Hi @emiliano there is not an image description in our builder-provided image component, but the good news is that you can add it! [How to override the built-in image component](https://forum.builder.io/t/how-to-override-the-built-in-image-component/1783)

If you register a custom component with the `name: 'Image'` and an input for description, you can override the current image and handle how `<caption>`s or any other attributes/inputs are renderd directly

Let me know if that works for you
