Some mind mapping tools like Ayoa are so powerful. You can add images directly to the main node or children. In Miro, we can't add images to nodes directly. We can just add them to the board and it is not useful. Because of that, we can not align pictures together with nodes by your perfect align button. We have to re-arrange the images again and again. Please add this feature to your perfect app. Thanks in advance.

Agree. I’m a long-time mind mapper and consider this feature to be a mind mapping fundamental. The current implementation (or lack thereof) really impacts user workflow, which in general is nicely streamlined in Miro. I saw elsewhere this feature is on the roadmap. When can we expect it to drop?!


This would greatly facilitate my data collection for study


This feature would help to visualise ideations. 


Couldn’t agree more, it makes me crazy having to rearrange the pics. I use a lot minmap on miro to take notes but I need to attach screen shots. i’m really considering changing app at this point...

This feature would benefit my data organization a lot. Other cool ideas might also include attaching any miro elements to a node, like a link or a g doc?

**** A POTENTIAL SOLUTION / NOT IDEAL****
1. Add an image to the board
2. Select the connection line (arrow icon on the toolbar on the left of the screen)
3. Drag from any node to the image
Now you can drag the image and it stays connected with the parent node.

 

MIRO needs to allow the “text” node to accept text and/or image content.
Sill a good product but I need this before I buy (+ dark mode)

Thanks so much for the tip.

I agree. This feature would easily make Miro in the best mind mapping tool.


The more I work with miro the more it looks like an overrated product


Please, Miro’s Team, implement this feature for us!!!!

I would also really appreciate this feature… I like to work with Miro but always at that point when I want to add images to mind-maps it’s getting pretty messy and costs a lot of time to re arrange everything and so on… thats annoying.


It’s been two years and this still hasn’t been implemented? Brutal


Agreed. I like visualizing what I’m working on. Neither filling the nodes with color isn’t possible which could be a good start for hearing the requests.

well, this is the thing that is making me not pay for Miro...


Absolutely love this feature in FreeMind. While working through code or other stuff I always copy parts of it as picture to a subnode so I could collapse it. Pity it’s not supported.
