Locking an image to cell ensures that it will filter, hide, and move along with that cell. You would also have to lock the image to the cell to protect it. However, if you hide, resize, or delete that cell, row, or column, later, this could affect this image. It will then arrange itself and “snap” into that cell as it gets close to it. To place an image firmly in a cell, just hold down the ALT key, and then use your mouse to move that image into the cell. If you want to keep the same aspect ratio, only drag on one of the four corners for resizing. In the case of the baseball bat (above), this can be resized in this fashion. You can also manually resize an image by clicking on it and dragging any of its edges. If you simply click on your picture in Excel, your upper ribbon will default to this menu. The tools to do this are located under Picture Tools > Format.
You can add shading, framing, colored borders, picture effects, bring the image to the front of the text or put it in the background, resize, and rotate your image. Excel gives you the tools to format images in a variety of ways. Once you’ve inserted an image in Excel, you might want to make some changes to it.
If you want to insert several images at once, just hold down the CTRL key as you select images before hitting Insert. When the dialogue pop-up box appears, navigate to the image you want to insert into your spreadsheet and click Insert. To insert an image from your computer, start at the cell where you want the image to go and then go to the Insert tab and choose Pictures. If you have Excel 2013 or Excel 2016, you can also insert images from web pages and online storage locations such as Facebook, Flickr, and OneDrive.
