I am trying to view my images in a PowerBI from my dataverse table and I can only retrieve thumbnail images. I have "Can store full images" checked, but is there a way I can get the full resolution?

Out of curiosity, how are you displaying the Dataverse image thumbnails in Power BI? Are you using a Power BI embedded Power App?

The key to getting a Dataverse image to display in full resolution is to add the parameter "&Full=true" to the image url.

The url template is like this:

https://<Your_Dynamics_Url>.crm.dynamics.com/Image/download.aspx?Entity=<Your_Table_Logical_Name>&Attribute=<Your_Image_Column_Logical_Name>&Id=<Your_Record_GUID>&Full=true

Here's an blog post on how to do this in Canvas Apps:

Hey Mark, thank you for the help!

Sorry should have added more context. I am capturing my images from a Power App and storing them in a dataverse table. It's seems I can only view the images even from the dataverse table as a thumbnail as well.
In PowerBI I am using the URL column from my dataverse table and the base URL. I just added your suggestion:

And it works! But too big now haha. Still difficult to see the image:

Is there a step below Full? I've tried other options like Large and Medium but it did not work.

No problem. Yea sometimes the images are huge!

I wish there were parameters to get different sizes besides the default and full (there may be, but I don't know them).

You could use an embedded power app in power bi to display a list with the images the size you want, or maybe make a custom endpoint (like with power automate) to create and return a smaller version of the image.
