How to add an image to your event or calendar description

Published  April 27th, 2023  by Michael Nilsson

Adding images to your event or calendar description is a great way to personalize your event or calendar and to add additional information and context. Images will display inline in the event or calendar description on an event landing page or a calendar landing page, or any of the other sharing methods where the event or calendar description is visible.

Please note that images won't be added to the event description when an end-user adds the event to their calendar. This is unfortunately a limitation of the calendar services we support and not something that we can implement until they decide to support it (rest assured that we'll add it as soon as we can).

How to add an image to your event description

  1. Create a new event from the dashboard (or edit an existing event).
  2. From the event creation/editing flow, navigate to the event description section and click the "image" icon to open the image uploader. 
  3. If you have no images uploaded already, you will need to upload a new image. To upload an image, click the "New" > "Image" button and then you can either click the "Upload an image" button to browse the files on your computer, or drag & drop an image directly onto the pop-up. As soon as the image is finished uploading, click "Continue".
  4. From the image manager, select the image that you want to use, and click the "Insert" button. 
  5. Once the image is inserted, you can resize the image, add alt-text, insert a hyperlink, or remove the image from the description.
  6. Click the "Save"/"Create" button at the bottom of the page to save or create your event! To view the image in the event description, go to the event landing page.
