Replacing or Swapping an Image Without Breaking the Layout
Sometimes you need to update a photo without disturbing the surrounding design
Sometimes you need to update a photo without disturbing the surrounding design – here’s the safest way to do it.
Replacing within the editor
- Click on the image block you want to change.
- Click the “Replace” button in the block toolbar (or click directly on the image, depending on your theme).
- Choose a new file from Upload, or select an existing one from the Media Library.
Keeping the layout intact
Replacing an image this way keeps its existing size, alignment, and styling settings – only the picture itself changes. Avoid deleting the block entirely and adding a brand new one unless you actually want to reset those settings.
Tip: If the new image has very different proportions to the old one (e.g. swapping a square photo for a wide landscape one), double check how it looks on both desktop and mobile afterwards.
