Downscaling inline images in org-mode

Question

I used to be able to scale down an inline image in org-mode with

#+attr_html: :width 650 px
[[file:~/org/def/202a3-9.jpeg]]

But now it doesn't work anymore, presumably because of an update to 8.3.5. What to do?

What you have will scale the images in HTML exports, not in the org buffer. Your lack of info on the org/emacs versions when things worked and the same when things did not work cannot help anyone help you on this. — Kaushal Modi, Aug 18 '16 at 12:48

set option in your emacs init file:

(setq org-image-actual-width nil)

And add this property upon image link:

#+NAME: fig:figure name
#+CAPTION: figure name
#+ATTR_ORG: :width 200
#+ATTR_LATEX: :width 2.0in
#+ATTR_HTML: :width 200
[[file:./file.png]]

The width value 200 and 2.0in can be any inch number value if you want.

I sometimes set the org-image-actual-width on a per-file basis. – dmg Dec 18 '16 at 04:53

Is it not possible to set the `:width` attribute for all formats at once? – AlwaysLearning Jan 30 '18 at 07:12
`#+NAME` does not do anything for me. The label of the figure is still automatically generated... – AlwaysLearning Jan 30 '18 at 07:19
You can use Buffer local scope attribute. I don't know is there any option can do this. But you can explore the source code. – stardiviner Jan 30 '18 at 16:06
It's `#+NAME:` not `#+NAME`, don't emit the `:`. – stardiviner Jan 30 '18 at 16:07
If you don't want html/latex export. `#+ATTR_ORG: :width ` is enough. – azzamsa Sep 22 '18 at 02:08
Is it possible to put similar command in `.emac.d` and resize globally..? – Student Oct 06 '19 at 15:31
There is an Org Mode option `org-image-actual-width` for this. – stardiviner Oct 07 '19 at 01:25
What does `200/250/300/400/500/600` mean? The inline mode just uses the smallest size (200) for me. – HappyFace Jul 30 '20 at 00:17
The `200/250/300/400/500/600` means size in inch unit. You can use any value like `200`, `500` etc. I will update answer. – stardiviner Jul 30 '20 at 00:20

Some testing seem to show that just adding a space before the # solve the problem. It look like a bug. May be you should report it to the org-list.
