If you are searching for how to overlap images in Google Docs, you are at the right place. Here we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
To layer one image over another in Google Docs, the built-in drawing tool is the way to go. Google Docs does not let you stack images freely on the page itself, so the drawing canvas gives you the free positioning you need. Here are the steps to follow:
Step 1
Open Google Docs and sign in with your account. Select the Insert option from the menu and click on the Drawing option.
Step 2
A new window will open up. You can either choose to create a new drawing or insert an existing one from Google Drive. For our purposes, we will click on the + New option.
Step 3
Now you will see a new tab that will open up with a drawing canvas. You can now insert the images that you want to overlap. To do this, click on the Image icon and then select Image.
Step 4
Upload the image you want to insert from your PC or make use of the other options. You can also drag and drop the image into the drawing canvas.
Step 5
Once the image is uploaded, you can resize it by dragging the corners. To move the image, click on it and then drag it to the desired location.
Step 6
To add text on top of the image, click on the T icon. This will add a text box. Move the text box to the desired location and type in your text.
Step 7
If you want to add another image to overlap, do so following step 4 again. Make sure to resize and reposition the image as needed.
You can also add shapes or texts by clicking on the Shape or Text icon. To save your work, press “Save and Close” from the top-right of the screen.
