What I’m trying to do

So what I am trying to do is that I want my image displayed as it is in the editor portion rather than it’s name popping up and then me having to click on it.

Things I have tried

1. I have tried using a couple plugins but nothign worked.
2. I have tried changing the syntax on my own but that isn’t working as well.

This is what i am being talking about, once i add an image to my file it shows like this-

But i want it to be displayed like this -

Please give me some suggestions

Embed the picture with ![[IMG_3496.heic]]. However, you need to convert it to a file format supported by Obsidian, see Accepted file formats - Obsidian Help.

As I understand it, HEIC format is not supported by the underlying infrastructure of Obsidian (Chromium), so according to this post, it will most likely never be supported.

.HEIC Image Format Support

Like many others, I use an iPhone and the default image format is HEIC rather than jpg. I think it would be very valuable to have support for embedding HEIC files. As things currently sit, obsidian doesn’t even recognize the files when navigating to their location in the foder view, they don’t even show up.

as @stef.rausch mentions, you will have to convert before you transclude it.

Image Converter plugin can convert HEIC files into more user friendly format: JPG, PNG, WEBP, so then it can rendered/previewed by Obsidian
