Photos in entries

Drag one in, paste it, or use /image. Up to 20 MB each, with captions and reordering.

Three ways to get a photo onto a page:

  • Drag it from Finder or your desktop straight into the entry.
  • Paste it — copy an image anywhere and press ⌘V.
  • Type /image and pick a file.

Each image can be up to 20 MB. Larger ones are compressed on your device before they’re uploaded, so a photo straight off a modern phone is fine.

Once it’s on the page

Click a photo and a menu opens: change its size, add a caption or alt text, or remove it.

Photos are objects rather than text, so a click opens that menu rather than putting a cursor into it. Drag one to move it somewhere else in the entry — a line shows where it’ll land.

Offline

Add photos on a plane if you like. They’re held on your device and uploaded when you’re back online, retrying by themselves. The entry is readable the whole time.

If a photo seems stuck, see photos not uploading.

Photos are in your backup

When you download a backup, the image files come with it — not links to images, the actual files. Your journal doesn’t become a set of broken picture icons if you ever stop using Dayspring.
