STEP 3. Use the IMAGE() formula and add images to Google Sheets
If you open your Google spreadsheet, you will be able to find the image URLs where the images are being stored in the third and the fourth columns (Columns C, D).
Insert a new column to the right of Columns C and D, respectively.
Select the entire rows and adjust the height enough to insert images.
In this tutorial, we set the row height to 130 pixels.
Okay, now’s the time to use the image() function. Insert the following formula =image(”URL”, 1) to the first row of the newly added column (Column D). A “URL” refers to an address, so you can replace “URL” with the address in the first row and the third column as follows:
To fill the same formula hover your mouse over the bottom right corner of the first selected cell, then the cursor changes to a white plus sign. Drag the fill handle down to the cell you want to autofill.
Repeat this process for the fourth column (Column F) as below. The images will automatically appear. There you go! If you want to learn more about how to save product images in Google Sheets, check out our video tutorial on Listly TikTok.
