Lock Images in Google Docs

To lock an image on Google Docs, follow the process below.

1. Insert the Image

First, insert the image into your document by clicking Insert > Image and selecting the image source (upload from your computer, the web, or Google Drive).

2. Select the Image

Once the image is inserted, click on the image to select it. This will display the image options toolbar above the image.

3. Set Text Wrapping to ‘Break Text’

In the image options toolbar, click on Text Wrapping and select “Break text.” This will allow you to move the image freely and change its position on the page, preventing it from moving along with the text.

4. Set the Image to ‘Fixed Position’

Once the text wrapping is set to “Break text,” you can now fix the image in place. Click on Position Options from the toolbar and select “Fixed position on page.” This will lock the image in place, ensuring it won’t shift even when text is added or edited around it.
