6. Now that you have it on your page you can edit its size by pinching and moving its margins.

7. When clicking said image to resize, a tool bar will appear at the bottom that also helps with repositioning and condensing the image.

On the left hand side of the tool bar, underneath the purple arrow, are 3 options of realignment. 
Left, Center, and Right. 

On the right hand side, underneath the blue arrow, are two different methods of resizing. 

The first gives you a selection of sizes from which you can choose from. Ranging from small to extra large.

The second option which is the tool icon does the exact same as well as add 2 other textual features that will be discussed in a future post. If for some reason the first isn't working for you, luckily there's a second!
