> Image — an `<img>` block. Paste or drop image files, or choose them from "/image".

Image (F-37) — an `<img>` block. Paste or drop image files, or choose them from "/image". Uploads go through the host's `upload(file) → Promise<url>` editor option; without one the image is kept as a data URL, so it works with no setup. Markdown: `![alt](src)`.

```js
import image from 'verbal-editor/blocks/image';
```
