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

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

1. Click on the **Image with text** section to open the section 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. Select an **Image aspect ratio** to crop your image to **Square**, **Landscape**, or **Portrait**.

   > The **Natural** setting displays the original shape of your image.

5. Select the **Image position** to display the image on the **Left** or **Right** side of the section.

   > The text content will display on the opposite side of the image.
6. Click **Save**.

The **Small** image overlays the bottom corner of the feature image. The small image is about 1/4 of the size of the feature, creating a layered, editorial style. It's great for a close-up or detailed photo of your product.
