Attaching Image or Media Assets
Upon selecting the “Attach Media File” button, the Attach Media File page view enables you to select existing assets or upload new assets and insert them into your project. Attach images, videos, and audio files to your project chapters, and they will appear in book formats that support them.
Once an image has been inserted and project saved, you can click on the image to add title and link (applicable for digital versions of book) and also adjust the position. Alignment choices are:
- Left
- Center
- Right
- Fit to Width
*Tip: If you plan on using your uploaded images the full-width of your book, it's important to have a large enough image file for quality output. Printed images should be at least 250ppi (pixels-per-inch) at final output size. A way to check if your image has enough resolution is to take the width that it will print at and multiply by 250, then check if your pixel dimensions are at least that wide. (For example if your image will print at 5 inches wide, the uploaded image should be at least 1250 pixels wide.)
