Once you add a modern page to a site, you insert and customise web parts, which are the starting points of your page. This article outlines how to use the Image web part. Use it to insert an image on the page, either from your site, your computer, or from the web.
Add an image to your page
- If you’re not in edit mode already, select Edit at the top right of the page.
- Hover your mouse atop or under an existing web part or under the title region, press
, and then choose the Image web part.
- Pick a recent image or get an image from a web search, your site, your computer, or a link. If your organisation has definitive range of approved images, you’ll be able to select from that set under Your organisation.
Notes:
- Web search uses Bing images that utilise the Creative Common licence. You are responsible for reviewing licencing for an image before you insert it on your page.
- If you’re a SharePoint Admin and want to learn how to create an asset library for Your organisation, see Create an organisation assets library.
- Press Open or Add image (depending on where your image is coming from).
- Optionally, write a caption under the image in the web part.
- Choose Edit web part
(on the left) to edit the image, add a link to the image, add text over the image, and to add or change alternative text (for people who use screen readers).
Automatic alternative text:
After you insert an image, alternative text (for people with screen readers) is automatically generated. In many cases, the text is instantly saved with your image, unless you change or remove it. In cases where the confidence level of the alternative text for the image is minimal high, you’ll observe an alert on the image that prioritises your attention to review and update or maintain the alternative text.
Crop your image
You can crop an image without or without employing established aspect ratios.
- If you’re not in edit mode already, press Edit at the top right of the page.
- Pick your particular image you want to edit. The toolbar for editing images will be presented.
- Aspect ratios
- Crop with free ratio
- Undo
- Reset
- Preview (save)
Crop using aspect ratio
Cropping with aspect ratio enables you to finalise the proportion of the width and height of your image. The area outlined in blue in the following image represents a 1:1 (square) aspect ratio selection.
- Select the Aspect ratios button
.An extra toolbar will glide out, with options for various aspect ratios.
Pick your desired aspect ratio. 16:9 is the left-most aspect ratio option, followed by 3:2, 4:3, and 1:1. You’ll notice a preview box to indicate how your picture will be cropped. You can move the crop box within your picture to alter area that is cropped. You can even rotate the crop box in a way to adapt how the aspect ratio orientation is presented by selecting the Rotate crop box button 
.
- When you’re done, click Save
.
Crop manually
- Select the Crop with free ratio button
to crop excluding using aspect ratio. Then drag one of the squares on every side of the image to make your image narrower, wider, taller, or shorter.
- Once you’re done, click Save .
Resize an image
Whilst you’re in edit mode, you can resize an image by clicking it to display how the resize handles, or by picking the Resize button on the image toolbar. Then drag one of the handles to become your preferred image size.
Undo or reset
Use the Undo button 
to undo the last action. Select the Reset button 
to undo every change you’ve made simultaneously, reverting the image to its previous state it was in since you last saved.
