Changing image from Square to rectangle

askMark · ‎11-17-2020

I am building a website on Weebly/Square. I am a total novice, but have had help. I have brought in images onto pages, showing products (my books). The default image is square, and somewhere along I was able to get one section to elongate to show the entire book cover. I have sat for hrs, trying to find a way to change some of my other book cover images to rectangle. I remember the screen, and it had the image with a bunch of sizing dashes underneath, and I merely clicked and got diff image options. Does somebody have a flow chart to get me there? I remember it's NOT in the item library, but on the left when the image on the page is before me.

Help! And Thank you!

Dashboard ---> Square Online --->website (left side) --->edit site ---->Now you should be in the online editor

Go to the item section/page you want to change the images

Click on the section (i.e. Featured Items) --->scroll down to item images ---> crop

From here you can change the crop of the image to rectangular.

Another great option with square online is to scroll down to the bottom and play with the layout. You can change the number of columns etc. There are limited options but this should let you get what you want.

Thanks! I struggle with the website construction. That option to crop is not always there. I guess I'm finding that the method for me is not intuitive. The option to crop is not there with some of the images, but I get all mixed up as to where I am in the site! I was able to get my images changed.

Thanks! I was able to recognize the image you sent pic of. I struggle with the website construction. That option to crop is not always there. I guess I'm finding that the method for me is not intuitive. The option to crop is not there with some of the images, and I had another helper the other day who couldn't find it, either, so we gave up and moved along rather than get caught "in the weeds!" I get all mixed up as to where I am in the site! I was able to get my images changed.
