Images are quite an important tool in conveying certain messages. While inserting images into Google Docs is easy, it’s not exactly that simple in Google Sheets. One reason for this is that cells in Google Sheets are quite compact. However, once you can adjust the size of the cell to fit the image you need to insert, it becomes easy.
Inserting images into Google Sheets cells is useful for presenting charts, graphs, and other visual representations of information. To insert an image into Google Sheets cells, here’s what you should do.
Insert an image into a Google Sheets cell
When you want to insert an image into a cell on Google Sheets, moving or resizing the image is optional. Another option is to immediately insert an image that resizes to fit the cell size. The challenge is that resizing an image can degrade its quality most of the time. We will show you how to insert an image into a Google Sheets cell and how to resize the cell with the steps below:
Step 1: Launch the Google Sheets file that you need to add the images to.
Step 2: Select the cell where you want to add a photo.
Step 3: Click Insert in the menu bar.
Step 4: Click on Image.
Step 5: Select Insert image into cell to launch the dialog box.
Step 6: Click on your preferred image source from the dialog box and select the images you need to add to the spreadsheet.
Step 7: Navigate to the specific image, then click Insert.
Step 8: If the cell size is too small to display the image appropriately, right-click the column label with the image.
Step 9: Select Resize Columns from the list of options to launch a pop-up where you can provide size values.
Step 10: Enter the desired size value. Note that the higher the value you provide, the larger the size of the column. You can also choose to have the column fit the size of the data provided.
Step 11: Click OK.
Step 12: Right click on the row number with the image.
Step 13: Select Resize Row from the list of options to launch a pop-up where you can provide size values.
Step 14: Enter the size value you want. You can also choose to have the row fit the size of the data provided.
Step 15: Click OK.
An easier way to resize Google Sheets cells is to move the mouse pointer to the edge of the column (left or right edge). When it turns blue, click and drag until you reach the desired size.
Move an existing image from one cell to another
What if you need to move an existing image from one cell to another? Don’t worry, this can be done in Google Sheets, and here’s how:
Step 1: Click on the box with the image.
Step 2: Right click on the cell and select Cut from the options.
Step 3: Place the cursor in the new cell and right-click.
Step 4: Select Paste from the options.
The image moves from its current position to the new cell in your Google Sheets.
Insert an image on the cells
The final operation that we will discuss in this post is inserting images into cells in Google Sheets. In this case, the image is not fixed inside the cells. Instead, it appears on the cells, just like the name of the operation. As such, it hides the contents of the cells behind the image. This is useful when you need to add some design to your spreadsheet. Here’s how to insert images on cells in Google Sheets:
Step 1: Click Insert on the menu bar.
Step 2: Click on Image.
Step 3: Select Insert image on cell to appear a dialog box.
Step 4: Click on your preferred image source from the dialog box and select the images you need to add to the spreadsheet.
Step 5: Navigate to the specific image, then click Insert.
You can always adjust the image if needed.
