Google Docs and Presentation
- Drag and drop the image file you want to insert into the document.
Google Spreadsheets
- Copy the image you want to insert, click the cell, and paste the image.
Supported Image Formats
- WebP(.webp)
- BMP(.bmp)
- SVG(.svg)

Thanks so much to everyone for using it and sending feedback. Even with your support, I'm having trouble reproducing some of the bugs, so it's hard to fix them. I'll try to get these improvements out fast.

- Works perfectly. Feature request - remove the message saying "One or more image or video format is invalid or unsupported." when adding the files.

- Works; lets you add WebP to slides. Why hasn't Google done this by default? They invented WebP!

- I was getting really frustrated as to why copy and pasting into the menus of Gdocs or Gsheets wasn't working. It took me a while to figure out that the cause of this issue was this particular extension. Please fix this.

- Does not seem to work for webp files. I've tried on a Mac and Windows, for what it's worth. On a Mac you can at least open the webp file from either Chrome or Safari. Weird...

- This is an outstanding extension that has saved me a significant amount of time. I can now import SVG files into Google Docs without manually converting them to PNG files. This simple yet effective tool has saved me countless hours and dollars that I would have otherwise wasted.
