Hi there,
I’m wondering why image resizing isn’t available in the Tiptap editor.
I also haven’t been able to find any solid information on whether it’s planned or when it might be implemented in Tiptap.
I’ve started experimenting with building my own extension, but I haven’t had much success getting it to work yet.
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions for how to move forward?
Should I continue building my own extension, or is there something out there that already works?
Or is Umbraco perhaps working on native support for image resizing?
It was on our roadmap, but then we found that it was going to be part of the Tiptap v3, (this was a few months ago).
To note, Tiptap v3.0 was released yesterday. We’ll look to get it upgraded for Umbraco v17. So in the meantime for v16, it’s going to be a roll your own solution.
That’s absolutely right – I’ve also looked into all sorts of things and even wrestled a bit with CoPilot
However, I still haven’t reached a usable result
(I’m not very experienced when it comes to building extensions).
I’ve checked out this package, for example:
But I haven’t really found a good guide that explains the fundamental principles of building an extension from scratch.
This is also where Google can sometimes feel like the enemy – everyone has their own ideas and approaches, often pointing in completely different directions. That’s fine to some extent, but it can also be discouraging when it all ends in errors and doesn’t even result in a simple “hello world” to build on.
It’s a bit disappointing to hear that image resizing has been deprioritized in Umbraco/TipTap. It doesn’t feel very editor-friendly to require manual handling of multiple image sizes – or to expect editors to set width and height via code view.
It’s also far from ideal to have to wait around four months for such a relatively small feature, especially considering the significant impact it has on the editors’ workflow.
