Hello everyone, I’m trying to create a component that allows me to display and edit images like this. Unfortunately, I can’t use a Container because I don’t know how to place two images on the same row. When I try with AI Custom, I can only add an edit icon to the corner of each image, but I can’t attach actions like “Open” on click or edit a different image. I’m still new to Glide Apps, and it seems that most tutorials I’ve found are based on the old interface, which makes it difficult for me to follow along. Hopefully someone here can guide me. Thank you very much! 🙏 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/3/639bdbb0b188aae9b50ea6038b0787daab5cac0f.jpeg) ---

I assume you are not using a Container because a container only really works as expected on a desktop screen. On mobile, the container will still stack everything vertically. - You could stick with a container, but only expect to get the experience you want with a desktop size screen. - If your goal is to get that side by side view on a mobile device, you could explore using a custom collection, but each image would need to be on it’s own row for the collection to show it properly.

You could maybe get away with creating and storing a datauri image, but it won’t be an image file in the traditional sense. ---

Yes, that’s what I’m trying to do now. I know that we cannot manually 1:1 split images with container in the mobile view, it only works with tablet or large screen view. But my question is, why are we able to use AI custom but not the container 🙂 There’s must be a workarounf for this. ---

I dont think I understand.. do you want two containers in a side by side view in a mobile screen? ---

I want to place two images side by side (mobile view) using containers, but I know this is not be possible as Jeff confirmed, I’m just wondering if there is a workaround for this. Maybe I’ll what Jeff suggested. ---

yup, that’s likely the best work around!
