Oddly, I didn’t find any topic about that, but it has been a long-standing minor issue.

Here, I defined the custom size as 50×20 for a square emoji:

`![squish!|50x20](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/melting_face.png?v=15)`

Result in the markdown composer preview:

Result in the post looks as expected:

Also, images that have been given custom height and width in the markdown editor ignore those attributes when we switch to the rich editor markdown:

However, it looks as expected when posted.
