Reusing images across pages by single sourcing it?

[Anantha Krishnan]

I want to be able to upload images onto a folder in Confluence and reuse the images across pages, effectively single sourcing the image. Is this possible?

I have seen some workarounds suggested but none of them serve my purpose. Saving each image in a single page doesn't seem to be a great idea as I would have a few 100 images.

I need this specific use case, is it possible?

Hi @Anantha Krishnan and welcome to the Community

You can use the Excerpt macro - multiple excerpts on a single page, then use Insert Excerpt with the specific image.

Hi Kristian, I tried this. In my case the icons are pretty small (like the save file icon in windows). When I use the Excerpt macro, it adds a double line spacing between two lines and my formattting goes for a toss.

I see... well, there might be an app... or you can consider displaying images by way of HTML links.

Go /image, then select Link, then paste the html link...

This way, you should be able to create a 'database' of image and then simply point to them using the links.
