Add images to a note

Paste, drag or pick images on desktop, attach from Photos on mobile, and view them full screen.

Screenshots, whiteboard photos and diagrams sit inline in the note, right where they belong.

On desktop

Three ways: paste an image from the clipboard, drag a file into the editor, or type / and choose Image to pick a file or paste a URL. The dialog has a File tab and a URL tab, and PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG and BMP all work.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Type / on an empty line and choose Image.
2Drop the file on the dialog or click to pick it. The URL tab takes a link.
3The image sits in the note where the line was.

On mobile

Tap the image button in the collapsed toolbar, or open the attachments group on the toolbar above the keyboard and choose Image, then pick from your photo library.

Step by stepOn mobile
1Tap the image button in the bar at the bottom.
2Or, while typing, open Attachments and choose Image.
3The photo goes into the note where the cursor was.

Viewing

On mobile, tapping an image opens it full screen where you can pinch to zoom, pan, double tap to zoom and swipe down to close.

Ask the AI about it

The chat looks at the images in a note along with the note, so you can ask the AI about an image, like what a whiteboard photo says, without attaching it again.

Where images live

Images are stored in your local library with the note. If sync is on, they travel to your other devices with everything else.
