Quick answer
Use a suitably sized, licensed replacement and verify it on the page. Cropping, alternative text, links, and reuse across shared content all affect whether the new image works as intended.
Ask AI for help with the image change
Provide a public screenshot and the intended image purpose if useful. Ask for the right crop and meaningful alternative text, then inspect the actual Media Library asset and page. Do not give a chat customer uploads, private galleries, or credentials to explain a public image problem.

Before you begin
Keep the original and confirm rights to the replacement. Identify whether it is a content image, background, linked image, logo, or shared template asset.
What to do
- Prepare the image for its real display size and an appropriate format. Avoid uploading a huge original when the page needs a much smaller image.
- Upload using the site’s media workflow. Use a helpful filename and retain licensing or attribution records where needed.
- Provide alternative text for meaningful information. A decorative image may need empty alternative text; a linked image needs an understandable link purpose.
- Replace it in the correct block, builder module, or template. Check focal point, crop, link, and caption settings.
- Preview phone and desktop widths and save. Verify the public page loads the new file without a broken image or unexpected layout shift.
How to check the result
Review the image in context, not only in the media library. Check cropping, neighboring text, and other pages intentionally sharing that image or template. A logo must remain readable at its actual header size.
If you need help
If the old image remains, check page settings and cache layers before deleting files. Removing a shared original can break other pages. Send the URL and identify the particular occurrence that should change.
