Is there a way to re-enable the image resize feature in the draw.io desktop version?

[CHO]

I’m referring to the feature described here: https://www.drawio.com/doc/faq/add-images

After selecting "Remember my settings," I can't insert images at all because the image size is too large.
Even after resizing to 1.4MB, insertion still doesn’t work. 😢😢

I tried turn on developer mode -> IndexDB invalidate but it doesn't work.

It looks like the "Remember my settings" option stored a preference to disable automatic image resizing (resizeImages: false). That means any image larger than ~1024×1024 pixels is blocked entirely instead of being resized.

To fix it:

Option 1 — Reset all settings

1. In draw.io, go to Extras → Configuration → Reset Settings.

2. Close and reopen the app.

Option 2 — Just reset the resize setting

1. Open your browser’s Developer Tools → Application / Storage tab.

2. Under Local Storage for https://app.diagrams.net, find the key .drawio-config.

3. Edit the JSON:

   • Change "resizeImages":false to "resizeImages":true.

4. Press Enter and reload the page.

After that, inserting large images should work again, and they’ll be resized automatically if needed.

It works!

Thank you for your support :)
