How to add images into your WordPress site including posts and pages

Images are one of the main elements that you will be uploading into your website. Whether it will be into your posts or pages, you will need to get your images ready and upload them into WordPress first. This little article will give you necessary information on what you need when uploading and inserting your ideas into the WordPress page.

Step 1 – Prepare the images

You need to prepare your images for the website, depending on where they are going. If you need the ideas to be the same size, then remember the aspect ratio you will need for the purpose. Name the files; we advise not to use names like untitled as this can have some impact on your SEO. Your images should be in a JPG, GIF or PNG format; other types are likely to slow your website down or not open.
