To make this task a bit easier, you can lock an image into a fixed position in Google Docs.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose a spot for the image, adjust it relative to the top left of the page, or pick a quick layout. So when you add, delete, or move text, the image will stay exactly where you want it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_a_Fixed_Position_for_an_Image_in_Google_Docs\"><\/span>Set a Fixed Position for an Image in Google Docs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your image in the document, first, you\u2019ll decide how to line it up with the text surrounding it. You can choose to wrap the text, which will place it around the image, or break the text, which will place it above and below.<\/p>\n<p>Select the image to display the toolbar beneath it. Then, click either the Wrap Text or Break Text icon per your preference. For this how-to, we\u2019ll use Break Text.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730008\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ImageToolbarBreakText-GoogleDocs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Click Wrap Text or Break Text\" width=\"537\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, move over to the Position Options drop-down box in the toolbar. This likely displays as Move With Text. Click the drop-down and pick \u201cFix Position on Page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ImageToolbarFixPosition-GoogleDocs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select Fix Position on Page\" width=\"610\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Optionally, you can adjust the image margin in the toolbar. This determines how much space there is between the image and the surrounding text.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ImageToolbarMargin-GoogleDocs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Adjust the image margin\" width=\"650\" height=\"436\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now, you can give your fixed image position a test. If you edit the text around it, add another line, or move the text up, you\u2019ll notice that the image will stay in place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ImageFixedPosition-GoogleDocs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Image locked on page in Google Docs\" width=\"650\" height=\"238\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Position_the_Image_Relative_to_the_Top_Left\"><\/span>Position the Image Relative to the Top Left<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One adjustment that you can make to your image\u2019s fixed position is its distance from the top left of the page.<\/p>\n<p>Select the image to display the toolbar, click the three dots on the far right, and choose \u201cAll Image Options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-730013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ImageToolbarAllOptions-GoogleDocs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Click the three dots and pick All Image Options\" width=\"650\" height=\"415\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When the sidebar opens on the right, click to expand the Position section. Below Relative to the Top Left of Page, adjust the X and\/or Y values using the arrows or by entering the measurements in inches.
