Add Shapes in Google Docs Using Images
This is just an extension of the above method. This time, we will first download the shape as an image onto our system and then upload it to the Google doc, unlike the previous method where we were directly inserting the shape from Google using the search the web option.
Step 1: Search Shape
Go to Google and search for the desired shape.
Step 2: Download the Shape
Download the shape as a .jpeg or .png image by right-clicking and choosing the save as image option.
Step 3: Go to Insert and Select Upload from Computer
Now head over to the Google Docs where you want to insert the shape. Under the insert tab, go to Image and choose. Upload from the computer option from the drop-down.
Step 4: Choose the Shape
A pop-up will open from which you can choose the shape you saved in the second step. Click open.
