Learn how you can embed other notes and media into your notes. By embedding files in your notes, you can reuse content across your vault.

To embed a file in your vault, add an exclamation mark (!) in front of an [[Internal links|Internal link]]. You can embed files in any of the [[Accepted file formats]].

Embed a note in another note

To embed a note:

![[Internal links]]

You can also embed links to [[Internal links#Link to a heading in a note|headings]] and [[Internal links#Link to a block in a note|blocks]].

![[Internal links#^b15695]]

The text below is an example of an embedded block:

![[Internal links#^b15695]]

Embed an image in a note

To embed an image:

![[Engelbart.jpg]]

![[Engelbart.jpg#outline]]

You can change the image dimensions, by adding |640x480 to the link destination, where 640 is the width and 480 is the height.

![[Engelbart.jpg|100x145]]

If you only specify the width, the image scales according to its original aspect ratio. For example, ![[Engelbart.jpg|100]].

![[Engelbart.jpg#outline|100]]

Embed an audio file in a note

To embed an audio file:

![[Excerpt from Mother of All Demos (1968).ogg]]

![[Excerpt from Mother of All Demos (1968).ogg]]

Embed a PDF in a note

To embed a PDF:

![[Document.pdf]]

You can also open a specific page in the PDF, by adding #page=N to the link destination, where N is the number of the page:

![[Document.pdf#page=3]]

You can also specify the height in pixels for the embedded PDF viewer, by adding #height=[number] to the link. For example:

![[Document.pdf#height=400]]

Embed a list in a note

To embed a list from a different note, first add a [[Internal links#Link to a block in a note|block identifier]] to your list:

- list item 1
- list item 2

^my-list-id

Then link to the list using the block identifier:

![[My note#^my-list-id]]

Embed search results

![[Search#Embed search results in a note]]
