Options can be combined, and vertical bars ("|") are used to separate options from each other. The options can be put in any order. An unknown option is taken as the caption text, but this seems to appear only if <tt>thumb</tt> is specified.

: [[File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|right|50px|]]This option renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|right|50px|]]</nowiki></tt> shown on the right). Height is computed to keep [[Wikipedia:aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] (i.e. the shape of the image). You can also constrain both dimensions by typing something like ''100x100px''. | : [[File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|right|50px|]]This option renders a version of the image that's ''[size]'' pixels wide (e.g. <tt><nowiki>[[File:Grunt Ultra H3.jpg|right|50px|]]</nowiki></tt> shown on the right).
