Whether you’re working on a hefty research project or a friendly holiday greeting card, adding images to your Word document can really add value to your project. Whether you want to insert a picture from your computer or find one online, it’s easy to add photos in Word. This wikiHow teaches you how to insert an image into a Microsoft Word document using Windows, a Mac, and the free web version of Word.

Things You Should Know

  • Use the Insert tab on Windows, Mac, and the web app to add a picture.
  • Select Pictures > This Device to use an image on your computer.
  • Click the image to resize and reformat it.
  1. Image titled Add Images to a Microsoft Word Document Step 1

    1

    Click the place in your document where you want to insert the picture. Word’s insertion cursor, a vertical blinking bar, will appear at this point. When you insert the image, its bottom-left corner will be at this point.

    • This method works for all modern versions of Word beginning with Word 2016. You can also use it as a guide for earlier versions of Windows, although there will be fewer tools and features.
    • Changing the background is done through a different method, using the Design tab.

    Click the Insert tab. It’s near the top of Word between «Home» and «Draw» (or «Home» and «Design» in some versions).

      • If the picture is on your computer, simply navigate to it in the file browser.
      • If you want to search for a photo online or insert one from Facebook, Flickr, or your OneDrive, close the file browser and click the Online Pictures icon next to the «Pictures» in the toolbar. You can then select an image from Bing image search, Flickr, or Facebook.

Microsoft Word includes several image editing tools that allow you to make changes to images in your documents. Here’s how to use them.

You don’t need expensive photo editing software like Photoshop to edit photos and other images for Microsoft Word documents. Although the Microsoft Office Picture Manager has been retired, there are still plenty of built-in tools to edit images in Word.

Microsoft Word allows you to format colors and brightness, add borders, crop image sizes, add special effects, and more, so here’s how to do it. While the instructions may vary, these instructions should work for Word 2016 and higher, including Microsoft 365 (formerly O365) and Online.

There are a few ways to crop an image in Microsoft Word. Start by inserting the image into your Word document (Insert > Pictures) and selecting the image.

Inserting an image in Word

To begin formatting your selected image, click Format > Crop (or Format > Crop > Crop). You can also enter the image cropping mode by right-clicking the image and selecting Crop.

This will change the outline around your image from resizing to cropping.

Cropping an image in Word

Move the crop outline tools around your image to reduce the image area to its final size. Grayed-out areas will be removed from the final image once the crop edit has been confirmed.

Once you’re happy, click once outside of the image or press Enter on your keyboard.

Selecting the crop outline in Microsoft Word

Formatting Image Colors

Word allows you to format the colors used in your image without exporting it to a photo editor first. You can customize the image sharpness, brightness, saturation, tone, and contrast levels, either manually or using one of several preset filters.

To access the image formatting tools, right-click on your image and press Format Picture at the bottom.

Entering the Format Picture menu in Word

This will bring up the Format Picture menu on the right-hand side. Click the Picture icon (furthest right) to access the image color editing tools.

Under Picture Corrections, move the sliders for each category to sharpen or soften an image or increase or decrease the brightness and contrast levels. You can also click Presets for each category, selecting one of the thumbnails to apply those changes to your image instead.

Performing image corrections in Word

Under Picture Color, you can change the tone and saturation levels for your selected image. Move the sliders for each option left or right to increase or decrease each level.

Click Presets to set these levels using one of the provided preset options.

Making image color corrections in Word

If you’re unhappy with any of the color changes you’ve made, click the Reset button underneath each category to return your image to its original state.

Adding Special Effects to Images

Microsoft Word also includes several special effects that can be easily applied to images. These include image shadow, glow and reflection, soft edges, and a 3D bevel effect.

To add these special effects, enter the Format Picture menu (right-click > Format Picture) and click the Effects icon (second from the left). Click on each sub-category to access each setting.

To add a shadow to your image, click Shadow and move the sliders to set transparency, size, angle, color, etc. You can also click Preset to preview and add a Word-defined drop shadow instead.

Adding a drop shadow to an image in Word

Click Reflection and follow the same instructions to add a custom or preset image reflection to your image. Do the same to Glow to add an image glow and Soft Edges to soften the edges around your image.

To add a 3D bevel effect to your image, click 3-D Format. Select the effect you want for both the top and bottom sections of your image by clicking Top Bevel and Bottom Bevel, selecting one of the pre-defined options.

You can also customize the depth, contour, material effect, and lighting levels for your 3D bevel effect using the drop-down menus and option boxes.

Adding Special Effects to Images in Word

You can also add one of several preset artistic effects to your image. These combine several effects into one to change your image design.

To do this, click the Artistic Effects sub-category, then click the Artistic Effects icon. Select one of the preset options using your mouse to apply it to your image.

Adding Artistic Image Effects to images in Word

Compressing Images in Microsoft Word

Adding images to a Word document can vastly increase its size. By compressing the images, you can reduce the file size of your document as a whole.

To format a single picture, click Format > Compress Images and ensure that the Apply only to this picture checkbox is enabled. If you want to compress all of your attached images, click to uncheck this checkbox.

Compressing images will reduce the quality on a sliding scale from HD quality (330 pixels per inch) to basic email quality (96 pixels per inch).

Compress Images in Microsoft Word

The higher the quality, the bigger the Word file, so choose your preferred quality, then click OK to compress your images.

Basic Image Editing Made Easy

These editing tools make it easy to make basic changes to images in Microsoft Word. You can also resize images in Windows 10 without needing an image editor too.

If you need to make bigger changes to your images, you can try some of these free Photoshop alternatives instead.

Adding Images in Microsoft Word

From company logos to detailed scientific illustrations, there are many reasons to add an image to a Microsoft Word document. But how does this work? And how can you ensure your finished document looks professional? Check out our guide below for a few tips.

Adding Images in Microsoft Word

You have three main options for adding images in Microsoft Word:

  1. Adding an image from your computer
  2. Adding an image from the internet
  3. Using the “Shapes” and “SmartArt” available via MS Word

You can access all these options by going to Insert > Illustrations on the main ribbon. This tab is also where you can find options for adding charts and tables to your document.

The Illustrations section of the ribbon.

The Illustrations section of the ribbon.

1. Adding an Image from Your Computer

If you are adding images from your own computer:

  • Place the cursor where you want to add a picture
  • Go to Insert > Illustrations
  • Click Pictures to open a new window
  • Find and select the image you want to use on your computer
  • Click Insert

This will add the picture (full size) in the place selected. You can also add an image from your computer by dragging the thumbnail into the document.

2. Adding an Image from the Internet

This option lets you import an image directly from the internet. To do so:

  • Select where the image should go with the cursor

  • Search for a picture using Bing Image Search (keep Creative Commons Only selected if you will be using the image for commercial purposes)
  • Select the image(s) you want to use and click Insert

Selecting an online picture.

This will add the selected image to your document. It will even add a makeshift caption, including the license for the picture. However, make sure you’re familiar with the rules about using copyrighted and Creative Commons images before you add other people’s pictures to your document.

3. Shapes and SmartArt

For simple images, such as flow charts or arrows, it may be easier to use the “Shapes” and “SmartArt” in Microsoft Word. These are pre-set graphics that you can add at the click of a button:

  • The Shapes include arrows, boxes, speech bubbles and other basic geometrical shapes and graphics. You can access these by going to Insert > Illustrations > Shapes. You will then need to click and drag to set the dimensions of the shape selected.
  • SmartArt uses predesigned combinations of the graphics from the “Shapes” menu. This allows you to add an entire flowchart in one go, for example, which you can then adjust as required.

These options offer a simple way to add visual elements to your document.

Formatting Images

We won’t go into all the image formatting options available in Microsoft Word here. However, there are two main factors to consider when adding images to a document:

  • Image size and position – You can resize an image by clicking and dragging the circles at its edges. To move an image, moreover, you can click it and drag it around the document.
  • Text wrapping – This controls how the image is positioned in relation to the text. You can access these settings by clicking the image and going to Format > Arrange > Wrap Text.

You can also access image layout options by clicking an image and selecting the icon that appears next to it.
