The Image block shows one picture, with an optional caption under it. It can open the picture full screen or link it to another page. You find it in the block picker under Common, or under Media when blocks you use more often fill Common. It goes in a Section or a Post Content section, or inside a Group, a Gallery, a Collection, a No Results or a Paywall.
To show each post's own picture, use the Featured Image block instead, described in Data blocks. For several pictures in a grid, use a Gallery.
General
Setting
What it does
Image
The picture. The Add image button opens a menu: Open media library, Upload, Search Unsplash or Insert from URL. Add images and photos covers each source, alt text and the size limits.
Click behavior
What happens when a visitor clicks the picture. None (the default) does nothing. Open lightbox opens it full screen over the page, even when Lightbox is off in Project settings › Features. Custom URL makes it a link. Inside a Gallery, the default is Use gallery setting, which follows the Gallery's own Click behavior.
Link URL
Shows when Click behavior is Custom URL. The page the picture opens, such as https://example.com/about or /about/. A link that starts with http, even one to your own site, opens in a new tab. Use /about/ to stay in the same tab. The caption is not part of the link.
Caption
A line of text under the picture, with bold, italic and links. A photo from Unsplash puts its credit here.

Height

The Layout group's + menu also adds Width.
An Image with no picture
An Image block with no picture shows a gray box, 16:9 unless you set another ratio. It shows on your Ghost site too, so remove the block or add a picture before you publish.
