# Images Panel
> Upload, manage, and insert images into your document from the sidebar panel.
The **Images** panel () lets you upload, generate, and browse images for your document. It has three tabs: **My Images**, **AI Gen**, and **Stock**.
***
## My Images
This tab shows all images uploaded to the current document. At the top is a drop zone where you can **click or drag & drop** files to upload.
**Upload limits:**
| Constraint | Value |
| ------------------------ | -------------------- |
| **Formats** | PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP |
| **Max file size** | 25 MB |
| **Max files per upload** | 5 |
### Inserting images into your document
There are two ways to insert an uploaded image:
1. **Copy markdown** — hover over an image and click the **Copy** button. This copies the full markdown syntax to your clipboard, ready to paste into the editor.
2. **Drag & drop** — drag an image directly from the panel into the editor. The markdown syntax is inserted automatically at the drop position.
When hovering over an image, two buttons appear:
* **Copy** — copies the markdown image syntax (e.g., ``)
* **Delete** — permanently removes the image from the document
### Markdown image syntax
Images use standard Markdown syntax:
```markdown theme={null}
```
The text inside the square brackets becomes the **figure caption**. Captions are auto-numbered (e.g., *Figure 1: Caption text*).
If the square brackets are empty (``), **no caption** is generated for the image.
You can customize caption appearance (prefix, font size, font style, alignment) or disable captions entirely in the [Styles panel](/getting-started/editor/sidebar-styles#figure-captions).
For the full image syntax reference including sizing, alignment, anchors, and the image directive, see [Markup Reference → Images](/markup-reference/images).

## AI Gen
Generate images using AI directly from the sidebar. Enter a prompt, choose an aspect ratio, and optionally specify a style.
**Options:**
| Setting | Values |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Aspect Ratio** | 1:1 (Square), 16:9 (Wide), 9:16 (Tall), 4:3 (Standard), 3:4 (Portrait) |
| **Style** | Optional — e.g., `cartoon`, `photorealistic`, `watercolor` |
Generated images are automatically added to your **My Images** library and can be inserted into the document the same way as uploaded images.
AI image generation consumes credits from your plan. The credit cost per image is displayed below the generate button.
***
## Stock
Search for free high-quality photos powered by **Unsplash**. Enter a search term and browse the results.
Stock images can be inserted via **drag & drop** or by clicking the **Copy** button (copies the markdown with the public Unsplash URL). An button opens the full-resolution image in a new tab.
Photographer credits are shown on hover at the bottom of each image.
