Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a photo in Adobe InDesign.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to add a photo in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To add a photo or image to your project in InDesign, navigate to the top menu bar and click 'File.'
  2. Select 'Place' to import a photo or image from an external source.
  3. Choose your photo to import and click 'OK.'‍
  4. You have successfully added a photo or image to InDesign. Resize the photo to your desired size.

📌 Why this matters

Adding photos transforms your InDesign documents from basic text layouts into compelling visual communications that capture attention and convey meaning more effectively. Beyond simple placement, this skill opens the door to sophisticated design workflows where you can create layered compositions, control image relationships with text wrapping, and build consistent visual hierarchies across multi-page documents.

The Place command also maintains live links to your source files, meaning when you update the original photo, your layout automatically reflects those changes throughout your entire project.
