Docs and Slides: add images on the go
May 13, 2015
From company meetings to school reports, pictures play an important part in telling your story. Today’s updates to Docs and Slides for Android and iOS help you work with images more easily, even when you’re on the go.
Insert images
Now you can add pictures to your documents and
presentations
, directly from your phone or tablet. Choose an image from your camera roll, or take a new photo on the spot.
Picture perfect
When you’re creating a presentation away from your desk, double tap any image in Slides to enter crop mode. From there, trim the sides of your image, or tap the
mask image
icon to crop it into a specific shape.
No connection required
Your work doesn’t stop when your data connection does. Today’s improvements to Docs and Slides will remain available when you’re offline. You’ll just need the updated mobile apps.
Give these new tricks a try, and start adding images from just about anywhere—at work, in the air, or on the train ride home. The updated Docs and Slides apps are available now on
Google Play
and the App Store (
Docs
,
Slides
).
