## IMAGES

I’d like to be able to set **fixed sizes for images** and see its **actual measurements/dimensions** , so I’m not guessing if my images are of the same height.

Use case:

- layout consistency for book review entries with different-sized covers
- placing images side by side on different columns

Mobile image quality inside a canvas also needs improvements:

- transparent images have shadows, creating this dark border that kills the point of being a transparent image
- small images are enlarged to fit width, causing these images to look pixelated and front-center when it’s only meant to be decorative (example is a small sticker placed in one column or as a content divider)

> I didn’t post under Bugs because it looks like intended behavior, but please fix. Thanks! WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Do not fit to screen (or zoom to fit) small images in mobile. The current behavior is, if the image is smaller than the screen’s width, it’s enlarged to force it to fit the screen. This results in pixelated/low-quality-looking images. Also, this isn’t the behavior in desktop. Small images are displayed in their original sizes. HOW COULD IT BE …

Other suggestions:

- a **basic image editor** to crop images in-app
- an **image library** to reuse images (like in page covers)

## CAPTIONS

Relations or not, I think captions are needed for a good editing experience.
