I would like to include an image in a question I'm asking on StackOverflow. However it is a large image and takes up more space than I'd like it to. I'd like to scale it down a bit without having to create a new image

I tried to use an img tag, but once I added a style, height, or width attribute it hid the image

Is there a way to scale down the image once the link is added in the question?

If you want to use width, you must put it after the src and surround it with double quotes. Example (using your profile picture):

Code:

<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rwTPK.jpg" width="50">

Result:

Code:

<img width="50" src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rwTPK.jpg">

Result:

Also note that if your image is hosted by imgur, you can put an s, m, or l before the extension (for small, medium, and large respectively):
