Images can be used in a variety of ways in Tales Stories, all to great effect.
Individual items a player interacts with can be shown without a background, making great clues, symbols, and things that the player can “pick up” and hold in their inventory.
You can add in images that capture a moment in great (and artistically stylish) detail. This can be the perfect way to show off an iconic moment, an action scene, or a monster.

NOTE: Story editor, our code-free editor, can often alter these parameters. If you are designing your story to use advanced image parameters, make sure to work in code editor at all times.
You may have created an image of your own, or found a publicly available image (that is available for commercial use) that you want to include in your story. You can add that image to your story easily!
In the code editor when you click the "+Add New" image button in the asset window,
you simply click "upload existing" and can add your own image to the image assets
of your story!
Each image fades in by default over 0.5 seconds.

You may want an image to fade away out of view once it’s been seen by the player/reader. Let’s say your character is seeing a magical message written in the air, but once they’ve read it and tap it disappears over 5 seconds.
