Pasting images into your project

Before pasting an image into yoru project, make sure your main LaTeX file has loaded the graphicx package by writing \usepackage{graphicx} within its preamble.

You can paste single images into Visual Editor and Code Editor (but only Visual Editor provides an image preview). Pasting multiple images is not currently supported.

You can:

• Name the file used to save the pasted image.

• Choose the project folder in which to save it.

• Decide whether to use a figure caption.

• Decide whether to include a label (used for referencing the table).

• Configure the image width (as a fraction of \linewidth).

Any image you paste is saved as a .png file in your Overleaf project. It's then incorporated into your document using automatically generated LaTeX code. Visual Editor will provide a preview of the pasted image but Code Editor will display the LaTeX code only.
