How to create notes with images

You can upload or paste image files into notes to save for later.

Your notes that contain image files can also contain text or a checklist.

Uploading image files into notes

Upload image files into new or existing notes.

You can upload image files into a new note with the New Note with Image button in the Take a Note... bar near the top of Google Keep:

To open your operating system's File Manager, click on the New Note with Image button.
To indicate which image files will upload, select those files with the Cursor in the File Manager.
To upload your image selection into the note, click the Open button near the bottom-right corner of the File Manager.
To save the note, click Close near the bottom-right corner of the note.

To add more image files to the same note, follow the steps in the next section.

You can upload image files into an existing note with the Add Image button near the bottom edge of that note:

To access the Add Image button
