At the top of the Image Library, you’ll find the tab navigation where you can choose to upload or select images that are already in your library.
On the Library panel, you can find a search box, search filters and an image panel where you click images to select them for use.
Edit an image by clicking on the edit icon found on each image in the Image Library either in the Upload panel or the Library panel.
Here you can change the name and alt. text of the image, and crop the image as desired.
To crop an image, click on the blue notepad in the top left of the image. Here, you can crop the image to square.
All images uploaded for products, categories and pages are made square by the Image Library for best results on all screen sizes.
