Adding pictures and logos to a sheet in Grid by Zaweba
Insert PNG, JPEG, GIF or BMP pictures into a sheet in Grid by Zaweba, move and resize them, and keep them as real pictures when you save as .xlsx.
A logo at the top of an invoice, a product photo beside each line of a price list, a map on a sheet of directions, a scanned signature on a form. Pictures make a spreadsheet look finished and sometimes carry information numbers can't. Grid by Zaweba lets you place them directly on a sheet.
Inserting a picture
Grid inserts pictures in the common formats: PNG, JPEG, GIF and BMP. Once a picture is on the sheet you can move it by dragging, resize it from its edges and corners, and delete it when it's no longer needed.
PNG is the best choice for logos and anything with sharp edges or text, since it stays crisp. JPEG suits photographs. Keep file sizes sensible: a photo straight from a phone camera is far larger than it needs to be for a sheet, and resizing it in an image editor before inserting keeps the workbook light.
How pictures sit on the sheet
Pictures in Grid are anchored to whole cells. In practice that means a picture is tied to the grid of cells around it rather than floating freely over the sheet. It's worth planning your layout with that in mind: set row heights and column widths to suit the pictures, especially in a list where each row has its own photo, so each picture sits neatly in its row.
Saving and sharing
When you save as .xlsx, pictures are saved as real pictures inside the file, not flattened or dropped. Someone opening the workbook in another spreadsheet program sees them where you put them. Grid's own .zagr format, which is an .xlsx inside, keeps them too.
If you save as CSV, pictures are left out, as with all formatting, because CSV holds only values. That's expected for a plain data format.
Good uses
An invoice or quote template: put your logo in the top left, your details beside it, and protect the sheet so only the line items can be edited. Every invoice from that template carries the logo without extra work.
A price list or stock sheet: a small photo in the first column of each row helps customers and staff recognise items at a glance. Set a uniform row height first so the pictures line up.
A project or event sheet: a floor plan or a map next to a list of stands or locations keeps everything in one place, ready to print.
Printing with pictures
Use Print Preview before printing or exporting to PDF to check pictures fall where you expect on the page and aren't cut across a page break.
Pictures made with AI
If you've connected your own AI account with one that can create images, Generate picture on the AI menu places a new PNG on the sheet at the active cell. It's an optional extra; inserting your own pictures needs no account at all.
Pictures are a small part of a spreadsheet, but in Grid by Zaweba they're handled the way you'd want: easy to place, kept as real pictures, and saved properly for whoever opens the file next.
