Canvas: Setting an Image's Focal Point

Learn how to set the focal point of an image so it will display the important part of the image on various devices with varying resolutions. 

We have all seen it: an image of a people but we can't see anything above their necks. When we add an image of a person or people, we generally want to see their faces. While we cannot test how an image will display on all devices, we can help ensure the part of the image we wish to display, displays on various devices.

To set an image's focal point, navigate to your media library.
