Gmail Inline Image Fit
Get rid of that nasty horizontal scrolling, with inline images fitting Gmail's message area.
[[ 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 :)
Latest reviews
This is brilliant for extremely large embedded images. Downside is that all sent emojis and signature emojis look HUGE. Please update the extension to do away with this strange side effect.
This extension does what it says. It takes oversized inline images in Gmail and reduces them to a max width of 100% of the parent element's size. In other words, it fits the image on the screen so that you don't have to scroll horizontally to view the image and find the reply button. As other reviewers have noted, one significant downside is that this extension makes emojis annoyingly large. Can't you just make the max-width: 100% without changing the size of smaller images? If you could fix that I would give the extension five stars.
This extension enlarges emojis quite a bit, which is why I give it 3 stars.
Brilliant extension which addresses an age old problem.

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.

Just WOW! This has been plaguing me for years. So nice to be able to read all the text. Thank you!

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.

It works! Can't believe this issue exists for years without native fix by Google.

Used to work - now it doesn't. Absolutely HATE(!) Google for not just fixing this stupid issue. "Dear" Google, why are you so arrogant?

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.

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.

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.

Merci !!! Quel soulagement :)
Doesn't do what it's supposed to, so I still have to scroll horizontally for large images in Gmail.

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

You're telling me all this time, all I needed was this extension? Why doesn't Google include this natively???

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.

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!
