I had an issue with pasting (it wouldn't let me!) when I updated to Anki version 2.1.57
I deleted all my add-ons one by one and checked each time if I could paste. I only regained the ability to paste when I deleted this add-on!
Just to help you guys so it doesn't happen to you!

I'm using Anki version 2.1.55
ImageResizer works perfectly on scaling images down, but not on scaling images up. Combining it with the maximum images height add-on allows me to work with it. I don't know what's wrong with my Anki, but it's been weird since I updated my OS to Monterey 12.6.2, so it's possible that the issues with the add-on are related to that. I'm really not sure what's going on, but image sizes (and lost ability to expand the window to see what it looks like) are all messed up. I've spent 4 hours trying to troubleshoot and I'm ready to give up.

Doesn't seem to work at all on Anki 2.1.54. The Ctrl-Shift-F shortcut does nothing (I checked the options menu and this is the default) and pasted images don't get resized even though I had it configured to automatically resize them.

Just neede to uninstall and reinstall after upgrading Anki version (collapsed any copy and paste as people stated)

Unable to paste image or text with this add-on enabled on Version 2.1.54

All seems to be working as expected on 2.1.54:
Resize on paste / Resize on paste with hotkey / Pasting plain text content - all good.
Thx.
Resize on paste / Resize on paste with hotkey / Pasting plain text content - all good.
Thx.

You cannot copy and paste text with this add-on with the 2.5+ versions of anki. You do not want this add-on.

Completely broke the copy/paste function as other users have stated; additionally can't open the config menu to fix it myself when I try to open it from the addon window.

Unfortunately, disable upscaling doesn't seem to be working in 2.1.49. That was the main thing I was going to use this for.

Why did you decide to make ctrl + shift + v the default shortcut for pasting the resized images?
It broke the original ctrl+shift+v, which is supposed to paste unformatted text. It took me very long to figure out that this plugin is the reason why that shortcut was broken.
Please change that in the next update, so people don't get confused, why their original shortcuts don't work anymore

This add on broke my shortcut ctrl + shift + v

Great addon! People who complain about the quality are just too incompetent to configure it. You can control the resolution and the quality how you like it in the settings. And it is quite easy and self-explaining. You can define maximum resolutions for width and height and whether you want smoothing. If it's too pixelated and too small just activate smoothing and increase the resolution. Simple.
I ran into a problem and maybe others have it too, here's how to solve it:
The addon didn't work for me after upgrading from Anki 2.1.15 to 2.1.49 on Windows 10. Addon was updated too.

After seaching around in the GitHub bugtracker of the addon I discovered that the addon upgrade doesn't seem to have worked correctly. I disabled the addon and deleted it (without disabling it couldn't be uninstalled, Anki threw another error message). After that I installed it again. Now it works.
I also have the problem that I can't reach the config dialogue of the addon from the addon list in Anki, the addon window doesn't seem to allow it to get the focus. I have to close the window of the addon list first. You can also reach the config from the menu, that works all the time.

after pasting my pictures, their resolution is quite bad so I cannon read certain (important) details).... already tried to change settings in various ways,

Works well and is very useful. I use "smooth resizing" which works well to maintain the quality of smaller images.

The addon breaks the ability to copy and paste text and images with Anki 2.1.50. Please fix it if you can, thank you

I lose resolution on my desktop with this addon, and I have tried changing the settings around but nothing works. Sadly, taking screenshots of images on my phone and adding them to my card while reviewing allows me to have better quality images.

How do I restore my original images?
or can I change the dimensions of the images after creating the cards?

Great addon, just installed it for the first time on Anki 2.1.44 and it's working.

This add-ons works well but with few restrictions like if there is deterioration in quality of image after pasting; THEN copy the image from source and then paste with the shortcut of this add-on, this solves the problem. For those who are having problem even after re-installing, try after restarting the PC, this may work, after installing restart the anki.
Even after doing all stuff the add-on doesn't work then there are ALTERNATIVE add-ons like Image editor and Image style editor.

It works but it butchers the image quality. Tried messing around the settings but nothing helped

It's a great addon. For the people that say it's not working try to delete and reinstall the addon. I had that problem I reinstalled it and now it works. Thanks for the addon

At first the addon didn't work with Anki version 2.1.44. But I tried this: I started Anki holding the shift key and I deinstalled the ImageResizer. After restarting Anki again I re-installed ImageResizer and now everything works perfectly fine.
The addon is perfect :-)

One of the best add ons ever... Until it stopped working with 2.1.44 anki update on mac. Please help!!!!

It doesn't work.

Stopped working recently.

doesn't work, at all!

Messes up image quality (very poor).

This can save me up to 100MB of storage just by resizing images. But is there any options to mass resizing?

Works wonderfully. Thanks

not automatically resize when drag-and-dropping pictiures

A great idea to optimize space/size but...
it disables the CTRL-Shift-V function to copy without format in anki
hope it gets fixed

Shortcut doesnt work

Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on
Must have add-on

doesn't work at all wtf

Does what it is supposed to …
However, the default Shortcut is already taken by Anki and does not work for ImageResizer (at least not for me); I changed it to 'Alt+Shift+Y'.
This is easily pressed with one hand and works fine (again, at least for me).

get an error message when pasting. i love this add on before though!

Broke Anki for me today. Was not able to paste images from lecture into my cards. Had to slowly disable all add ons to narrow it down to this one.

这个扩展会改变原图片的像素/大小,所以会降低图片的清晰度,所以我还是决定选用下面这个

Thanks for this add-on, but I was also wondering if it also supported gifs resizing?

I can not paste while using this add-on. Please fix!

To get rid of the repeated update notifications uninstall the addon and then reinstall it.

good

Very useful. So easy that it feels like built in.

Hoping to see an option to resize without keeping aspect ratio. :D

Notification to update pops up--- every. single. day. No matter how many times I update it, it happens again the next day. I finally got fed up today and attempted to uninstall. I get an error informing me that it can't be uninstalled. I'm no programmer, but I'd say this thing doesn't work correctly. Save yourself a headache and don't install.

good

Anki doesn't allow me to paste anything when using this add-on. Took me some time to figure out that it was this add-on.

Can you please fix it? I can change my rating after. Thanks.

Great

Brilliant add on. Is there a way of resizing gif files?

Works as expected. Very handy!

Awesome!

Works perfectly

This is useful.

Great.

Does the job its designed for. 10/10

Great add-on!

Simple and effective to use!

Amazing!

güzel

very helpful

very useful for viewing on mobile!

Thanks for submitting this. I just took over maintenance of the add-on and I'll look into it!
What operating system is this? What version of Anki are you using? Also, what exactly is the bug you're referring to? Without knowing your settings or what you expected to see, I'm not sure how to help. If you see this and are still interested in a fix, please go to the GitHub and comment on the Issue I've opened up for this.

Great job, thank you so much ! It's fast and easy !!
Would it some possibility to make the image's name "human understeable" ? For instance "word".jpg, from our field...
Thanks again !

I'm happy to hear it's working for you! I just took over maintenance of the add-on because the creator didn't have the time. I'll look into the image naming and see what I can do

Thanks!

Great addon.
Would it be possible though to grab the (new) filename from a field?
Right now it's just a chaotic hash.
Also, ever since Anki 2.1 (and long ago on Droid/iOS) WEBP has been supported, which offers vastly superior compression both lossy over JPEG and lossless over PNG.

very useful app

amazing this is just what i needed, a lot of the images i add to my cards are too large this addon makes it effortless to fix that. Thank you to the developers! Used Anki for the USMLE step1 now i'm studying for step2 keep up the good work guys!

Essential to keep the backup manageable.

thank you very much. Another option is you directly add a folder action ( on Macos) to the media container folder in library, which function is to resize all types of picture when a new picture is added.

Unfortunately, pasting does not work anymore. In former times, it used to work like a charm.
EDIT: uninstalled and reinstalled the addon. working again.
EDIT2: issue reliably reappears after some hours.

EDIT2: issue reliably reappears after some hours.

I have followed all instructions and messed with the settings and cannot get this add-on to do anything. No matter what the settings are, no matter whether I drag an image into the card, paste it in with regular paste shortcut, or with their keyboard shortcut, the images are always still the same. If I'm doing something wrong somehow I would love to change my rating, but since I've gotten this I haven't been able to use it and the images are still huge.

Don't want to downvote this add-on since it might just be a problem I'm having but I can't seem to paste the resized image not matter how many times I hold down Ctrl+Shift+V. I've changed the shortcut keys multiple times and still nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Never mind, solved the problem and it works fine now.

It removes animation from gifs. Can you please develop one where gifs are resized without killing the animation

It works really well. Thanks a lot!

Not good for 4K displays. When I paste a picture, it becomes blurry (smooth resize setting) or pixelated (fast resize setting). However, when I changed my display settings to full HD, it was much less noticeable. But for 4K it turns images blurry at best, illegible at worst.

Cannot use it !

Is it possible to get this to work with GIFs?
Otherwise great add-on
Otherwise great add-on

Works great for big pictures! Although note that you should turn this off when pasting pictures with words in it.

Thanks.

work like a charm!

Thanks

It is very helpful

works, just remember to adjust the settings if you have issues with resolution

Simple and useful

awesome addon - def would like a quicker way to go about changing resizing settings, or at least when I change it, make it so you can hit enter instead of having to click Ok with the mouse. My dream ask is once I paste it in, I can scale it within the answer/ extra box to I can make it work with existing images in the box.

Makes pictures blurry to a point where text is unreadable. It works for pictures without text but it would be great if at least some quality could be retained.

Love this addon. It would be great if you could have a shortcut macro to access the addon easier rather than having to manually click tools-> image resizer

After I install this, when I paste words, it becomes an picture that cannot be edited.

Blurs picture when resized, even if you resize it smaller than the original.

Awesome! Easy to use.

perfect

Flawless and really useful! Would love a conversion to 2.1!

Hope you add it to 2.1.

awesome idea

great

Needs 2.1 :(((((.

This is what i need. Thank you

Could really use this as a 2.1 add-on. o:-)

Very useful, saves me a lot of time. Before, I had to load the image in GIMP, resize it there and copy it back to anki.
Definitely a feature that should be included per default!
Though, not yet perfect. One improvement would be the image quality. Sometimes, the resized or even the normal pictures get quite "JPEG-y" and have compression artefacts.

Do I need a reason? It's obvious why this add-on is awesome! Now I don't have to open paint, resize the imagine I wanna import into Anki, SAVE IT, and then import it.

Quick and easy. Mostly replaced my old setup (Linux - Shutter - Keybindings...)




Easy
Seems to be working great. I only wish that there was a simple way to resize images on old cards. Even a button that would resize all images on a current card would be helpful.

Great tool, it can be better with some improvements
A guy told that he is not able to use with .jpg. Try this: Image Resizer>Grab the shortcut(choose anything, I choose Ctrl+J), then you try with .jpg images. It works here.
As suggestion: It would be nice a function to review all my cards and resize them.
The bad point that I perceive is that we can't go to our saved cards and copy then paste to take the resized image.

Pretty Good
It works fine and is simple... but attention: it doesn't work with .JPG, at least for me (on my win 10)... maybe it's a case for future updating...

Great idea
Have been using this for several months now without any issue whatsoever. Makes it much easier to keep your media collection size at bay when adding external images.

works as expected!
nice stuff! Now my problem is:
when I paste a big picture it seems to reduce the quality. It seems like to me that it makes the picture smaller but it doesn't retain its pixel density. I want to be able to keep the image small, but upon review I can zoom in and out and still read the small text in the picture....
If you have any suggestions that can address my problem above: Fireaway, i'm open for anything... if you feel you can hardcode it. then Hope you can figure that one out on your next drop. Thanks!

Good add-on but…
…it suddenly stopped working for me: Pressing Shift+Ctrl+V doesn't do anything anymore and reinstalling doesn't help. Enabling "Automatically resize when pasting" didn't do the trick either – the image is inserted at its full size when I press Ctrl+V. No idea what's going on here…
Before that it used to work well, though, except for the fact that it doesn't work with transparent images (pngs I think) and automatically sets their background to black (instead of white – which is what I'd expect).

Great add-on
This add-on does exactly what it says. Anki should do this (resize/scale images) by default, like the mobile app does, but it doesn't. I use Anki to study pathology so I prefer so set it to scale to a height so then all my images show up side by side at the same height and it all fits on the screen without having to scroll.
