Set All Images as Thumbnails

If you want all block images to appear as thumbnails in your HTML5 output, use the Use thumbnails for all mediaobject (block) images setting. This is in the HTML5 layout. This can be useful when you have large images that take up too much space on the page. By setting them as "thumbnail" images, they will appear much smaller. You should also enable the lightbox feature so that end users can select the images to display a larger version.

When you enable the setting and publish, the images will appear as smaller "thumbnail" images. We recommend that you also enable Lightbox for Images so that your readers can select the "thumbnail" images to display a larger version.

Tip

If you only want certain images to appear as thumbnails, see Set Thumbnails for Individual Images.
