# Inserting images

## Inserting images

Generally there are a few steps to inserting images and figures in Overleaf:

1. Provide the image file.
2. Provide the LaTeX code for including the image in the document.
3. Provide additional code or options for treating the image as a figure that can be captioned and referenced.

## Uploading images and writing LaTeX code

You can add images or figures by uploading the required files and then writing the LaTeX code to display them.

## Simpler ways to add images

You can use the Insert Figure button, copy and paste an image, or drag and drop an image from your local device to add a figure to your document.
