Images

  • Paste from the clipboard
  • Drag a file into the editor

Either way the file is copied into your attachments folder and a link is inserted. The image is not embedded in the note — the .md file stays plain text with a reference to a real file on disk.

A note with an inline image displayed at a set width.

Into _img/ beside your notes by default. Change the folder name in Preferences → Editor.

Keeping attachments in a normal folder means they sync, back up and open in other apps like any other file.

Two syntaxes:

![alt text](_img/diagram.png)
![[diagram.png|400]]

The second sets an explicit width in pixels. You can also drag the edge of an image in the editor to resize it — the number in the link updates as you drag. The step size for that drag is configurable in Preferences → Editor.

Click an image to open it full size in its own window, where you can page through every image in the note.

The image preview window showing an image at full size.

The multi-image drop mode setting decides what happens when you drag in more than one file — one per line, or laid out together.

Animate in the editor by default. If they are distracting, turn animate GIFs off in Preferences → Editor and they render as a still first frame.
