When you add and save images in Markdown files from your gallery, they are first uploaded to the cloud, and thereafter are added to your Markdown/text documents. A random public URL will be generated for the images you choose to add. With Internet connectivity, this allows for your images to be accessible from any platform you open your documents from. Images of multiple file types, such as jpeg, jpg, png, svg, and gif can be added to your documents as well. Fret not, as this does not compromise your security. Your images can also be viewed if you decide to print, export or publish your work as well.

This portability, and the freedom to add your very own images to your work on JotterPad is something we are excited for you to use!

Now, feel free to add TeX equations in-line. This makes sure that equations do not take up an entire block in your document.
