hi

I bet I was reading somewhere that from some Hugo version its now possible to resize images that are stored in static folder. However I can not find it anymore, neither in documentations or on forum.

Do I remember it wrong ?  
Tnx.

There are 2 ways to do this:

1. In your config you can enter `assetDir = "static"`

OR

1. Create a symlink of `/static/` or any of its subfolders under `/assets/`

Tnx a lot. Working as expected 🙂

For google searchers here fast example. Put file in `/assets/images/image.jpg`. Then:

```
{{ $img := resources.Get “images/image.jpg” }}
{{ with $img }}
  <img src="{{ (.Fill “440x280”).Permalink }}" />
{{ end }}
```

No. You need to do the following:

A. Read the [Requesting Help](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132) and then open a new Support Ticket explaining the issue while sharing the source code of your project.

B. Never ask, in an already solved support ticket from 7 months ago.

Thanks
