How to Add Captions to Images in Google Docs

There are 4 ways to add captions to images in Google Docs:

  1. In-line text: Select the image and click the “In-line” option in the toolbar. Type your caption below the image.
  2. Drawing: Select the image and click “Insert” > “Drawing” > “New”. Click “Image” and upload the image you want to add a caption to. Click on the text box and type your caption.
  3. Table: Select the image and click “Insert” > “Table”. Create a 1×2 table. Insert the image in the top cell and your caption in the bottom cell.
  4. Comment: Select the image and click “Insert” > “Comment”. Type your caption in the comment box.

The best way to add a caption to an image depends on your preference and the number of images you are adding. If you are adding only a few images, in-line text is a quick and easy option. If you are adding a lot of images, a table or drawing may be a better option because you can organize the captions more easily.
