How to automatically change all pictures to "Move and size with cells" in Excel?

Author Siluvia Last modified

By default, pictures inserted into an Excel worksheet are set to “Move but don’t size with cells,” meaning they remain the same size even when you adjust the cell dimensions. If you need pictures to resize and move along with their cells, you usually have to change this setting manually for each picture. However, there’s a quick method to set all pictures to “Move and size with cells” automatically using a simple VBA code. This article will guide you through it.
