Field-level catalog tables below stay in English — they match the machine design schema used by the editor, API, and MCP.

Decoration and visibility use [Decoration & visibility (BlockShell)](/en/design/shared-concepts/block-shell).

> Image or inline SVG. Set `alt` for meaningful images (logo, photo). Use `decorative: true` for purely decorative icons so assistive tech gets empty alt / aria-hidden. When neither is set, a localized soft fallback (“Related image”) is used. Raster sources use the normal image pipeline. When `src` is an SVG, the editor stamps element ids into `inlineSvgMarkup` and you can set light/dark fill and stroke per element (`elementPaints`).

## Fields

### `image`

#### `src`

Public CDN URL of the image or SVG file.

```
image: {
  src: "https://cdn.example/logo.svg"
}
```

#### `alt`

Accessible description. Ignored when decorative is true. Prefer a specific label (e.g. site name for logos).

```
image: {
  alt: "Graffen Logo"
}
```

#### `decorative`

When true, forces empty alt (and aria-hidden on inline SVG) so screen readers skip the image.

```
image: {
  decorative: true
}
```

#### `imageSizes`

.

```
image: {
  imageSizes: ""
}
```

#### `imageSlotShare`

.

#### `inlineSvgMarkup`

Stamped full `<svg>` markup used for inline rendering and element coloring. Set automatically when an SVG is chosen; cleared for raster sources.

```
image: {
  inlineSvgMarkup: "<svg …>…</svg>"
}
```

#### `elementPaints`

Per stamped element (`data-svg-canvas-id`) fill/stroke overrides for light and dark themes. Missing keys keep the author SVG colors.

Select one or more elements in the SVG colors panel (Shift/Cmd for multi-select), then set Fill/Stroke. Clearing a color restores the original SVG paint for that side.

```
image: {
  elementPaints: { "path-id": { fillLight: "#111", fillDark: "#eee" } }
}
```

#### `credit`

Optional Unsplash attribution. When set, the public image shows Photo by the photographer name on Unsplash, with links to the photographer and the photo. Images without a credit stay unchanged.

```
image: {
  credit: { photographerName: "Ava Lane", photographerUrl: "https://unsplash.com/@ava", photoUrl: "https://unsplash.com/photos/example" }
}
```
