How to insert multiple pictures into a Word document
Inserting multiple images into a Word document can be time-consuming if done one by one. Fortunately, Word provides a built-in feature to insert pictures manually, and Kutools for Word offers a more efficient way to insert images from multiple folders at once. This guide will walk you through both methods.

Insert pictures from a single folder using Word’s built-in feature
You can insert images from a folder into a Word document using the built-in Insert Picture utility. However, this method only allows you to insert images from one folder at a time. Follow these steps:
- Place the cursor where you want to insert the pictures, then click Insert > Pictures > This Device.
- The Insert Picture window will appear. Navigate to the folder containing the images you want to insert, select them, and click Insert.
Notes:
- To insert multiple pictures from the same folder, hold the Ctrl key while selecting images.
- To insert all pictures from the same folder, press Ctrl + A.
