Images and files in notes

Drag a file into a note — an image, a PDF, a spreadsheet, anything — and Pellet files it in your vault and links it from where you dropped it.

An Attachments folder by default. You can change that in Settings, and if you’d rather keep attachments beside the notes that use them, point it wherever suits.

The file is copied into your vault, not linked from wherever it was. Your vault stays self-contained: move the folder to another machine and the images still work.

Show inline in both the editor and reading view. Drop, and it’s there.

The Add image option can search Unsplash and insert a photo. That’s the one place Pellet talks to a service you didn’t configure, and only while you’re actively searching — your search term goes out, nothing about your vault does.

Drop a PDF or EPUB into your vault and it opens in Pellet’s own reader, where highlights become notes. See Reading PDFs and ebooks.

Dragging a note from the sidebar into an open note doesn’t copy it — it inserts a link to it. Usually what you wanted, and it saves typing the name.

Attachments are ordinary files in an ordinary folder. If it grows unwieldy, reorganize it in Finder — Pellet follows, as long as the links still point somewhere real.
