For some reason, you can not download images from a Google Document. Not sure why. It’s frustrating.
But there are a couple of workarounds. We describe them below.
Table of Contents
Download as webpage
Download the Google Document as a Web Page.
In the Google Document, click File > Download > Web Page.
The document is converted to HTML and zipped up. Images in the document will be in their own folder labeled images.
Download from Google Keep
Right-click the image in the Google Document and select “Save to Google Keep”.
Open Google Keep on the right-side panel of your Google Document. Or you can visit Google Keep.
Right-click the image in Google Keep and select “Save Image As”.
Download as Microsoft Word
Download the document as a Word Document.
In Google Document, click File > Download > Microsoft Word.
Open the document and right-click the image then select “Save Image As”.
Of course, you’ll need Microsoft Word on your computer.
Wraping up
Hopefully, Google Documents will allow this in the future. Until then, I hope this helps and reduces some frustration.
