Resize image in the wiki of GitHub using Markdown

Almost 5 years after only the direct HTML formatting works for images on GitHub and other markdown options still prevent images from loading when specifying some custom sizes even with the wrong dimensions. I prefer to specify the desired width and get the height calculated automatically, for example,

<img src="https://github.com/your_image.png" alt="Your image title" width="250"/>

I have used methods described above. Now I am using the method which is a way similiar but more simple to me.

1. First create add README.md file to your project.
2. Then upload screenshoots or whatever description images needed to your project main directory.
3. After uploading image Assets use html to refer these assets directly without using link like below

Like this:

<img src="icon.jpg" width="324" height="324">

<p align="center">
  <img src="screen1.png" width="256" height="455">
  <img src="screen2.png" width="256" height="455">
  <img src="screen3.png" width="256" height="455">
</p>

On above example I have used paragraph to align images side by side. If you are going to use single image just use the code as below

<img src="icon.jpg" width="324" height="324">

Have a nice day!

On GitHub, you can use HTML directly instead of Markdown:

<a href="url"><img src="http://url.to/image.png" align="left" height="48" width="48" ></a>

This should make it.

Updated:

Markdown syntax for images (external/internal):

![test](https://github.com/favicon.ico)

HTML code for sizing images (internal/external):

<img src="https://github.com/favicon.ico" width="48">

Example:

Old Answer:

This should work:

[[ http://url.to/image.png | height = 100px ]]
