Image Manager

Image Manager allows you to quickly drag and drop image files, insert images with a command, or paste images directly from your clipboard. It unifies functionality from multiple image-related plugins into one cohesive experience.

Features

Local file picker — select images from your computer using the OS native file explorer.
Remote image search — search and download images from Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay with filters for orientation, size, and more.
Paste and drop — paste images from clipboard or drag and drop files directly into notes.
Automatic rename dialog — prompt to rename images when pasted or inserted, with descriptive image naming in kebab-case.
Template-based naming — customize image names using template variables ({{fileName}}, {{dirName}}, {{DATE}}, {{TIME}}, etc.).
Smart deduplication — automatically handles duplicate filenames with intelligent numbering.
Insert size — optionally set a default image size when inserting (e.g., 200 for width or 200x100 for width and height).

Property Integration

Paste into properties — paste images directly into properties with a single action.
Multiple link formats — choose from Obsidian default, path, relative path, wikilink, Markdown link, or custom format.
Default property names — configure which property to use for images (default: banner) and icons (default: icon).
Alt text property — optionally set a property name for image alt text/descriptions.
MDX support — full compatibility with MDX files in addition to standard Markdown.
Referral text — optionally insert attribution text and backlinks for remote images.
