    Hey DLuna, I quickly checked on my end & resizing doesn’t seem to be an available option at the moment. As a temporary workaround, you can scale down the image locally & re-upload it, since the table size is automatically adjusted to your photo ratio. 
     
    Nevertheless, that’s a great idea & I’d happily pass your interest to our Paper engineering team for future iterations. Let me know if you have any further questions or thoughts here & I’ll make sure to check back with you soon. Thanks!

This is not an acceptable solution it's a waste of time and energy for a basic feature that shoudl be embedded within paper.  If you offer the possibility to add a media, you have to be able to manipulate it and you did it in a way since it0s possible to align text and replace media. I hope you will add the feature soon
