Setting image width by value

Bear feedback Feature Request
1

Hi! I have a simple feature request which I believe would benefit users while fitting with Bear’s minimalist approach to note taking. Namely, the ability to set image width to an exact value in a user-friendly manner. The reason being that I’d like all my images to be displayed with the exact same width, regardless of their original resolution.

Currently, after adding an image to a note, I must first resize the image, then surround it with backticks to convert it into a codeblock - this transforms the image into code like ![](equation.png)<!-- {"width":562} -->. After adjusting the width value (which can only be done after initially resizing the image or manually adding the width property), I need to remove the backticks to convert it back into an image.

A simple right click > set image size option would be a much easier approach. Thanks for hearing me out! :slight_smile:

Hey there!

While it’s unlikely we’ll add this feature (it’s a bit too niche), we have added image size snapping inside the editor. When you resize an image, it will “snap” to match the width of other images in the note, like a magnetic alignment. On iOS, you’ll even get a bit of haptic feedback when it happens.

So, if your images are in the same note, it should be super easy to make them the same size :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ll attach a quick video to show how it works. It’s a bit subtle, but you should be able to catch the snap when the image widths align.
