Hello everyone,

when I add images from a remote source it doesn’t fit really well. The images are too big.  
Is there any option to resize the images or select a zoom level?  
Or do you know any CSS hack I can use as a workaround?

I think you have to increase the canvas size in Photoshop or similar tool. Here is another similar thread that might help: [Resizing images in tiles?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/resizing-images-in-tiles/13629)

Hi Deena,

thanks for your idea, but I can’t edit the image locally.  
I create a dynamic image list which is updated regularly. The images are a column inside the google sheet which includes the URL. So I load the images directly from another webserver to the website.

In HTML it would be something like:  
\<img src=“[website.com/ocean.jpg](http://website.com/ocean.jpg)” **width=80% height=80%** \<

Such option in the glide panel would be awesome.

Use Cloudinary.

It is planned to build a daily updated google sheet with about 300 entries and images.  
The images are stored in a column as URL reference to another website.

I can’t download all images from this website and reupload them to Cloudinary or edit them locally.

I need a resize/zoom option or a better crop utility in Glide.

By the way: Happy birthday, Robert! 🥳

You don’t need to download/reupload them! That’s the beauty of Cloudinary! Use the fetch parameter to use the existing URL.
