Add an image or image gallery in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro

Add an image gallery

Tap in the toolbar at the bottom of the window, then tap Image Gallery.
Pinch and drag the image gallery to reposition it on the slide, or drag any blue dot to resize it.

- Add an image description that can be used by assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver): Tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, tap Gallery, then tap Description. Enter your text in the text box. The image description isn’t visible anywhere in your presentation.
  To add descriptions to other images in the gallery, tap the left or right arrow below the text box.
  You can also add a title to an image gallery, as well as add captions to individual images or all images. See Add a caption or title to objects in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.

Add an image description

You can add a description to any image in your presentation. Image descriptions are read by assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver) when someone uses that technology to access your presentation. Image descriptions aren’t visible anywhere in your presentation.

Tap the image, tap in the navigation bar at the top of the window, then tap Image.
Tap Description, then enter your text.

If you export your presentation as a PDF, image descriptions are still readable by assistive technology. See Export to PowerPoint, animated GIF, or another file format in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.
