A figure is a real image on the page, not a file path you have to picture in your head.

Resizing
Select the image and drag the handles that appear at its corners and edges. Size snaps to fractions of the text width, so it stays a clean value in the LaTeX rather than an odd decimal. Preferences › Image resize step sets how coarse that snapping is (10%, 25%, or 50%).
Caption and numbering
Hover the top right of the image for a Settings icon. Show Caption adds a caption field below it; Numbered labels it automatically ("Figure 1") and makes it referenceable with @. A Size slider is here too, for fine adjustment beyond the drag handles.
Advanced: custom labels
Advanced options in the same Settings panel exposes the LaTeX Label directly, so you can rename it to something you will actually remember. If you never set one, Texpile has already generated a random label for the image, so @ references still work.
