Website Design Service: Editing images

Valid for IONOS Website Design Service.

After your new website has been finished and approved, our Website Design Team will enable the image editing feature. This feature allows you to replace images on your website, add captions and links, all on your own. This article will guide you through making these changes.

You can find out how to change texts yourself in the Help Centre article "Website Design Service: Editing text"

Add new images

To add new images, use the Upload Centre. The Help Centre article "Website Design Service: Upload files and documents with the Upload Centre" explains how to use this.

Note

Most images and photos are protected by copyright and can therefore not be used in your web project without consent. The IONOS Digital Guide Free graphics, backgrounds, and vectors online gives you some legal, alternative sources for royalty-free images.

Edit images

Use the CoOperator for image processing:

Log in to your IONOS account.
Click Menu > Websites & shops in the title bar.
In the tile for your website design service contract, click Manage website.
Click on Edit website and the CoOperator will open in a new window.
Select the pencil icon (Edit website) in the CoOperator navigation bar on the left. Your website is displayed in the detail window.
Click on the Edit content button at the bottom right of the screen to activate the editing mode for the displayed page.
Select the desired image. A toolbar and the Upload Centre are displayed.

You have the following editing options for individual images:

Replace: Select an image from the Upload Centre or upload a new image.
Caption: Adds text to the selected image. Further editing options are available for the text.
Link: Links the image to a URL. This opens when the image is clicked.

Note

Please note that image elements may be locked due to design decisions. You can recognise this by a lock symbol.

Edit galleries

Galleries group several images together. The editing options from the previous section "Editing images" are available for individual images. In addition, the toolbar has been expanded to include the drag and move elements, which you can use to rearrange the gallery images.

Use the new arrow symbol (select container) on the far left of the toolbar to select the entire gallery. Click on the Edit button that appears to activate the Upload Centre. You can add or delete further images in the Upload Centre.

Problems with image processing

The following causes can prevent image processing:

Function not enabled: The image editing function must be activated by the website design team. Activation takes place during the acceptance meeting. If this has not been done, please call us.
Internet presence is currently being edited: While the website design team is working on your website, you cannot make any changes.
