Besides knowing how to optimize images, inserting images is an essential task when you create a new page on your store. It enables you to beautify your pages and showcase your products more easily. When customers can visualize more clearly, they tend to stay longer to explore.

And on the WYSIWYG bar, you can see the Insert Image icon, just tap it to add any image you need on the CMS page. Besides, another way you can use is provided by Media Storage.
