How to embed images in Excel
In Excel, you can easily insert pictures with Copy & Paste. But embedding them in the cells is not that easy. You can read how it works in this practical tip.
Embed images in Excel
- First use Copy (Shortcut: Ctrl + C) and Paste (Shortcut: Ctrl + V) to paste the desired image from the clipboard into your Excel table.
- Now shrink the picture so that it fits into the cell. To do this, simply drag the corners of the image to the correct size with the mouse. Alternatively, you can of course also adjust the column and row size.
- You can now use the Alt key to position the image in the correct cell.
- Then right-click on the image to open the context menu and select "Size and properties".
- Under "Properties" you will find the item "depends on cell position and size". The image is thus adapted to the formatting and is taken into account, for example, when sorting the lines.
