How to insert an image in a text file or document

Updated: 08/16/2021 by Computer Hope

A plain text file, such as a file with a .txt extension, can only have plain, unformatted text and no images inserted into it. If you are working with a plain text file, it needs to be converted into a file format that supports RTF (rich text format) before images can be added.

To convert the file to RTF, you can save the file in a different file format, such as .RTF or .DOC for users using Microsoft Word or WordPad. Once the file is converted, you can follow the steps below for inserting an image into the text file.

• Insert an image in Microsoft Word.
• Insert an image in WordPad.
• Insert an image in Google Docs.
• Insert an image into OpenOffice Writer.
• Insert an image into a text file.
• Other programs.
