To move pictures from Google Docs to Google Photos, you'll essentially download the image from your Google Doc and then upload it to Google Photos. Here's how:
1. Download the Image from Google Docs:
- Open your Google Doc.
- Right-click on the image you want to move.
- Select "Download" (or a similar option like "Save to Keep," if applicable, and then download from Google Keep). The image will be downloaded to your computer, typically to your Downloads folder.
2. Upload the Image to Google Photos:
- Open Google Photos: Go to photos.google.com in your web browser.
- Click "Upload": Look for the "Upload" button, usually located in the top right corner of the screen. It may appear as "Import" and then "Computer."
- Select the Image: Choose the image you downloaded from your Google Doc. Navigate to your Downloads folder (or wherever you saved the image) and select the file.
- Upload and Organize: The image will be uploaded to your Google Photos library. You can then add it to albums, share it, or organize it as desired.
Alternative Method (If "Download" Option Isn't Available):
Sometimes, the "Download" option isn't directly available when you right-click on an image in Google Docs. In this case:
- Copy the Image: Right-click on the image and select "Copy."
- Paste into an Image Editor: Open an image editor on your computer (like Paint on Windows or Preview on Mac). Paste the image into the editor.
- Save the Image: Save the image from the editor as a JPEG or PNG file to your desired location.
- Upload to Google Photos: Follow the "Upload to Google Photos" steps outlined above.
Important Considerations:
- Image Quality: Downloading and re-uploading an image may slightly reduce its quality. To minimize this, save the image from the editor as a high-quality JPEG or PNG.
- Google Drive Sync: Google Photos can sync with Google Drive. However, directly dragging files from a Google Drive folder that contains Google Docs into Google Photos will not extract the images embedded in the Docs. You must download them individually as described above.
