Images
Add, align, caption, and analyze images in your documents.
FAQ ↓Images in Jenni support drag-and-drop insertion, alignment controls, captions, and direct integration with AI Chat for analysis.
Adding Images
There are four ways to insert an image into a document:
- Drag and drop — Drag an image file from your file manager directly into the editor at the desired position
- Paste — Copy an image to your clipboard and press
Ctrl/Cmd + Vin the editor - Toolbar — Click the image icon in the editor toolbar and select a file from your system
- Slash command — Type
/imageon an empty line and select a file
The image appears inline at the insertion point.
Image Settings
Supported Formats
| Format | Supported |
|---|---|
| PNG | Yes |
| JPEG | Yes |
| WebP | Yes |
The maximum file size is 15 MB per image. Files exceeding this limit are rejected with an error message.
Positioning
Hover over an inserted image to reveal alignment controls. Three options are available:
- Align left — Image floats to the left margin
- Align center — Image centers within the content column (this is the default)
- Align right — Image floats to the right margin
Click the corresponding alignment button to reposition the image. The setting persists across sessions and exports.
Adding Captions
Hover over an image and click Add Caption. A text field appears below the image where you can type your caption.
Captions are plain text. Select text inside a caption to show left, center, and right alignment controls. If you clear a caption entirely, the caption field is removed automatically. Empty captions do not persist.
For numbered captions, open the image’s block menu and choose Show figure labels. Jenni displays a numbered Figure prefix before each image caption and updates the numbers when images move. Click a prefix for Change language (via the citation style dialog) or Hide figure labels. The label follows the document’s citation locale; it is not part of the caption text. To cite a figure in your writing, use Cross-references.
Using Images with AI
Hover over an image and click Ask AI. This attaches the image to the AI Chat panel, where you can ask questions about its content. The AI can describe the image, extract text from screenshots or scans, identify elements in charts and diagrams, and suggest alt text.
The image remains attached to the chat thread until you start a new conversation.
Deleting Images
Two methods:
- Hover and delete — Hover over the image and click the delete button (trash icon)
- Keyboard — Click the image to select it, then press
BackspaceorDelete
Deletion is reversible with Ctrl/Cmd + Z (undo) as long as you have not closed the document.
If an image cannot load, its block remains in the document and shows Error loading image. Select Retry to try loading it again; editors can select Delete if the image is no longer needed. A loading error does not delete the image automatically.
Mobile
On mobile devices, the hover toolbar is replaced by a three-dot menu that appears when you tap the image. The menu provides the same options: alignment, caption, Ask AI, and delete.
