title attributes can also be beneficial for WordPress SEO. While they don’t directly impact search ranking, they can help search engines understand the content of your image and improve your website’s accessibility.
For step-by-step instructions, check out our guide on how to add title attributes to your images in WordPress.
How to Find Free Images for Your WordPress Blog Posts
Images can make your articles stand out. However, you must respect the copyrights of other people and find images that you are legally allowed to use.
We are often asked by our readers about how to find the best, royalty-free images to use in their posts.
There are many websites where you can find royalty-free images to use. However, you will soon notice that images on those sites look overused and generic.
You can see our list of the best sources for free public domain and CC0-licensed images for more references.
Alternatively, you can also use AI to generate unique images and make your visuals stand out from the competition.
How to Categorize and Tag Images in WordPress
If you run a photography blog, then you will notice that WordPress does not allow you to sort photos and images.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could add tags to your images so that you and your users can easily browse them?
Luckily, there are some great plugins that allow you to do just that. For more details, see our article on how to add categories and tags to the WordPress Media Library.
For a photography-related blog, the best option is to use Envira Gallery, which comes with an add-on to add tags.
Envira Gallery allows you to create beautiful, mobile-ready photo galleries in WordPress. Using tags, your users can easily filter and sort photos without even reloading a page.
How to Import External Images in WordPress
This question often comes up when you are migrating your site to WordPress. Some images on your website may still be pointing to an older location.
This is especially true for users importing blogs from Blogger, Squarespace, or WordPress.com.
While the images on your site may appear correctly, they are still loading from an external source. To solve this issue, all you need to do is install and activate the Auto Upload Images plugin.
Heads up: This plugin has not been tested with the most recent WordPress updates. That said, we’ve tested it ourselves, and it works fine for our needs. If you have concerns about using untested plugins, we recommend reading our article on the matter: Should You Install Plugins Not Tested With Your WordPress Version?
Discover a plugin that works better for this purpose? Then we’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments!
The plugin will check for external images once you update or save any post or page. You can manually do that for each post or page, or you can bulk edit all posts and simply click the update button.
For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to import external images in WordPress.
How to Require Featured Images for Posts in WordPress
When running a multi-author site in WordPress, some of your authors may not be familiar with the featured image functionality.
In this case, you may want to remind yourself or your users to upload a featured image whenever they are submitting a post in WordPress.
You can do this by installing and activating the PublishPress Checklists plugin.
Once activated, the plugin will display a red exclamation mark and a ‘Checklist’ tab informing users that this post requires a featured image.
You and your users will be able to save posts as drafts, but you cannot publish the post until you add a featured image.
See our article on how to require featured images for posts in WordPress for more instructions.
How to Set a Default Featured Image in WordPress
Finding the perfect featured image for every post or article is a tough task. Sometimes, you may not want to add a featured image to a post, but your theme may look awkward without one.
This is where a default featured image can come in handy. A default featured image is used when an article does not have a featured image of its own.
You can set a default featured image by using the Default featured image plugin.
For more instructions, please see our guide on how to set a default featured image in WordPress.
How to Create Additional Image Sizes in WordPress
By default, WordPress creates and saves different sizes of your uploaded images, including thumbnails. Your WordPress theme might also generate different image sizes.
If you want to create additional image sizes for your WordPress website, then you will need to register them by adding custom code to your theme’s functions.php file.
To learn more, please see our guide to how to create additional image sizes in WordPress.
How to Prevent WordPress from Generating Image Sizes
As explained before, WordPress creates multiple image sizes for your uploads, including thumbnails, mediums, and large sizes. These are helpful for displaying images in different contexts on your website.
However, if you’re using custom image sizes or want to optimize your website’s storage space, you can prevent WordPress from generating these additional sizes.
To find out how to do this, you can read our tutorial on how to prevent WordPress from generating multiple image sizes.
How to Prevent Image Theft in WordPress
Sometimes, users may steal images from your WordPress website to use on their own sites. This can be very frustrating, especially if you take your own photos or create your own graphics.
Luckily, you can prevent image theft by disabling right-click, adding a watermark to your images, disabling hotlinking, and adding copyright notices.
To learn more, please see our guide on how to prevent image theft in WordPress.

Need help. I’m using Seos Music theme and all my posts that get published on my primary page are automatically aligned to the right. In the archive pages its correctly aligned. According to seos music theme it shouldn’t be doing this but I probably added a plugin for something else and it ruined this. Do you know which classes to look for to fix this issue if you ever heard of this happening?
Neil
To fix the hhtp error when uploading images I tried loads of fixes listed on various websites, however the fix that worked for me was to add a line of code to the .htaccess file to modify the PHP version being used.
The default our web hosting provider was using 5.5, but 5.6 and 7.0 can also be specified.
Adding the following line of code to the .htaccess file cured the image upload issue for me on various sites.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
(Note the gap before .php should be left exactly as shown)
For 7.0 it would be:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php
Your web hosting provider should be able to advise you what versions of PHP they support.

hi, I see many helpful tips in your article, however I can’t use them because somehow I do not seem to get an editing screen like yours. Mine does not have any buttons for cropping, scaling or mirroring and things like that. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for a great article.
I would like to know how can I optimize my wordpress webpage by taking into consideration sizes of the images to load.
What is really strange is the fact that my full webpage is loading much faster (it has almost half of the size as my mobile version). In fact, I can observe that wordpress tries to download bigger image files for my mobile version that for the full webpage.
I have tried to force images to have “medium” size, but nonetheless they are not loading this way on mobile (it was tester in network tab in dev tools).
Just to add, I have tried to minimize my images in various ways. I upload 1200 x 900 image and then it is resized by wordpress. Somehow, wordpress forces to load bigger images than needed – sometimes it is loading full image and sometimes in the resolution belonging to “medium-large” size.
What is really strange is the fact that when wordpress processes my 1200 x 900 image it produces another image with the same resolution that is bigger than my initial file.
Could you please let me know what is the best way of dealing with the problem described?
Kristen

Good article, but the problem I’m having is I edited a picture using picmonkey and used that as my featured image and now, at the top of my post, the featured image is left-aligned. How do I fix that??? There are no options for alignment (or much else) on featured images.

Hi,
m using the twenty sixteen child theme and I’m working on speeding up my loading time. I used pingdom for the speed check. My home page came out as the third biggest file while the page only contains 1 image of 600 x 400 and my other pages got sliders with more than 10 images. So I dont understand why the file size of my homepage is so big. And how I should ajdust this. I have inserted the image with insert media and not with a featured image. Not sure what the difference is. But when I use featured images the file will become even bigger.
Hopefully you can help me out on this.

this post is pretty resourceful for beginners, BUT my problem is with uploading media on the backend. For several hours I’ve been frustrated with this issue – it’s just not working.
Initially, I thought it was the size of the images, but miraculously, 2 bigger sizes as compared to the others I’ve been trying to upload, have been successful. Then I figured it could be the resolution, but that’s also not the issue.
I keep receiving the HTTP ERROR notification after a slow process.
What am I not doing right? What do I do about this? I need help urgently. Thanks a million.

Hi there,
Great post but I still can’t find my issue and have looked and looked. I have a website and have only just noticed that when i go to my posts if i click on the image is shows a very large photo. usually on its own and i have to click back to remove seeing it. Can you help me undersand what setting i need to do so that the photo becomes sticky I guess and not an active large photo.
I have wp smushit to reduce image size and have check page load and it appears it is the images as the main culprit.
Many thanks Help !!
WPBeginner Support
When you add an image into WordPress, you have the option to choose the size of image and whether or not it should be linked.
It seems that you have set it to link to image file. It also seems that you upload large image files. To stop WordPress from automatically linking see our guide on how to automatically remove default image links in WordPress.

We created a Photo Gallery using WordPress. When I first go to the Photo Gallery page, a blue box pops up for a second and then disappears. It has blue lines, and each line has a number before it, 1, 2, 3, etc. Perhaps the number of images? Not sure. The developer who created our web site says he can’t figure out why its doing this. It happens on all the PCs in our office, and mobile devices. Anyone ever see this or have any answers on how to fix this annoying problem? It causes a delay in downloading our photo gallery. Thank you.
WPBeginner Support
This issue can be caused by conflicting or broken CSS. Go to your plugin’s page and deactivate all your plugins. Visit your website after deactivating each plugin until you find the culprit. If you don’t find any plugin causing the issue, then you can safely activate the plugins you deactivated earlier. Try temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Sixteen to find out if the issue is caused by your WordPress theme.
Admin

Hello,
All of the images in my posts are showing as thumbnails. I think somehow the Gallery was activated, but the blog owner does not want the images to show in the black pop up box that currently appears when you click on an image in a post. When I am in a published post now, for example, I click on a thumbnail. The thumbnail pops open a black box, inside of which you can scroll through and see all of the images inside of the post by clicking arrows back and forth. How do I return the posts to showing images without being inside the gallery? The images themselves need to open in a new tab or window, one that is linked through Google Drive. I cannot figure this out. Help!
Thanks in advance…..
WPBeginner Support
When adding an image to a post, after uploading the image you can see some options in the right hand column. One of the option is to select the image size to add and how you want image to be linked. If this does not help, then deactivate all your plugins. See if this resolves the issue. If it does, then reactivate plugins one by one. After activating each plugin visit your site to see if the problem came back. Do that until you find the plugin that is causing the issue.

Hello wpbeginner,
First of all, allow me to thank you very much for your great efforts. I have a them which has a featured image to add. I was uploading the images to external website and then copy the image url and paste it in the featured image and it worked perfect. Now I want to change the theme, the images which are uploaded on the website are shown perfectly but the images which were uploaded on external website are not shown. So what to do in order to fix this? I don’t want to go again for the 1000 posts I have and add the images manually so that appear in the new theme. Is there an automatic way to do this?

HI,
I need your help so badly. To start I am not a tech person, but I do have my website and blog with wordpress.
I have written several articles for my blog and never had this issue with the images that I am including as part of the blog.
I uploaded all the images very nicely no issues there. The problem starts when I preview the post prior to approving. The images (pictures) look cut, but in the back the post and images look perfect. I don’t know what to do – I have read most of the articles but it is hard to figure out what to do when you actually don’t know what to look for. Could you please help me…..

I’m trying to put a new image in my header. I’ve never had problems with this before, but this time every image I upload comes up as a teensy tiny little box in the upper left hand corner. I finally pushed “crop and publish” thinking maybe the image would magically appear once I’d done that, but nope. Now I have no image at all. Then I thought maybe it was my computer, so I used my husband’s computer and had the same problem-o. Help?

I am managing a website for a business and we have an employee page. All but one of the employee pages are perfect. We have it so the image is left aligned and there is text wrapped around it, however for this trouble page the text is butt up to the image and it looks sloppy but when I try to add indents it doesn’t work. How do I solve this?

Try adding margins to the tag. You may have to play around with the 4 values for margins (top, right,bottom,left).
style=”float: left; margin: 40px 10px 0px 20px;”

Add the style to the img tag.

How do I ensure that images in my blog posts that other people see in their reader come up as their original size that they appear on my website, and aren’t simply reduced down to a degrading thumbnail? Thanks a lot

Did you ever get an answer to your question, or figure it out? I am new to WP and I am having the same issue you described. I see my image fine on one of my computers, but it appears as a thumbnail on my other computer.Do you know how to fix this? Thanks a lot.

Hi, very helpful article.
However, I am trying to see if there is a way to fix the alt text from getting cut off when the image is clicked on and pops up. The text below the image in the lightbox pop-up is the alt text, but if it is too long, it will not text wrap. It is in the Customizr theme.
Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks!

I keep getting an error that my images cannot resized when using the cropping option. How do I fix that?
