There are a few ways to add images to your notes in Obsidian. ## Drag and drop If you already have image downloaded, open up your file explorer and drag and drop the file to your Obsidian note. Images dragged and dropped into Obsidian are automatically saved within your vault. > [!tip] Set a default folder for images > To keep your vault organized, set a default folder for images in Obsidian: > > Go into Settings > Files & Links. > Find the item *Default location for new attachments* and select *In the folder specified below* from the dropdown menu. > Then, in *Attachment folder path*, enter and select the folder you want attachments to be saved in. > > Doing this separates attachments from text in your Obsidian vault. ## Copy paste You can also copy an image (by right clicking on it from the Finder or wherever you're seeing the image) and pasting it into Obsidian (by right clicking on an empty space on a note and clicking Paste). Depending on where you copied the image *from*, the image might be saved in the Obsidian vault (such as if you used a screenshotting app to copy an image to your clipboard) or it might link to the original image (such as if you're embedding an image from the internet). ## Embed You can embed images from external sources (such as webpages) and internal sources (such as images from your vault). ### External source Here's how to embed an image from an external source without downloading the image:  ### Internal source And here's how to embed an image from your vault: ![[notebook.png]] ## Changing the size When you embed an image from your vault, you can change the image size like this: ```markdown ![[notebook.png|500]] ``` The `|500` sets the size of the image. Here's what that looks like: ![[notebook.png|500]] And here it is when it's set to `50` instead: ![[notebook.png|50]] ## Related - [Working with images](https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Format+your+notes#Images) in Obsidian
