Upload two **Images** and fine-tune their **Height** and **Focal point**. Add a **Mobile-specific image** for the best results on smaller screens.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Add image blocks</mark>

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

In your theme editor (**Customize**):

1. Click on an **Image hero split** block to open the settings.
2. Click **Select image** to upload and select an image file.

   > There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend uploaded images have a minimum width of **`2050px`** for optimal quality across all devices.
3. (*Optional*.) Upload a **Mobile image** to display only on mobile devices.

   > You may want a different image that works best with mobile screen dimensions, for example a portrait shaped image.
4. Use **Image focal points** to specify the main focus of your images. The focal point of your image will remain centered and within frame when your site adapts to different screen sizes.

   > See our [image guide](/stiletto/general/image-guide/theme-image-settings.md#image-focal-point) to learn more about specifying a focal point for an image used within a section or for an uploaded image file when used anywhere on your site.
5. Enter text for the **Heading** as a title overlayed on top of the image block.
6. Enter **Text** for a subheading beneath the heading to say more. We recommend a short sentence or two.

   > Use the formatting buttons to add text styles, links, or lists. To learn more, see Shopify's [Rich text editor guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin/productivity-tools/rich-text-editor#format-text-with-the-rich-text-editor).
7. Select or paste a URL for the **Button link**.
8. Enter text for the **Button label**. If left blank, the entire image will be a clickable link.

   > The most effective button labels ask customers to do something (e.g. Get started, Join us, Shop now). To learn more, [read "What is a Call to Action?"](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/call-to-action-1794380)
9. Select a **Button style**: either **Solid**, **Outline**, or **Text**.

   > Click on the **Image hero split** section to find the color options for buttons.
10. Repeat steps 1 - 6 for the second hero image block.
11. Click **Save**.
