Drawings: Adding images to your drawing

Print

To insert an image into your drawing, follow these steps:

  1. From within your document, spreadsheet or presentation, click Insert > Drawing.
  2. Click the Insert image button in the toolbar.
  3. In the window that appears, enter the URL of the image you'd like to insert.
  4. Click OK.

After inserting the image into your drawing, you can add scribbles, shapes, lines, arrows, and text boxes on top of the image.

You can resize the image by dragging one of the resize (white) handles, and the image will expand and contract with your cursor's movement. Images can be resized to scale by holding the Shift key while dragging a corner resize handle. To flip an image, click Edit > Rotate, and select Flip horizontally or Flip vertically.
