How to Insert a Picture in Google Docs Without Moving the Text? Adding pictures to Google Docs can mess up the text flow. But if you follow the right steps, everything stays neat. To add a picture without shifting your text, pick “In line,” “Wrap text,” or “Break text” in the image formatting options. The “Wrap text” option is ideal. It allows text to flow in an orderly manner around the picture, which maintains the layout's integrity. You can drag the image to position it right. This won't disturb the paragraphs, so your document will look polished and professional.
