Images

Notion makes it easy to add, resize, and arrange images in any configuration or format (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.). You can drag and drop an image into a Notion page, or you can upload an image as a block in your page. To do this:

  1. Click the + that appears in your left margin when you hover over a new line. Choose Image and press enter. Or, type /image and press enter.

  2. Click to upload an image from your computer, embed an image from elsewhere using its URL, or add a stock photo from Unsplash.

Images can also be hyperlinked, so that people can click on them to navigate to the URL of your choice. To add a hyperlink to an image:

  1. Hover over the image and select ••• or ⋮⋮Add link.

  2. Paste a link or select a Notion page as the destination. If you choose a Notion page, a backlink won’t be created.

You can also add images to databases, and display them as a gallery. Learn more about gallery view here →

  1. In a database, add the Files & media property. Clicking that field gives you the option to upload an image from your computer or embed an image from elsewhere.

  2. Drag an image file into a card on a database board, or into a Files & media property cell in a table, or into a gallery.

    • Of course, you can also add an image to the body of any page inside a database using /image or drag-and-drop.

Files

Keep your files in Notion to easily store and share them. At any place on your page, create a file block that will prompt you to Upload a file from your computer or use an Embed link to embed a file on your page like a PDF.

  1. Click the + that appears to the left when you hover over a new line. Choose File and press enter. Or, type /file and press enter.

  2. A menu will pop up giving you the Upload or Embed link options. Select the file you want and click Open.

    • You can also drag files into a Notion page from your desktop or a folder on your computer. Notion will upload and safely store it for future access and download.

You can also add files to databases to associate them with other information. For instance, you're creating a library of assets and you want to add tags and other context to each asset.

  1. Add the Files & media property to your database.

  2. Click on that property (like a cell in that column of a table). You'll be prompted to upload your own file or embed a file from elsewhere.

    • You can also drag and drop files into cells under this property in a table. Or you can drag them into cards on a board or in a gallery. They'll appear in the Files field of the corresponding pages.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Por qué no veo controles de alineación en mi imagen, archivo o bloque de contenido multimedia?

Los controles de alineación se ocultan si el bloque tiene el mismo ancho que el contenido de la página, o si el bloque ya está en su ancho máximo.

¿Hay límites de tamaño para imágenes y archivos?

Si bien puedes subir una cantidad ilimitada de archivos a Notion, existen límites para el tamaño de cada imagen y archivo.

Si estás en el plan gratuito, puedes cargar archivos de hasta 5 MB cada uno. Si estás en un plan pago, puedes cargar archivos de hasta 5 GB cada uno. Si cargas una imagen y te da un mensaje de error que indica que la imagen es demasiado grande para poder mostrarla, puedes intentar cargar la imagen como archivo.
