Google Sheets – View Full Images on Hover

formulasgoogle sheetsgoogle-chrome-extensionsimages

Given a URL to an image, how can I easily insert images into cells into Google Sheets and then have the full images viewable on hover?

I'll be doing this on the fly with many images throughout the day, so the fewer clicks, the better.

I have tried Chrome extensions like ImageHover and Imagus, but neither seem to work with either inline or linked images within cells.

  • or you can insert an image into a cell and make it active:
    =HYPERLINK("https://i.imgur.com/dcAoUzp.jpg",IMAGE("https://i.imgur.com/dcAoUzp.jpg",4,90,160))
    and then hover over a hovered link (notice the mouse cursor)
