As I\u2019ve said before, Pages<\/a> is my go-to macOS (and iPadOS) application for word processing and document creation. One of the nice features is how easy it is to add, replace, and work with images in the utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add a media placeholder to a Pages document. It\u2019s for adding an image, video, or audio file. Using a media placeholder lets you replace media without disturbing other elements on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a media placeholder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Add an image to your document, then format it the way you want your document\u2019s images to look. You can add a mask, add a border, rotate the image, change its size, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the image to select it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Choose Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To add an image<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Launch Pages, open the document you want to add an image to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Drag an image from your computer or a webpage to a media placeholder or anywhere else on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 OR click the image icon in the bottom-right corner of a media placeholder, then select an image from a photo library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Or click the image icon in the toolbar, Choose Photos, and drag an image from a photo library to the page or to a media placeholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To replace an image<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Select the image you want to replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 In the Format sidebar<\/a>, click the Image tab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click Replace, then choose an image. (The new image retains the dimensions of the original.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a description to an image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can add a description to an image in a Pages doc. Apple says that image descriptions are read by assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver) when someone uses that technology to access your document. Image descriptions aren\u2019t visible anywhere in your document. To add an image description:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the image to select it, then in the Format sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the Image tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click the Description text box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Enter your text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
