# Link cards

> Paste a link to an article, product or event and get a card with its image, title, summary and a button.

A **Link card** shows one web page in your email: its image, title, a short summary, the price for a product, and a button to the page.

## Paste a link

Copy one or more links and paste them into the builder:

* **On the canvas:** click a block, make sure no text field is being edited, and paste. The cards go below the block you selected.
* **In Write mode:** paste into an empty line or after a paragraph.

One link gives one card with the image on top. Several links (up to 10) give a section with one card per link, image on the left. Use [Try another layout](https://docs.instantcampaign.ai/guides/email-and-templates/section-layouts.md) to rearrange the section.

Only a paste that contains nothing but links becomes cards. A sentence with a link in it stays text.

## Add a card from the palette

Drag **Link card** from **Media**, enter the link in **Inspect**, then click **Fill from the page**.

## What the card reads from the page

The builder reads the page's sharing information: its title, description and share image (Open Graph and Twitter tags) and, for a product, the price from its product data. The image is copied into your [file manager](https://docs.instantcampaign.ai/guides/email-and-templates/file-manager.md), so the email keeps working if the other site moves or removes it. If your workspace has a [custom endpoint domain](https://docs.instantcampaign.ai/guides/sending-and-workspace/workspace-settings.md#custom-endpoint-url), the image address uses that domain, as it does for images picked from the file manager.

Every field stays editable in **Inspect**: title, summary, image and alt text, site name, price and button label.

Some sites don't let automated tools read their pages. Many online stores do this. For those, the card shows the site's domain as its title, and you fill in the rest by hand.

## Card styles

| Style | Looks like |
| - | - |
| Image on top | A full-width image with the words below |
| Image left | The image beside the words |
| Compact | The words and button only |

You can also hide the image or the summary and set the card, border, text and button colors. Themes restyle cards like other blocks.

## In the playground

The signed-out playground reads nothing from the internet. Pasted links become cards titled with the domain, and you fill in the rest by hand.
