Google Sheets – How to Paste Image into a Cell

google sheets

Pasting an image into Google Sheets puts it onto the sheet. I would like to paste the image directly into a cell. You can do this by using the menu Insert > Image> Image In Cell.

I would also be happy if I could move an image pasted onto the sheet into a cell. Any ideas short of saving my screenshots to disk and then uploading it through the aforementioned menu?

You can simply copy and paste into the sheets, there is no need to use the Insert Menu you have described. Follow these steps to add an image to a cell in a Google Sheet:

  1. Copy the Image from your source (eg take a screenshot with snipping tool)
  2. Open the Sheet & Paste the Image from your clipboard
  3. Select the Cell you would like to add the Image too
  4. Select the Picture
  5. Click the Triple dot in the top right of the picture (you can resize the picture to be bigger so you can easily see this menu)

Open Image Menu

  1. In the Menu select "Put Image in selected Cell"
