Changing Images in Elementor

Step 0 of 4 completed
1
Select the Image Widget

Click on the image you want to change in the page preview. The left panel will switch to the Image widget settings, showing the current image thumbnail and options under the Content tab. You’ll see the image preview, size dropdown, alignment controls, and link settings.

Select the Image Widget
Pro Tip
Look for the blue border and 'Image' label to confirm you've selected the image widget, not a background image.
2
Replace the Image

In the Content tab, click the current image thumbnail or the Choose Image button. This opens the WordPress Media Library. You can either:

Select an existing image — Browse or search the Media Library for the image you want.
Upload a new image — Click the Upload Files tab in the top-left and drag your new image in, or click Select Files to browse your computer.

Once selected, click the Insert Media button to apply the new image.

Replace the Image
Pro Tip
Use the search bar in the Media Library to quickly find images by filename.
3
Adjust Image Settings

After inserting the image, adjust its settings in the left panel:

Image Size — Choose from Thumbnail, Medium, Large, or Full. Full is recommended for hero images; Medium works for smaller in-page images.
Alignment — Set the image to left, centre, or right aligned.
Link — Set what happens when a visitor clicks the image — None, Media File (opens in a lightbox), or Custom URL.

Adjust Image Settings
Pro Tip
Use 'Full' size for hero/banner images and 'Large' or 'Medium' for content images to keep page load times fast.
4
Style the Image (Optional)

Click the Style tab to access visual options:

Width / Max Width — Control how much space the image takes up.
Opacity — Reduce to make the image semi-transparent.
Border & Border Radius — Add a border or round the corners.
Box Shadow — Add a subtle shadow behind the image.

Click Update to save your changes when finished.

Style the Image (Optional)
Pro Tip
A subtle border radius (e.g. 8px) can give images a modern, polished look.
