    • You can also add image with other options; Search the web, Google Drive, Google Photos, by URL, and Camera.

    How to Resize and Arrange Images in Google Docs?

    • After inserting an image, you may want to resize or rearrange the picture according to your choice.
    • You can resize or rearrange your images in Google Docs by simply dragging the blue borders of the picture.
    • Google Doc offers you with three options; In Line, Wrap Text, and Break Text.
    • The first icon at the bottom, In Line, considers the picture as a part of text. The text will appear either before the image or after the image. This option is a good fit for small pictures such as symbols.
    • The second icon at the bottom, Wrap Text, wraps the text around the image.
    • The third icon at the bottom, Break Text, will divide the content below or above the picture.
