Embedded files display their content inline in a note and stay up to date when the source file changes.
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]].
> [!tip]- Drag and drop embed
> On desktop, you can also drag and drop supported files directly into your note to embed them automatically.
## Embed a note in another note
To embed a note:
```md
![[Internal links]]
```
You can also embed specific [[Internal links#Link to a heading in a note|headings]] and [[Internal links#Link to a block in a note|blocks]].
```md
![[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:
```md
![[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.
```md
![[Engelbart.jpg|100x145]]
```
If you only specify the width, the image scales proportionally. For example, `![[Engelbart.jpg|100]]`.
![[Engelbart.jpg#outline|100]]
You can also embed an externally hosted image by using a Markdown link. You can control the width and height using the same syntax as a wikilink.
```md
```
## Embed an audio file in a note
To embed an audio file:
```md
![[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:
```md
![[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:
```md
![[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:
```md
![[Document.pdf#height=400]]
```
## Embed a canvas in a note
To embed a [[Canvas|canvas]]:
```md
![[My canvas.canvas]]
```
> [!info]+ Canvas embeds show shapes only
> Embedded canvases display shapes but not the text inside cards. To view the full canvas, open it directly.
## 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:
```md
- list item 1
- list item 2
^my-list-id
```
Then link to the list using the block identifier:
```md
![[My note#^my-list-id]]
```
