How to Resize Images on Notion's iPad App
Notion is a powerful all-in-one productivity app that lets you organize your tasks, notes, and projects. Among its many features is the ability to insert images into your documents. Sometimes you may need to adjust an image’s size for the perfect layout, and the Notion iPad app offers intuitive ways to do so with improved controls and enhanced responsiveness.
Step 1: Open the Notion App
Open the Notion app on your iPad and navigate to the page where you want to resize an image. If you haven’t installed the app yet, you can download it from the App Store.
Step 2: Locate the Image
Find the image you want to resize in your document. You can either insert a new image using the image block or work with an image that is already present.
Step 3: Select the Image
Tap on the image to select it. Once selected, the image is highlighted and additional image settings become accessible.
Step 4: Access the Image Adjustment Options
In recent updates of the Notion iPad app, you can adjust the image size using one of two methods:
- Drag Handles or Pinch-to-Zoom:
When the image is selected, blue handles appear around it. Drag these handles to resize the image, or use a two-finger pinch gesture directly on the image to adjust its width and height intuitively.
- More Options Menu:
For a more precise adjustment, tap the "..." icon to open additional settings. In the menu that appears, look for the "Resize" option (often represented by an icon showing arrows pointing inward/outward). Selecting this option brings up a slider to fine-tune the image dimensions.
Step 5: Adjust the Image Size
- Interactive Resizing:
Use the pinch-to-zoom gesture or drag the blue handles for an intuitive, real-time adjustment of the image size.
- Slider Method:
If you selected the "Resize" option from the "..." menu, a slider appears. Move the slider left or right to respectively decrease or increase the image size as needed.
As you adjust the image, a live preview shows how it appears in your document. These controls are designed to let you work quickly while preserving the image’s aspect ratio.
Step 6: Confirm and Save
Once you are satisfied with the new dimensions, tap the "Done" button (if using the slider) or simply tap outside the image. Notion then automatically updates the image display to match your adjustments.
Important Note
Resizing an image in the Notion iPad app only affects its appearance within your document—the original image file remains unchanged. To permanently alter the dimensions of the image file, use a dedicated image editing app or software before inserting it into Notion.
With these simple steps, you can easily resize images on Notion’s iPad app to create a layout that meets your design needs. Enjoy creating more visually appealing and organized documents with Notion.
