Once you have uploaded the image or media you want in your blog post or WordPress page, you can change a variety of details about the file.
Here are just some of the details and information you can alter about the media you are inserting into WordPress.

- Caption – Here you can add content or a caption under the image or media file. This option varies for most themes.
- Alignment – Change the alignment of your media to left, right or centered in your post or page.
- Size – You can adjust or change the sizing of your media in this field. Some themes will have predetermined sizing set, but your image will always try to retain the proper aspect ratio in most cases.
