How to Add a Photo to Your Google Site

Google Sites is an easy and free way to design and host a website, though their help articles are notoriously vague. Adding images will vastly improve your website and make it look far more professional. If you have been wondering how to upload and display an image, look no further!


1. Go to your Google Sites browser page from the browser of your choice. Click on the "Edit" button on the top right of yourbrowser window.
2. Click to the right of the object or text that you want the image to sit below. Hit the "Enter" key ("Return" for Macs) to create a break.
3. Drop down the "Insert" menu at the top left of your browser screen, and select "Image".
4. From the pop-up window, make sure that "Uploaded Images" is checked. Then you'll see "Upload an image" along with a textbox that has "Browse" or "Choose File" next to it.

• Click "Choose File" or "Browse" and select the image you want to add from your computer. A preview of the image should appear in the window.
• You can upload multiple photos by clicking on the new "Choose File" button to the right of your photo preview.
• If wished, you can also link to a web URL by checking the "Web address (URL). You'll be reminded to use your own image, not a copyright image, and all you need to do is type the URL in the box. Provided your URL is correct, the image should appear within the box for you to check, although give large images a bit of time to appear. If not, double check your URL.

5. Click the "OK" button in the lower left corner of the pop-up window.
6. Align the image in the preferred position on your Google Site. A blue rectangle floating will appear floating on the photo, offering several options:

• At the top will be the URL that your image can be found at, and the options to change or remove the image.
• Below the URL it will say: Image: Align: L C R - Size: S M L Original - Wrap: on off. By selection the different options you can change the alignment (which side of the page the photo appears on), size, and whether or not text can wrap around it.
• You can play around with this until you're happy with the size, alignment, and overall look of the image. The alignment box won't disappear until you decide to close it, so don't feel shy about resizing a lot. Press the small "x" to close the alignment box.

7. Save. If the draft hasn't already been saved for you, go ahead and click on "Save" in the top right corner. Your image is now safely inserted.
