(Archived) Images added to notes are so big

[lwoo 0]

I'm dragging and dropping images into notes and when I open the note, the image is so huge. Is there a way to set size so it is viewable? Thank you.

It would be really useful if there was a setting to store images at a different size. I want to take shots with my iPhone, but the images are bigger than I need.

This would be useful. I take shots of stuff (wine bottle labels for example) but the images are a lot bigger than I need. Would rather not then have to change them.

Gordon,

Isn't there a setting on your iPhone for image size? If you know you're going to be uploading to Evernote, couldn't you pick a smaller size before taking the pic? I know on my Android phone, I can pick different sizes (640,1MB,3MB,etc)

You could also email the photo to your EN account from your phone. I'd suggest this only because a lot of phones (including iOS) prompt before you email an image from your library with a size request, allowing you to keep your original image size intact.

You can use the image editor of your choice to resize the image before adding it to EN. Or you can double click on the image in the EN note to invoke the default image editor & resize it.

Stupid me ..... just realized why such a seemingly great software would lack this apparently obvious functionality. Evernote gets paid by storage volume. So, even if we don't like these large photos, they love them because it gets us closer to premium status.

On the one hand .... I kind of get it. They need to make money.

On the other hand ..... this is kind of sleezy. It would be like Picasa web albums making you upload full resolution images. Or iTunes match making you upload songs in WAV quality. And then in both cases .... sticking you with something so large [ or high quality according to them ] that they are unusable.

Nobody would feel good about that .... they would look for alternatives as soon as they hit their cap. That's what I'll do. Switching cost for a pain for poor functionality is too high right now. But switching cost for a subscription when I don't want to store most of the megabytes on their servers will be another story.

I bought EverClipper. It lets you edit the compression and clip the image. Much better for evernote.

I have the same problem I just attached a photo and it is too large. Now I am trying to determine how to delete the photo without deleting the entire note.

Yes, this is my problem too. I don't use external tools to set the size of image in EN, sometimes I couldn't find these tools. It will be better if there is a setting for images in EN. I hope EN team can provide this tool for images setting in the future.

I agree ..... evernote should just have the same dialog as the 'mail' app on the iphone when adding a note. Choose your resolution.

The images added are *very* unwieldy. They make a note pretty much unreadable. This may not be a huge deal for alot of products, but for one which touts its ease of use for capturing thoughts and media, it is not good.

It is a shame that the iphone does not have that android feature. But, one would think that evernote would develop an alternate solution for the #1 handset out there (handset, not os android folks).

I won't open in other editors, mail images to myself, etc.. At this point, I'll just take images to my camera roll, open in photostream, and use something on my desktop to create notes.

checked out some other apps that help. Tap2Ever gives you this functionality on the iphone while staying in an evernote based workflow. There is a free (sponsored) version.

Not a perfect workflow, but pretty good.
