This article shows you how to customise the layout of your stories and posts in Educa. You'll learn how to move and align images, add text in different ways, and create neat captions — all using Educa’s flexible story editor.
What You’ll Learn
General Layout Tips
Educa’s story editor gives you a blank canvas to work with. You can place images anywhere, in any size, with text wrapping around them. Use drag or click to move images, and customise your layout with background colours, different fonts, and emojis.
Moving images:
Hover over an image to see the orange Click or Drag button.
Click it to reveal a blue grid of placement lines.
When a line turns orange, click to place the image there.
Images placed side-by-side in a row will auto-resize to match.
Images placed one above the other in a column will also match sizes automatically.
💡 Tip: Want to create a photo row? Move an image onto a new line, then drag another image beside it.
Scenario 1: You Wrote Text First, Now Want to Add Images
If you’ve written your story and now want to add visuals:
Click the Add Media button to upload your images.
Hover over an image to reveal the orange Click or Drag button.
Click it to open the blue placement grid.
Hover until a line turns orange, then click to place the image.
The image will resize to match your layout.
You can copy and paste parts of your text between images to break up your story further.

Scenario 2: You Uploaded Images First, Now Want to Add Text
If you’ve uploaded images first (e.g. via mobile), and want to add text around them:
Hover over any image and click the orange Click or Drag button.
Use the blue grid to place the image — click when the line turns orange.
Once the images are in place, add your text. You can paste it or type it directly in.
Adjust spacing between sections as needed.
✅ Click Draft or Publish to save your changes.

Scenario 3: Add Captions Using a Table
To neatly label your images with captions underneath:
Write your story and upload your images using Add Media.
Click the three dots (⋮) on the toolbar and insert a table.
Add as many cells as you need (one per image).
Copy and paste each image into a table cell (dragging won’t work here).
Click an image and choose 33% / 50% / 100% to resize it.
Add your caption directly into the cell under each image.

☝️ Table grid lines are only visible in the editor — they disappear when the story is published.
