Images FAQ
Everything you need to know about adding, managing, and making the most of images in your Simplebooklet.
General Questions
What types of images can I add to my Simplebooklet?
You can add images in three ways:
- Upload your own — any photo, logo, graphic, or illustration from your device
- Search Unsplash — browse thousands of license-free, high-resolution stock photos built directly into the editor
- Use your Image Library — access any image you've previously uploaded, available across all your booklets
What image file types are supported for uploading?
Simplebooklet supports standard image formats including JPG, PNG, and GIF. Animated GIFs are fully supported and will play automatically on your page.
Can I add images to every page?
Yes. You can add as many images as you need to any page in your Simplebooklet. Each image can be independently repositioned and resized using the Element Editor.
Can I add more than one image to a page?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of images you can place on a single page.
Uploading Images
How do I upload an image to my booklet?
In the Edit tab, click the Images button in the left-hand toolbar, then click Upload Image and select your file. Your image will be placed on the page automatically.
How do I reposition or resize an image after adding it?
Click on the image to open the Element Editor. Drag it to reposition it anywhere on the page, and use the handles to resize it.
Can I crop an image inside Simplebooklet?
Yes. Click on the image, then click the orange crop icon in the top-left corner to crop it directly in the editor. No external tools needed.
Unsplash — License-Free Images
What is Unsplash and how do I access it?
Unsplash is a platform offering thousands of high-resolution, license-free photographs. It's built directly into Simplebooklet's image panel — no account or subscription required. In the Edit tab, click Images and use the search bar below the Upload button to find and add images instantly.
Are Unsplash images free to use?
Yes. All images available through the Unsplash integration are free to use with no attribution required.
Can I search for specific types of images on Unsplash?
Yes. Use the search bar to find images by topic, keyword, mood, or subject. The more specific your search terms, the more relevant your results will be.
Image Library
What is the Image Library?
The Image Library is a personal storage space where every image you upload is saved and kept available for use across all your Simplebooklets. Upload once, use everywhere.
How do I access my Image Library?
In the Edit tab, click the Images button in the left-hand toolbar, then switch to the Image Library tab at the top of the panel.
How do I add an image from my library to my current booklet?
Simply drag and drop the image from your Image Library onto the page you're working on.
How do I delete an image from my Image Library?
Hover over the image in your Image Library and click the trash icon that appears.
GIFs
Can I add animated GIFs to my Simplebooklet?
Yes. GIFs are uploaded through the same Images tool using the Upload Image button. Once added, your GIF will play automatically and loop continuously on the page.
Can I crop a GIF?
Yes. Click on the GIF and use the orange crop icon in the top-left corner, the same as you would for a standard image.
Can I use GIFs in my Image Library?
Yes. GIFs you upload are saved to your Image Library and can be reused across booklets.
Interactive Images
Can I make an image clickable?
Yes — in two ways depending on how visible you want the interaction to be.
An Image Button is a visible, labelled button that opens one or more images in a lightbox when clicked. Use this when you want your audience to clearly see that there's more to explore.
An Image Hotspot is an invisible clickable area you place over existing content. When clicked, it opens an image in a lightbox. Use this when you want the interactivity to feel seamless without adding a visible element to your design.
Can I display multiple images in a lightbox?
Yes. Both Image Buttons and Image Hotspots support multiple images, which display as a browsable gallery in the lightbox.
Can I add captions to images in a lightbox?
Yes. Both Image Buttons and Image Hotspots include an optional caption field. Use it to add context, labels, or descriptions for your viewers.
How Images Support the Reader's Journey
Images do meaningful work at every stage of the Reader's Journey. In the Awareness stage, strong visuals make an instant impression and signal that your content is worth exploring. In the Attention stage, well-placed images and GIFs break up text, reward curiosity, and keep viewers engaged as they move through your pages. In the Immersion stage, product photography, infographics, and interactive image galleries build understanding and give readers the visual evidence they need to feel confident. And in the Action stage, the right image placed alongside the right call to action makes the next step feel personal — not transactional.
