Wix Editor: Adding and Customizing Images on Your Mobile Site

Create a beautiful visual experience on your mobile site by refining the images carried over from your desktop version, as well as customizing the images you add from the mobile editor.

Customization of images carried over from desktop is limited - you can adjust your image settings, crop the image and add fun animations.

With images that you add from the mobile editor, you have full control over customization - add filters and frames, customize what happens when an image is clicked and more.
