Hey there, Arsalan. We recently added more formatting options for your text in Rise. Is increasing the font size what you're looking to do? You can also add or remove padding (the space) between your blocks lessons in the Settings for each block.
As for images, Rise will resize images based on the device using to view the course. Alyssa gives some further detail here. We recommend using the highest resolution images for the best output.
Are you also using an Image & Text block, like the one shown below?
While there isn't a way to decrease the space between the photo and the text, you can increase or decrease the size of the photo itself. This will change the amount of space available for the text.
That is currently not a feature in Rise 360, but please take a moment to submit a feature request here with more details about exactly what you’d like to see. Thanks :)
Hi, I have a similar question about this text and image block. When I use this, it's wider than the paragraph block so the text margins don't align. Is there a place to change this setting so the left and right hand margins are consistent all the way down the page?
This current functionality is limited. There should be more settings or new image with text option, to add smaller image or alternately use image text image option.
Hi, is it possible to adjust the text positioning over the cover photo? Often I find that the text is sitting directly over a persons face (if the image contains a person) which is not very professional looking, and the perceived impression is not great to begin the course with. See attachment.
I understand that, and have tried different photos. But when you have the perfect photo, it is a little challenging if you are not able to manipulate the text positioning,
I see this thread was started a while ago and I'm new to Articulate, so in case there's been an update...
Can anyone explain why images are differing sizes when I import them into Rise? I have two images that are the same size in PowerPoint, but when I add them into Rise in order to the use them for a labelled graphic, they are completely different sizes - one is perfect, the other is huge!
I have tried compressing the large image, but that doesn't change it's size in Rise, just it's quality.
The images are online 'teacher resources' from a core textbook that I use with students, so I am unsure why they should differ so much, and I am reluctant to use a random image from Google as then I get issues with copyright, etc.
Hello, Danielle. PowerPoint will allow you to adjust image sizes to fit the slide you're working with. Labeled graphics in Rise 360 will display the actual dimensions of the image (within a certain range).
What are the actual dimensions of the images you're using?
I am also interested in resizing images, not cropping them. I often want to reduce or enlarge images in all the different blocks where images are available. How do I do this?
Current situation: I have a process block with an image from the 360 content library. The image shows up really big and I would like it to be small. It is so big that the user doesn't see the text underneath the image unless they scroll down. Often they start clicking the right and left arrows on the process and never scroll down to read the text.
Hi Tracey! It sounds like you're using an image that has a much longer height, than its width. Images are displayed in a ratio, so even if you resized it, it may still push the text down. If you still would like to resize the image outside of Rise 360, you can:
- Right-click the image to save it on your desktop.
The option to clearly position an image when using the 'Text on Image' option is terrible. No matter what size I try to use and upload, it always appears blurry and heavily pixelated. There should be a way that users can alter this feature from within the authoring tool...it's a continued bugbear.

Hi - Can you decrease the space between the photo and the text to the right or left of the photo???
Hi Angie!

There doesn't seem to be a way of resizing the images under setting when Two-column grid is chosen. So, my images are clipped. What's the trick?
I also would like to know how to resize pictures.
Hi Alexis,
That is currently not a feature in Rise 360, but please take a moment to submit a feature request here with more details about exactly what you’d like to see. Thanks :)
I agree with Angie Corogin's request to be able to move the text over to the left (or right) of a picture when you are adding text on the picture.
Hi Elizabeth! For Image & Text blocks, you can move the image to the right or the left of the text:
Text on Image blocks don't offer that option. I can share that request with my team!

Jessica there are no settings to adjust the left and right hand margins.

just a note, I have tried to manipulate the picture, by cropping and resizing. The simplest solution would be to be able to move the text around.
Hi Renee! Thanks for asking.
There isn't a way to reposition the title text on top of the cover photo, so I would suggest choosing a photo that pairs well with the text placement.
I understand that, and have tried different photos. But when you have the perfect photo, it is a little challenging if you are not able to manipulate the text positioning,

Hope that helps!

Hi Kate,
When you add images to Rise, it automatically compresses your image which may be causing the image to be blurry and pixelated.
Adding _NOPROCESS_ to the image file name tells Rise 360 not to compress the image file.
For example, a file named car.png would become car_NOPROCESS_.png.
Thanks Karl...for a viewing size of 100%, is it approximately 1900 x 400 px that will work without heavy pixelation as well?
