Adding Images to Your Visual

3. Browse through the generated result and click to select an image. The selected images will be added to your visual. 

4. Drag the side handlers of the inserted image to resize the image.

Common Questions

Can I copy and paste my images?

You can’t directly copy and paste images from Google or other external sources into your Piktochart visual. Instead, download the image to your computer first, then upload it to Piktochart through the My Uploads tab to use it in your design.

Why are my uploaded images missing?

When you upload a personal image and add it to the canvas, it must remain in the Uploads section of the Editor. If the image is deleted from Uploads, it will no longer appear on your canvas — you’ll see a blank space both when editing and downloading your visual. To fix this, simply re-upload the image and place it back on the canvas.

Can I edit my photos in Piktochart Editor? 

At the moment, the Piktochart Editor doesn’t support photo editing features like filters or effects. To make edits, you’ll need to use an external photo editing tool, then re-upload the updated image to Piktochart.

Pexels Image Usage License

Photos from Pexels are free to use, and no attribution is required. While you’re not obligated to credit the photographer or Pexels, doing so is always appreciated.

You can review their full License and Terms of Use.

Why can't I upload more images? 

You may have reached your upload limit. Free users have up to 100MB of upload space. To add more images, you can either upgrade to Pro for additional space or delete some of your existing uploads to free up room.
