Copy the Image to Google Keep
The closest option to a built-in method for saving Google Docs images to your computer is to use the Google Keep note-taking website as a middleman. This is the quickest technique and is great if you need just an image or two.
Download the Doc as a Web Page
Google Docs lets you export the whole document as an HTML file, all pictures included. This method is ideal if you need the original quality photos or if you need to save several images at once. You could instead right-click the image as you see it there, and save it, but it won’t be the full-size image. To do this, go to File > Download > Web Page (.html, zipped). Extract the contents out of the ZIP file once it’s on your computer, and open the images folder to find all the pictures. From there, you can copy them elsewhere as you would any file.
Publish the Document to the Web
This will make the document more like a traditional web page so you can easily save the pictures like you can on any website.
Other Ways to Download Images From Google Docs
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t provide any intuitive or really quick methods for downloading images from a document. That said, the methods explained above are not your only options; they’re just the only ones built-in to Docs. You might’ve noticed that when you right-click a picture, there’s a Copy option. This isn’t the same as ‘save as,’ but if you also have Microsoft Word on your computer, the two can work together quite well to save the picture to your computer. Just paste the image into a Word document, right-click it, and choose Save as Picture. Or, to do this in bulk, download the Google document as a DOCX file, and then open that file in Word. If you don’t have Word or you want a more streamlined approach, the Images Extractor & Remover add-on works, too. The final suggestion we have is to use Google Lens. In Chrome, hold Shift, right-click anywhere on the page, and select Search images with Google Lens. From there, highlight the photo, and browse the results in the sidebar. Lens relies on a visual match versus saving the original image from the document, so it will find a match only if a lookalike is publicly available elsewhere online.
