Need help embedding images in my notes

Képkivágás
I’m trying to add small images (if possible circular) next to the names listed here, I am very new to Obsidian I don’t even know if it’s possible. Any advice?

took some pic off of the net …

syntax is:

  • ![|18](https://swimmingwaikato.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/168-1686984_olympic-rings-png-free-download-olympic-rings-no.jpg) or
  • ![imagename|25](https://swimmingwaikato.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/168-1686984_olympic-rings-png-free-download-olympic-rings-no.jpg)
    • change url or local image path and width of pic

to make the pic round, you’ll need css or possibly to mask the image with e.g. excalidraw…css should be enough… there may even be info on this on the forum (search it if you will)

Thank you!
How about if I try to insert an image that I have saved on my computer? If the original image gets deleted, it will be gone from my note as well right?

the embed syntax ![imagename_if_needed|width_if_needed](path_to_image/image.jpg) you can use for locally saved images as well

obsidian also supports wikilink embed syntax for non-markdown files as well:
e.g. ![[path_to_image/image.png|width_if_needed]]

  • i recommend sticking to the markdown format used above – []() – to maintain consistency and being able to see images outside of obsidian app as well

the ! character is for embed (making your images visible in live preview and reading mode)

first you need to decide where to locally store your attachments:

there are some external plugins you can install to automatize converting the images to locally stored images
look around for local images plus or plus plus??
there might be others

p.s.
i renamed the question to better reflect thread content

Thank you so much for the help!
