Inserting pictures into cells in Excel requires manual position and size adjustment, not direct embedding. First click "Insert" > "Picture", select the file and drag to the target cell and resize it; secondly, if the picture needs to move or zoom with the cell, right-click to select "Size and Properties" and check "Change position and size with the cell"; finally, when inserting in batches, you can copy the set pictures and replace the new file. Notes include avoiding stretching distortion, setting appropriate row height and column width, checking print display and compatibility issues.

Inserting a picture into a cell in Excel is not to "put it into" the cell directly, but to adjust the position and size of the picture to fit a certain cell. This is very practical when making reports, picture albums or visual presentations.

Basic methods to insert pictures

First select the cell position where you want to insert the picture, and then follow the steps below:

• Click "Insert" > "Picture" in the menu bar to select the local image file;
• The image will appear on the worksheet, and you need to manually drag it to the near the target cell;
• Resize the image so it just fits into the cell.

Note: The images inserted by Excel by default are floating on the worksheet and will not be automatically bound to a cell. If you need to let the picture move or scale with the cell, additional settings are required.

Let the image move and resize with the cell

If you want the inserted image to be moved or changed in size along with the cell (for example, you have adjusted the row height or column width), you need to set the image properties:

1. Right-click on the image and select "Size and Properties";
2. Find the Properties option in the right panel;
3. Setting the "Position" section:
   • Check "Change position and size with cell".

In this way, when you adjust the cell size or drag the cell position, the picture will also change synchronously and will not go off the line.

Insert pictures in batches and align cells automatically

If you need to insert multiple images in batches, such as adding corresponding images to each line of products, you can use VBA or Power Query to improve efficiency. But if you are not familiar with these tools, you can also use a simple method:

• Insert each picture separately and set "change position and size with the cell" as described above;
• After adjusting the first image, copy it and paste it in other cells;
• After pasting, double-click the image and replace it with the corresponding new image file.

Although it is not completely automated, it is faster than setting it one by one.

Notes and FAQs

• The picture is too large or deformed : after inserting, be sure to hold the corner point and drag to adjust to avoid stretching distortion;
• The cell is not large enough : you can set the appropriate row height and column width first;
• An exception is displayed when exporting or printing : Check whether the picture is blocked or out of the cell range;
• Compatibility issues : Some versions of Excel (especially web versions) may not support complex image positioning capabilities.

Basically that's it. The operation is not complicated, but the details are easy to ignore, especially the setting of "change with cells", which many people miss at the beginning. Just try a few more times and you will be able to master it soon.
