How to Change Images on a WIX Website

Photos say a lot about your business. An old or blurry photo can make even a great business feel out of date. The good news is that changing images on your WIX website is quick, and you don't need any design skills to do it.


Here's how to change images on your WIX website, step by step.


Before You Start


  • Log in to your WIX account

  • Open the correct website

  • Click Edit Site


That's it. You're ready to go.


How to Change an Image on a Page


1. Click on the Image You Want to Change


  • Find the image on the page you're editing

  • Click once to select it


A small toolbar will appear above or beside the image.


2. Click Change Image


This opens the WIX Media Manager, where all your image options live.


3. Choose Where Your New Image Comes From


You have a few choices:


  • Upload from your computer – pick a photo saved on your device

  • Wix Media Library – reuse an image you've already uploaded to your site

  • Free images – choose from WIX's built-in library of stock photos

  • Social – pull an image from a connected social account


Pick whichever option has the photo you want to use.


4. Adjust the Image (Optional)


Once your new image is in place, you can:


  • Crop it

  • Reposition it inside its frame

  • Adjust brightness or filters


You don't need to do this. It's only there if you want to fine-tune how the photo looks.


5. Click Outside the Image


Click anywhere outside the image to apply your change. WIX saves your work automatically while you edit.


How to Change a Background Image


Background images work a little differently than regular photos.


  • Click on the background section (not a specific image inside it)

  • Click Change Background

  • Upload a new image or choose one from your library

  • Adjust the fit or position if needed


Background images often cover a large area, so choose a photo that still looks clear and clean when it's stretched wide.


How to Change Images in a Gallery


If your site has a photo gallery:


  • Click on the gallery

  • Click Manage Gallery, or the plus icon to add new photos

  • Upload your new images

  • Remove old images by clicking the trash icon beside them

  • Drag and drop to reorder your photos, if you'd like


6. Preview and Publish


  • Click Preview to see how your new image looks

  • Check it on both desktop and mobile

  • Click Publish when you're happy with it


Your new image is now live on your website.


Helpful Tips for Choosing Images


  • Use bright, clear, well-lit photos

  • Avoid images that are blurry or stretched out of shape

  • Keep your file sizes reasonably small so your site loads quickly

  • Real photos of you, your team, or your work build more trust than generic stock photos


Final Thought


Changing an image is one of the easiest updates you can make on your WIX website, and it can make a big difference in how fresh and current your site feels to visitors.


One photo at a time is all it takes to keep your website looking its best.
