I often add pictures to my questions. Most of the time they come out the right size. Well, that used to be OK always, up until I started posting screenshots taken by my mobile. For example, this one:

enter image description here

This way, I'm sure you'll agree it is huge, decidedly too big, it takes up the whole body of the question, I mean. At present, the only way I have to resize it is the following code:

[<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/hKmRp.jpg" width="210" height="350" alt="">][1]

which I do not remember, and always have to recover from this answer. Is there a simpler, less HTML-hacky (and, I'd expect, more Markdown-based) way of resizing it?

PS The output of the above code is:

You can resize images uploaded to i.stack.imgur by appending a letter to the filename which represents the size.

s = small
m = medium
l = large

So your image link is currently http://i.stack.imgur.com/hKmRp.jpg, and to change the size you can do the following:

Small:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hKmRps.jpg

Medium:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hKmRpm.jpg

Large:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hKmRpl.jpg

Notice the "s", "m", and "l" after the hKmRp and before the .jpg.

So you can upload an image normally, and just add one of those three letters as required. Which one is best depends on the original size, and what is in the image (etc).

The full code in the post would be something like (for medium):

NOTES:
Do not append any of those letters to keep it "original" size.
"Large" ("l") is slightly smaller than "original" (i.e. without any appended letters).

The above examples outputs the following:

Small

small

Medium

medium

Large

large

Original

large
