Ability to resize images on modern pages
I'd like to be able to resize an image directly from the modern pages image webpart. This is really annoying that the pages are so easy to create but that you can't control the image size on the page.

While we’ve added the ability to crop images and display specific aspect ratios (by clicking on the image); however, the column size (1/3, 1/2, 2/3, etc.) the page author has selected decides the size of all the web parts in that section.
We are looking at ways to make this more flexible for images, without making it odd for other web parts, but haven’t finalized our approach yet.

Please also include the source of the image. Short of looking at the page source code, there's no way to know the file name or where the image is stored in the Document Library.

Do you have any updates? Changing image sizes is a simple feature that should have been implemented right at the beginning. Why hasn't this been done yet. Sharepoint is a good system but lacks the simplest things, such as image resizing.

Yes yes yes. You are not working on it. If you were it would be there. It is a basic HTML feature. Just ran into it again, need a smaller picture to be scaled up to same size as a somewhat bigger one. AND yes I am able to resample it in a bigger size, but it takes time and it was supposed to be easy. And not all my colleagues can easily do that........ Anyway just say you wil do it or not, it just looks stupid to have it outstandig for years :-)

Scaling images is not something a typical end user understands, or has the software to achieve. Adding images to a SharePoint page is fundamental. Please add this very basic feature.

currently have to open photoshop and resize images every time I create a page. Can't expect our end-users to do the same, this needs to be added ASAP.

Really frustrating as such a basic ask takes so long to deliver by the User Experience team from MS. While spending tons of hours with additional features, they should fix basic first to give consistent experience.

This is a major bone of contention for me and the Modern design. I am still looking for the answer myself.

if I apply a filter based on any tag, the returned thumbnail list is limited to 5-6 object (1 browser row).
How can I deal with this if I have hundreds of photo to preview?
the "other" link is not practical... -

When will this be available, the image re-sizing is really lacking in SharePoint online compared to SharePoint 2013. And this is a real complaint from end-users.

While waiting on any update in relation to MS Office client app style resizing of images within the modern page experience. I recommend that people use images (ok I'm talking about photographs mainly that have been taken on mobile phones by non-Photographers) that have been captured in landscape mode (or 16:9 aspect ratio). These images seem to work well on the SharePoint pages.

Any update on this?
What team is working on it? I assume its the User Experiences team? There have been some nice developments/enhancements with a WOW factor and that demonstrate well (in short presentations) and I welcome these..
however the Page creation experience , in particular when it comes to images, for end users needs some attention.

the other peculiar thing I've noticed is that the page editor seems to enlarge the images. This is NOT a good experience. For example I took some screenshots from the mobile app , uploaded to SP , with the intention of creating an article to demonstrate/explain/introduce the mobile app. The screenshot doesn't even fit on a single screen within the web browser. So I've to scroll to see the entire screenshot. I get that SharePoint is supposed to be responsive .. i.e. it will scale the image down so it displays on a mobile device.. however , the experience when viewing the page in the web browser on a laptop is not an expected one.. Why doesn't the image on the laptop display on the one screen without my having to scroll? Am I don't something wrong?
