Images and custom graphic designs are the heart of visual marketing. Whether you are showing restaurant menus, event notices, team photos, or promotional flyers, Variabl's Image app lets you display them beautifully.

Step-by-Step Guide to Add an Image

Obtain your Image Link

Currently, Variabl displays images hosted online:

  1. Upload your image to an image host, your own server, or a cloud drive (ensure it is publicly accessible).
  2. Copy the direct image link (the URL should end with .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, or .gif).
