Whether you want to include photos, graphics, or screenshots, Notion allows you to seamlessly incorporate images into your Workspace. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of Adding images to Notion.

Uploading Images

To begin, you need to upload the image you want to include in your Notion page. Notion supports various image formats, including PNG, JPG, and GIF. Here's how you can upload an image:

1. Open the Notion page where you want to add the image.
2. Place your cursor where you want the image to appear.
3. Click on the "+" button in the toolbar at the top of the page.
4. From the drop-down menu, select "Image."
5. A file picker dialog will appear. Click on "Upload" or "Choose a file" to select the image from your device.
6. Once you've chosen the image, it will be uploaded to Notion, and a thumbnail preview will be displayed.

Inline Images

Inline images are images embedded within the text content of a Notion page. They seamlessly blend in with your text and make it easy for readers to understand the context. Here's how to add an inline image in Notion:

1. After uploading the image, simply drag and drop it into the desired location within your text content.
2. Alternatively, you can click on the image thumbnail in the sidebar and drag and drop it into the page.
3. Resize the image by clicking and dragging the handles that appear on the corners.

Full-Page Images

If you want an image to span across the entire width of your page, you can insert a full-page image in Notion. This is particularly helpful when you want to use an image as a cover or a banner for your page. To add a full-page image:

1. Upload the image using the steps mentioned earlier.
2. After uploading, simply drag and drop the image onto the page.
3. You will notice that the image automatically expands to cover the entire page width.
4. Resize the image by clicking and dragging the handles or the borders of the image.

Image gallery

Notion allows you to display multiple images together in an Image gallery format. This is perfect when you want to showcase a collection of photos or create a visual portfolio. To create an Image gallery in Notion:

1. Upload all the images you want to include in the gallery.
2. Place your cursor where you want the gallery to appear.
3. Click on the "+" button in the toolbar and select "Gallery."
4. A gallery block will appear on the page.
5. Drag and drop the image thumbnails from the sidebar onto the gallery block.
6. Rearrange the order of the images within the gallery by dragging and dropping them.

Image Resize and Alignment

Notion provides simple tools to resize and align images to enhance the visual presentation of your content. Here's how you can resize and align images in Notion:

Resizing Images:

• Click on the image to select it.
• Click and drag the handles that appear on the corners to adjust the size.
• Hold the Shift key while dragging the handles to maintain the aspect ratio while resizing.
• Alternatively, you can specify the dimensions of the image by right-clicking on it and selecting "Resize."
