How to Place an Image onto an Excel Spreadsheet

Inserting an image into Excel is fairly straightforward. Below is a spreadsheet with a picture in it. The picture serves to illustrate a lesson on the circumference of a circle.

The image above was inserted like this:

• 
  
  From the Excel menu bar, click on Insert


• 
  
  From the drop down menu, select Picture


• 
  
  From the sub menu that appears, click on From File (Click the Clip Art option if you want to insert a clip art image.)


• 
  
  The following dialogue box appears:

• 
  
  Navigate to where on your computer your picture is


• 
  
  Then click Insert

Once the picture is inserted into Excel, you can resize it and move it to a new location. You can even crop it down a bit by using the Crop tool on the Picture toolbar (View > Toolbars > Picture).
