Gmail Inline Image Fit

Get rid of that nasty horizontal scrolling, with inline images fitting Gmail's message area.

What is Gmail Inline Image Fit?

"Gmail Inline Image Fit" is a Chrome extension that eliminates the inconvenience of horizontal scrolling caused by oversized inline images in Gmail messages. Ideal for those images such as screenshots or elaborate signatures which may not fit in a windowed view, the tool ensures all inline images fit within the message body. The extension still leaves intact Gmail's lightbox feature for viewing images in full size.

[[ 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 :)

Recent 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.
