How to Embed Images in Notes

Add images directly to the Notes of any activity to include visual context alongside your schedule.

Latest Update: 8-5-2026

Planera's Freeform Notes panel supports image embeds. You can insert images from your computer, paste them from your clipboard, or drag and drop them into the editor. Once inserted, images can be resized, opened in a larger view, or deleted. Only users with edit access can add images. Collaborator and commenter users can view images but cannot add or delete them.

  • Supported file types and size limits match those used for canvas images in Planera

  • Images in Notes are saved to the project and will persist across versions
