Simple Image Resize

A Joplin plugin that provides a simple dialogue to switch image syntax between markdown/html and losslessly resize images by adjusting the width/height attributes.

How to use

In the markdown editor, right-click anywhere inside a markdown or HTML image embed and select "Resize Image" (or put your cursor inside the image embed and use the keyboard shortcut).

This will open a simple image resize dialogue, the following options are provided.

Switch image syntax

You can switch the image syntax between markdown (![alt text](:/resourceId)) and HTML (<img src=":/resourceId" alt="alt text" width="315" height="238" />).

External URLs are also supported (![alt text](https://example.com/image.png) and <img src="https://example.com/image.png" alt="alt text" width="315" height="238 />).

HTML Syntax is selected by default (and resizing is only supported using HTML syntax). You can switch to markdown syntax if you want to revert the image to a standard markdown image embed without a custom size.

Resize Image

With image syntax set to HTML, you can resize the image by Percentage (default) or Absolute size.

Enter the desired image size (in percentage or pixels) and click OK, and the plugin will automatically update the image embed with the new image syntax.

[!note] The resized image will only include the width attribute (Joplin's markdown viewer, Rich text editor, and Rich markdown plugin ignore the height and always use auto-calculated height).

Quick Resize

You can quickly resize images to 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% (original size) using keyboard shortcuts or the right-click context menu.
