Google Docs allows you to combine your images into a single image. Moving and organizing images this way will become much easier than doing it one at a time. So, how do you group images in Google Docs?
Follow the below steps.
1. To log on to Google Docs, go to the Google Docs website.
Navigate to the Google Docs website using your preferred web browser. Make sure you have signed in to your Google account before continuing.
2. Go to the document you want to format and open it.
After logging in, go through all your documents and select the one you wish to update. Then, on the document you want to open, click on it.
3. Position your text cursor where you want to see your document’s grouped images.
Determine where you want the images to go. Once this is done, move the text cursor to the desired location so that the photos appear where you want them to.
4. Choose “Insert” from the menu.
You can find the “Insert” menu from the upper portion of the screen after placing your text cursor where you wish.
5. Find “Drawing” in the drop-down list.
A set of sub-menus like tables, drawings, images, and charts will appear on the drop-down list. Place your mouse over the “Drawing” submenu to see another drop-down menu.
6. Then click “New.”
You can choose either a New or From Drive option from the second drop-down list that appears. As a result of clicking “+ New,” a Google Docs drawing tool pop-up window will appear on the screen.
7. Add your desired images in the Google Docs drawing window.
To add relevant images in the Google Docs Drawing window, locate the “Insert picture” icon on the toolbar of the popup window. By clicking on the icon, you will be able to group any photo. Remember, adding images simultaneously is not possible. The Drawing tool only allows you to insert one at a time.
In the Drawing tool, you don’t have to worry about how you arrange them since whenever you use the tool after you have already grouped them, you can see exactly how they were arranged.
8. You must select all the images you’ve added to your Google Docs Drawing tool.
After including all the images, you can also use the Ctrl + A keyboard shortcut to select all the images you want to group. Alternatively, you can simultaneously press both the Ctrl and A keys to select all the images in the drawing tool.
9. On the window’s menu, click “Actions”.
After ensuring all the images you inserted have been selected, select the “Actions” menu in the top left corner of the pop-up window. You will then be able to choose from a drop-down list.
10. The next step is to choose “Group”.
To achieve the desired format, locate and click “Group” in the next drop-down list. The screenshot below is for reference.
11. Insert your grouped images into your document by clicking the “Save and Close” option.
Once you have grouped the images you want to insert into your document, click “Save and Close.” Before clicking “Save and Close,” double-check that all the images you’ve picked have been grouped successfully to avoid repeating the process.
In addition, Google Docs allows you to group shapes and lines.
