say, 3 across and three down? 

 I could create each cell within a box and it will give me the option to crop etc..

Hello @AnneR487 ,

 

To insert images in a neat and organized manner, simply drag and align them in rows and columns of three. For comprehensive and visual instructions, please refer to our primary article on the subject, also accessible through the "Help" (?) button in your account. For guidance on utilizing the drag-and-drop editors, relocating action blocks, and managing sections, we recommend consulting our main article on the matter, also accessible through the "Help" (?) button in your account.

HI William,

I tried to use your 3 column set up but I can't place them side by side. 

this is what I am trying to make. so each pix will have a thin white line between them.

You said I can't over ride the margin on text box. can I over ride the margin on the picture box? 

Also is it possible to create a grid where I can populate each box with a picture? Sort of a *cell* arrangement. 

I am trying to create a template for my client so they can put whatever the picture they want to put in inside the grid.

That example email's image is a collage - it's all one photo. You can tell this by either trying to click and drag the image, or by opening the image in a new tab. Images cannot be placed into tables / cells in emails at this time, as email apps do not play well with these kinda of setups in emails, and will either spam out or completely skew the email.

Yes. The sample I posted is one photo. I used to make it when I used to use html code. 

Interesting that cells in emails do not work well. and I am trying to duplicate their email in your template as we decided to migrate the account 

What do you mean by *skew the email *? 

I need to explain that to my client!

If it's all one photo, then you wouldn't be building it in the drag-and-drop email editor. You'd be using an image-editing program to build that collage of multiple image.

 

It means that using something like a table with images has not worked well in email apps. It causes images to become cutoff, the tables to break down, or for it to just not diplay at all.

 

I'd advise utilizing our existing Knowledge Base library of support articles to get more insight, advice, and guidance on getting started. These articles are also available in accounts via the Help (?) button. You can also utilize our Community's Getting Started resources.

 

Please also keep our Community Guidelines in mind when posting to the Community, as I've had to edit several of your posts so far.
