Image Properties – Captions & Accent colors

Once you have uploaded images, Pixpa enables you to specify the image-specific information like keywords.

The image properties section allows you to edit Image filename, Image accent color (used in some theme templates), Image captions/titles, Image description, and Image keywords. 

This way, you can specify any textual information for each of your images.

As you specify these for your images, you can choose to show them in lightbox mode against your images (fullscreen mode). The captions can be shown on the right side or bottom of the images.
