Attachment image orientation controls in Elementor

Content sets the file source, the image, the wording for each orientation, the square tolerance, text before and after, the empty text, the HTML tag and an icon. The Style tab covers typography, colours, surface, border, alignment, padding, radius and the icon.

03 / Website use cases

Where to use attachment image orientation

Print shops, photo libraries and galleries describe images by format, and checking each one by eye is slow. Attachment image orientation says landscape, portrait or square from the image's stored size, in your own words, and can count nearly square images as square.

Print shops

Label prints as wide, tall or square.

02

Photo libraries

Show each photo's format.

03

Templates

Label the featured image's format.
