AdRoll's Email building tool allows you to directly search for, or upload pictures, as well as customize their appearance.
First, create a new Email or start with a new Email template. Otherwise, you can also edit an existing template.
To add images
- Drag an Image Content Box into the template.
- Click Browse.
- You have three options to get images into your email: Upload (step 4), Import (step 5), and Search for free photos (step 6).
- To Upload, select an image from your device and click Open.
- To Import, upload your URL or choose a place like Google Drive, Facebook or Instagram to connect. You can even take a picture right from your computer!
- Click Search for Free Photos. Type in a keyword and browse the available images. Once you've decided click Import.
- Once your image has been uploaded, click Insert.
After you've added your images, you can edit how they will appear in your email.
