The Image widget allows you to easily add images to widget areas in your theme. It’s an easy way to add some visual interest to your site.
Previous versions of Jetpack called the widget “Image (Jetpack)”. If you had earlier Jetpack Image widgets, they were automatically converted to use the built-in Image widget.
To set it up:
- Go to Appearance -> Widgets in your WordPress Dashboard.
- Select Image widget into one of your active sidebars.
- Click on Add Image.
- You can Upload, Select an image from your library, or Insert from URL.

If you choose to insert a URL, you’ll need to ensure the URL is only an image for it to load properly. This typically means it ends in
.jpg
or.png
.
