When adding images to Rise tabs and accordians they are automatically left aligned which is ok if the image is landscape and fills the space but if the image is smaller it doesn't look great. It would be good to have the option to centre images and also resize. (Maybe I'm missing something?)
Sorry, I can't help with that. Maybe someone else could chime in to help you.
I suggest in your case though, if you are receiving these images from someone else, you can mention to them you need higher resolution images for the course to look right. The centering issue seems to be secondary for you ;)
I agree that centering images (and being able to change their size) is necessary for accordions and tabs. I can't increase my image size because I am using animated GIFs created from videos and it would make them look odd to resize them.
+1 for centering images. I've also put in a feature request for the same.
I agree with an earlier comment, that it makes me (as a developer) look bad and that I haven't taken the time to center images, when really I don't have the ability too.
I understand it looks different on different devices, but we only use desktop computers for our courses (and that's where/when it looks wonky being left aligned).
There just about needs to be a Reddit style feature request thumbs up for requests on the forum. Yes, another addition that would be welcome. The workaround is to make a wide image with white space either size which is forcing scaling anyway. Just adds time to a simple task.
Looks like users have been requesting the ability to centre images in Tabs in Articulate Rise for over two years, but the functionality is STILL not there - any time soon, Articulate Team?
Hi Robin, thanks for checking in. Adding the ability to center images in a Tabs block isn't on our immediate roadmap, but we're still tracking requests.
I don't believe this is an option (as of yet). An HTML editor would be AMAZING.
I did a "hack" or a workaround for the tabs widget used. I edited my images to be 760 pixels wide and had my actual image in the center with a transparent background. This creates an illusion of white space around your image. This will make your image appear smaller in the tablet/mobile views but they will be centered on all devices (see attached image).
I really could do with the ability to center images in the Tabs. I use a lot of images in my courses and the workaround of editing each image with whitespace/transparency simply wastes time - for something (centering) that should really be available in a rapid development package! I loved Rise initially but it is starting to grind on me slightly now when basic editing options like this are not available. And as it is still probably not on the development roadmap (this thread is 2 years old) I think I will be moving away from developing in Rise for my next builds.
Adding my vote to the ability to centre/crop images etc. Also feeling frustrated that some pretty basic features seem to be being overlooked for more bells and whistles.... Fingers crossed it wont be another 2 years before something happens!
If you haven't tried already. If you crop the image by reducing its height so that the image is wider than it is in height, the image magically fills the space edge to edge. Not ideal in every case but is a workaround I've found useful.

Hi Ros!
Thank you for your help. I don't have access to photoshop. Any free programs out there you'd suggest I use to make the edits?
Thanks again for your help.

Will do. :)

Hey Holly!
Check out the solution I shared in this similar discussion! I think it's just the thing you're looking for. 😁
Will do. Thanks Alyssa!

Thanks for your feedback, Meghan! And let me know if the solution I shared in this similar discussion would work for you in the meantime. 😁
It does, thanks Alyssa!
You're welcome, Meghan!

Hello all,

Hopefully, this helps for the time being!

I am just trying out Rise now (we're paying for it, why not use it, right?)
This seems like SUCH a basic option when placing images/text/media in a space, why is not an option in Rise?
Keen on this 'feature' also. Have logged feature request as highlighted earlier. Great product elsewise.
Centrist too!
Hi,
Just wanted to add that to be able to center images would be an excellent feature!
I'd like to add my vote to be able to center graphic using accordion.
Adding my vote to the ability to centre/crop images etc. Also feeling frustrated that some pretty basic features seem to be being overlooked for more bells and whistles.... Fingers crossed it wont be another 2 years before something happens!
+1 for this as well!
Another user that would like the ability to center images. Request 2 years ago though...doesn't look likely.
I would also like to see a center image option on tabs!
This is something that would be great to have.
