There is no reason a spreadsheet should make you fight your own images. The question from this user is not too basic, it is a direct hit on a limitation that legacy tools have tolerated for years, and it deserves a real answer, not an apology.
Manual row-height adjustments are the kind of friction that quietly eats hours. You drop in an image, stretch the row, repeat for the next row, and before long you are not managing data anymore, you are managing pixels. The user here is building a table with images in the first column, titles in the second, and presumably more content to follow. That is a common, practical workflow: catalogs, portfolios, inventory sheets, dashboards. Every one of those tasks should feel fluid, not like a chore you apologize for asking about. The fact that a user feels the need to say "sorry if this is too basic" tells you everything about how the current tools make people feel small for wanting simple automation.
What this user is asking for is auto-adjustment that responds to the actual content. If an image is 200 pixels tall, the row should match it. If the next image is taller, the row should grow. No manual dragging, no guessing, no workarounds with merged cells or hidden columns. This is not a feature request for power users, it is a baseline expectation for any tool that claims to handle visual data. An AI-native spreadsheet should see an image, measure its dimensions, and resize the container in the same breath. It should also let you set a rule once, "fit all images to row height", and then forget about it while you focus on the content itself.
The practical takeaway is this: if you are spending time adjusting row heights for images, you are not working with a spreadsheet that meets you where you are. A tool that understands context does not make you micromanage layout. It observes your pattern, image in column A, title in column B, and offers a one-click rule that applies across the entire table. You should be able to add an image and watch the row conform, then add another and see the same behavior without lifting a finger. That is not a luxury. That is the baseline for a tool that respects your time. The user who posted this question deserves a spreadsheet that treats their images as data, not as obstacles.
