Description from extension meta

Get rid of that nasty horizontal scrolling, with inline images fitting Gmail's message area.

Image from store Gmail Inline Image Fit
Description from store [[ Abandoned project / open to contributions ]] There has been ages that I don't work in companies that send nasty emails which need fixing by this extension, and thus I stopped following the Gmail changes. Every now and then, someone sends an email with an issue, which unfortunately I don't have the time or will to fix. However, I'm still open to Pull Requests in the project's GitHub repo, so feel free to collaborate! [[ Description ]] Ever complained about the horizontal scrolling that large images create on Gmail messages? Like those screenshots your client sent you, or a fancy signature that's cool for their widescreen monitors, but not for your windowed view? This is a small extension that adds a slight rule so inline images will always fit in the message body. No need to keep scrolling back and forth to read any paragraph. Gmail already provides a lightbox with an enlarged view of pictures, so you can use it as usual to view the complete image :)

  • (2023-08-10) Brian Tibbels: Brilliant extension which addresses an age old problem.
  • (2023-07-30) Erik Schluntz: You sir are a hero. Still works for me on windows
  • (2023-06-30) Bart: Works fine, but an annoying side effect is that it makes emojis comically large. If I communicated with frequent emoji users I'd likely remove the extension, as I don't receive enough messages with oversized inline images to make it worth dealing with 40mm wide emojis.
  • (2023-02-09) Music Lab Folsom: Just WOW! This has been plaguing me for years. So nice to be able to read all the text. Thank you!
  • (2023-02-01) J H: Sadly doesn't work. My colleague on a MAC/Chrome does not have this same issue looking at the same email with large images; her desktop shrinks the images automatically. I was hoping this would fix the issue for my on a PC.
  • (2023-01-06) Reed Albergotti: Doesn't do anything
  • (2022-12-01) Igor Kozarchuk: It works! Can't believe this issue exists for years without native fix by Google.
  • (2022-10-21) Dan Harper: Used to work phenomenally, was one of my best add-ons, now it doesn't work at all.
  • (2022-09-30) Jesper Bevensee Jensen: Used to work - now it doesn't. Absolutely HATE(!) Google for not just fixing this stupid issue. "Dear" Google, why are you so arrogant?
  • (2022-05-31) Jeff P: Tried this. It did not work.
  • (2022-05-17) David B: Completely useless, has no effect whatsoever.
  • (2022-05-11) Luis Salas Lastra: Godammit! THANK YOU!!!!!! I work with LARGE images ALL the time (freelance artist) and this was driving me nuts!. I looked for months and months probably years, and didn't find a solution until today. I'm in a windows 10 pc by the way.
  • (2022-05-05) Brion Keagle: As far as I can tell, this extension does absolutely nothing. I'm still scrolling side to side like crazy, just as much as I did before installing the extension.
  • (2022-04-25) Philip Goetz: Thank you, Igor, for this very helpful little extension. It has stopped working now, otherwise I'd leave 5 stars. I appreciated it while it lasted.
  • (2022-02-18) Nicolas Compain: Merci !!! Quel soulagement :)
  • (2022-02-17) Kaleb Rabe: Doesn't do what it's supposed to, so I still have to scroll horizontally for large images in Gmail.
  • (2022-01-20) Karl Hammerschmidt: Amazing extension. Should be default in Gmail. Only one issue which has forced me to disable it... it makes emojis HUGE. Link to Reddit discussion here. Please let us know when this bug has been fixed
  • (2021-12-28) FLCPCA SPIEL: You're telling me all this time, all I needed was this extension? Why doesn't Google include this natively???
  • (2021-12-16) Carson Stark: Doesn't work
  • (2021-12-16) Felipe Van Cauwelaert: simple y util
  • (2021-10-29) AxioWorks Ltd: A must have! Works perfectly, thank you.
  • (2021-10-13) Dario Ciprut: Excellent. Long irritation in front of mails imbedding overdimensioned images solved. Works under Brave and probably other chromium based browsers.
  • (2021-09-29) Mark DeJesus: Relief! Thank you so much. This should be included in gmail. Makes a big difference in reading through longer emails and ones that have attachments.
  • (2021-09-13) Tom H: For the love of god why is this not already a part of Gmail? Using the side panel for previews is such a pain because if the image is larger than the panel you have to scroll over to find the reply button. This makes the images dynamic and shrinks them to fit. Simple and easy. Thank you!
  • (2021-05-27) Pol Rue: It worked on some images, but not on all...
  • (2021-05-13) Ed Rooney: This extension should be removed as it does not work.
  • (2021-04-08) Aleksey Voznesenski: Awesome! it works, even in vivaldi! how is this still not normal behaviour in gmail is beyond me.. it's been many many years..
  • (2021-03-30) Callan Crawford: Not working at all
  • (2021-03-05) Jonathan Aplansius: Not working at all
  • (2021-01-22) Jeremy Yocum: This extension does nothing. At all. It has no effect at all. What it's supposed to do would be AMAZING! It's something I desperately, desperately need. But this extension does not do it. In fact it does nothing at all.
  • (2020-12-02) Don Schmitt: No longer working :-(
  • (2020-11-13) Adam Frey: I need an extension that does what this one says it will do, but I installed it in my new MacBook Air and it didn't have any effect. I still have to scroll very far left and right to read some emails in gmail.
  • (2020-10-20) Eric Seastrand: Exactly what I was looking for. Appalled I have to install an extension (C'mon Gmail, why isn't this built in?) but I'm happy this extension exists. Thank you for making it!
  • (2020-09-06) Jay Cack: Extension not working. Here's a solution that works for me: Install Stylus: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne?hl=en Use this style rule on domain mail.google.com .h7 img { max-width: 95%; height: auto; object-fit: contain; }
  • (2020-09-02) Eric Peltzer: Works well in Edge (Sept 2020). However when printing a message, the photo is still way too large. At any rate, a big relief, though it's astonishing Gmail still can't handle inline photos intelligently in 2020. Thank you dev.
  • (2020-08-26) Josh Goldberg: no longer works.
  • (2020-08-11) Kyle Drayton: Can't believe this isn't implemented in GMail. Works perfectly, thanks!
  • (2020-07-04) Ari: makes the show details arrow in gmail vanish
  • (2020-07-01) Dmitry Astapkovich: I love this extension ... except it seems like it doesn't work any longer =( Did Google change something on the end you need to support?
  • (2020-02-10) Natalie Keller Lysne: Thank you. I no longer feel the need to strangle senders of giant images.
  • (2020-02-04) Austin Allgaier: The extension is awesome with one exception: It hides the little down arrow that is found in the header of each email. So i can choose between seeing images without side scrolling or zooming way out; or i can see the details of the sender of an email (which, unfortunately, I need to do constantly for my job.) Once that bug is worked out, then its 5 stars.
  • (2020-01-21) Valerie Deane: This extension was awesome when it worked (seriously, why doesn't Gmail do this? I hate side-scrolling!), but within the past couple months, it no longer does. In fact, it's even worse than that - ever since it stopped working, it does the opposite, and causes many images to appear larger! Left a support note four weeks ago, but it seems the developer is AWOL. I'm removing it.
  • (2019-12-17) Doug Davis: This worked perfectly!!! Thank you! Most of the time, images people send fit within the Gmail window, but every so often, I get photos that are just ginormous, and I have to scroll right and left to see it all, or I do a CTRL/CMD - Minus to make *everything* smaller till I can see the whole picture, and then have to make everything the right size again, after. This extension works a treat! I like that I can use it "on demand" and only invoke it when I click on the extension.
  • (2019-10-29) Raymon Ohmori: How is this not the Gmail default? I was about to pull my hair out trying to read emails from my client. This extension is a lifesaver.
  • (2019-10-07) Rom Po: Works! Time saver! Productivity booster! Horizontal-scroll destroyer!
  • (2019-10-03) Marian Sasso: This just works exactly as it is supposed to without doing other crazy things. THANK YOU.
  • (2019-09-18) Luke Talltree: Hallelujah!!!
  • (2019-09-05) Kyle Hall: Says what it does and does what it says. perfect.
  • (2019-08-14) Mandy Krug: Works with the preview pane. Most excellent.
  • (2019-08-03) Andrey Perevodchik: It does the job! However it also affects other images – application icons and image in message editor, making it impossible to resize image when composing a message. Looking forward for the next version!

  • (2022-06-11, v:1.0.1) Campbell Cleland: Missing - Show Details Triangle
    Great extension and I agree it should be part of Gmail by default! However, it seems to have the side effect of removing the "show detail triangle" next to the email recipients. Not sure if this is intended or accidental, but I use the triangle a lot, so cannot live without it. The triangle gives access to fields such as the below; from to date subject mailed-by signed-by security
  • (2022-06-09, v:1.0.1) Johnny Nobody: Just stopped working

    Downloaded the extension but it did not change the gmail to wrap the text to make it visible on one screen.
  • (2021-04-30, v:1.0.1) Maxwell Auger: Removes arrow for email address details in Gmail.
    Not only is this extension not working properly, it removes the dropdown arrow in Gmail that allows you to retrieve email address details. Can this be fixed?
  • (2021-03-16, v:1.0.1) Bruno Ferreira: Gmail Details button now a point.
    Hi, This is great, but all of a sudden now when I use the extension, the "show details" downward arrow to reveal the email details of the sender/receiver has turned into a point. I had to stop using this extension because of that. Any ideas?
  • (2021-02-08, v:1.0.1) Doc Delete: Not working any more
    I've been using this great extension for some years now - but it's recently stopped working in both Chrome and Microsoft's new Edge. It was working in both a few months ago. I'm sorry I can't add any more insights - just that wide inline images sent by some people are overflowing the screen width, just like before I discovered your excellent solution.
  • (2020-09-25, v:1.0.1) Maxwell Auger: Is this still being supported?
    This extension appears to be broken. I've installed it and it is not working.
  • (2020-09-06, v:1.0.1) Jeffrey Apparius: scrolling
    Occasionally when reading an email sent to me, the white screen is not big enough to see the entire message. Thus, it is necessary to move the little bar at the bottom of the screen to read the words on the far left or the far right.   The hamburger on the upper left corner and the settings on the upper right have not provided a solution.  How can this be fixed?
  • (2020-08-31, v:1.0.1) Kathleen Price: This does not seem to work
    I installed the extension hoping to have this annoying issue solved, but the extension is not working. I this an update issue? Please advise. Thanks, Kathleen

  • (2020-04-30, v:1.0.1) Breaks To and From field dropdowns
    The extension works great except that when it is enabled it somehow turns off the ability to use the dropdown arrow to expand the To and From field so you can see the email addresses.
  • (2020-01-31, v:1.0.0) Mike V: Works, if you modify main.css
    The CSS identifier no longer matches. To correct, I found main.css inside the extension folder and change the identifier as so: [data-message-id] img[width] { max-width: 100%; width: auto !important; height: auto !important; } For users of this extension, find the extension folder by checking the extension details under your extensions page. chrome://extensions/ Click Details on the extension, then check the address bar for the ID. Then navigate to the location of your extensions, using this ID to find main.css. For me (macOS), this was located at ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions. Windows users appears to be at C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

  • (2020-01-18, v:1.0.0) Dave Koberstein: fixing the details button
    Hi Igor - it seems like a small tweak to the CSS resolves the missing details button: .h7 img[data-image-whitelisted] { max-width: 100%; width: auto !important; height: auto !important; } Dave
  • (2019-12-23, v:1.0.0) Valerie Deane: Not Working
    I've noticed that this isn't working any more. The problem seems to have began in the last month or so. It's possible it may only affect some messages.
  • (2019-11-05, v:1.0.0) Samuel Costa: Message to/cc/subject button details disappears

  • (2019-06-04, v:1.0.0) Jake Hartman: No longer working?
    This is a great idea for an extension, but it's not working for me. Large images in gmail still wreck the format. I hope it's an easy fix.

    Hello, This has been a great extension. Simple, yet it is a life changer. I am not sure if a more recent version of Chrome or an updated extension did it, but when I have this extension installed, the Show Details dropdown (Shows the email header details (To, CC, BCC, Subject Date, Time, etc.) is now 1x1 pixel in size. I uninstalled this extension and it is back to normal. Can this be resolved? Again, thanks for this intuitive extension. Thanks, John
