Download and Save Images from Google Docs to Your Computer
Google has removed the ability to right-click the image and save it from Google Docs. This makes it difficult for people to download an image from the Google document. Fortunately, there are several methods one can use to get the job done. Read on.
1. Publish Doc and Save Image
One can use Google Doc’s built-in publish on the web feature to save images from the document. All you need to do is publish the document on the web, open the web link, and save images as you’d normally do from any website.
2. Save Doc as Web Page (Best for Multiple Images)
It can be tiresome to save each image manually. So, if you have multiple pictures in a Google Doc, it’ll be best to download it as HTML, wherein you’ll get access to all the images in the document, that too, in high quality.
3. Download as Word Document
Microsoft Word lets you save images normally by right-clicking on them and tapping Save Image. Since Google Docs gives you the option to download the doc as a Word (.docx) document, you can do the same on your PC, as follows:
4. Save Images from Google Docs Via Google Keep
This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to download and save an image from a Google Docs document. All you need is a couple of clicks, and boom, the image is saved on your computer in its original quality.
5. Save Google Docs Image by Taking Screenshot
The other option to save images from Google Docs is to take screenshots from within the document directly. To do so, open the document in Google Docs, and zoom the page to maximize the image on your screen to get a decent quality. Windows users can now use Print Screen or Snipping Tool to take a screenshot. On the other hand, Mac users can either use the screenshot tool or use the Shift + Command + 3 key combination to grab the screen. You can then crop out the image from the screenshot. Note that the image quality won’t be as impressive as the original one.
