Have you seen the ‘Duplicate’ option? (When you hover over a block, you get an inline toolbar; at the end there is three dots (‘More Options’) – click on this -> Duplicate.
As an aside, you might also be interested in the ‘Media & Text’ block (if you’re not using that already) – although this aligns image/text vertically-centered. I think it may be a new addition (or at least I only noticed it recently!)

I’ve tried that, the problem is that it only duplicates one of the blocks (and the image + text is two blocks) and that means I have to do formatting again etc.
Media & Text looks good, thank you for the tip. Though I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the size of the image?

Ah yes of course! We need the section block – I think there is one planned, but probably not until after WP 5.0. Then you could put the text and image inside a section and duplicate the whole section.
I think https://atomicblocks.com/ does have a section block if you wanted to go that route.
Re. Media & Text – when I test it I get a blue dot drag-handle to the centre-right of the image and can resize (have to click on the image first)?

Or does not work as I want it anyway.
Well, problem is still there, and then some.
So to get the formatting I need, I need to use the method like:
Create Image-block -> Create Paragraph block -> Click adjust left (or right) and the paragraph pops up to the image.
So far so good.
But two major problems:
1. Can’t change the size of the image
2. Can’t replace the image
And as before, can’t copy it keeping the same formatting.

@jocce – not sure I understand – are you back to using individual blocks rather than the Media/Text block? If so, have you tried putting them inside an Atomic Blocks ‘Container’ block and then duplicating the Container?
I tried both this and using the Media/Text block; the latter is better – I can duplicate and retain the resized image, then resize if I need to. Using the Atomic Blocks Container block does work, although the formatting seems to mess up a bit in the admin panel – it’s not the easiest to use.
Apologies if I’ve misunderstood – perhaps someone else can help out?
