Images

The Images panel allows you to browse and add images to your map. Click the Images button in the Sidebar Menu to open it.

Tip: The left sidebar can be expanded, and the Tool Settings panel can be minimized to give you more space to browse the image library.

Browsing and Adding Images

Images are organized by creator and can be filtered using the creator filter options at the top of the panel. Each section (Favorites, Custom Images, and Free Images) can be collapsed or expanded using the chevron next to its title. Collapse the sections you're not actively using to reduce clutter in the panel.

A search function is also available to help find specific images.

Click any image to add it to the map. Once added, use the Object tool to move, scale, and rotate it. Scale and rotate handles are not visible on small or zoomed-out images; zoom in to access them.

To delete a selected image, press Backspace or Delete.

Uploading images

You can add your own images to the map in two ways:

• Drag an image file onto the canvas. Dropped images are placed at the exact spot where you release the cursor, so you can position them as you import.
• Click the upload button next to Custom Images and select a file.

Uploaded images can be moved, scaled, rotated, and deleted in the same way as library images, and appear in the Custom Images section of the Images Panel.

Changing image colour

To change the colour of an image, open the Layers menu in the right sidebar, select the Images folder, then click the specific image. The Layer Settings panel will update to show colour options for that image.

Shadows

Images support drop shadows, configurable from the Layer Settings panel:

• Shadow: toggle on/off
• Offset: set X and Y distance (in map units)
• Colour: choose shadow color (default: #000000)
• Opacity: set shadow transparency (0–1)
• Blend Mode: set how the shadow composites with layers below (default: Multiply)

Shadows can be applied in bulk: select multiple images from the canvas or Layer Menu and adjust shadow settings to apply them all at once.

Grouping images

To group multiple images, select them using the Object tool, then press G or click the Group button that appears above the selection. To ungroup, select the group and press G.

Locking images

Image layers (as well as text, door, and stair layers) can be locked to prevent them from being accidentally selected or moved. This is especially useful when drawing or placing objects over a large background image.

To lock a layer, click the padlock icon next to it in the Layer Menu. Locked layers cannot be selected with the Object tool until unlocked.

Favorites

Favorites allow you to save images for quick access across maps. To favorite an image, click the star icon in the upper-right corner of its thumbnail. favorited images appear under the favorites heading at the top of the Images panel.
