How to Embed Images from Google Form Responses in Documents

Embedding images from Google Form responses into documents can be achieved in different ways, depending on your needs and level of automation:

Method 1: Using Document Studio Add-on (Automated)

1. Set up the Form:
   • In your Google Form, add a "File upload" question and enable the "Insert as image" option.
2. Create a Template Document:
   • Build your document template in Google Docs with placeholders for the images. Use the marker {{ Embed IMAGE }} where you want the image to appear.
3. Install Document Studio Add-on:
   • Get the add-on from the Google Marketplace and connect it to your form and template.
4. Automate Embedding:
   • Configure Document Studio to automatically generate documents based on form responses. It will replace the markers with uploaded images.

Method 2: Manual Embedding (Individual Documents)

1. Download Image URLs:
   • Access your form responses in Google Sheets. Locate the column containing image URLs.
2. Download Images:
   • Manually download the images from their URLs to your device.
3. Insert Images in Documents:
   • Open your target document (e.g., Google Docs, Word).
   • Insert the downloaded images manually at the corresponding locations.

Method 3: Semi-Automated Embedding (Multiple Documents)

1. Extract URLs with Google Sheets Formula:
   • If your URLs are comma-separated in one cell, extract individual URLs using the SPLIT formula with ARRAYFORMULA.
2. Use Markers with Extracted URLs:
   • Create marker variations like {{ Embed IMAGE_1 }}, {{ Embed IMAGE_2 }}, etc., corresponding to extracted URLs.
3. Combine with Method 2:
   • Use these markers in your document template and manually insert images based on downloaded URLs.

Additional Tips:

• Consider privacy aspects if images contain sensitive information.
• Optimize image sizes for efficient document handling.
• Explore alternative add-ons like Form Publisher for different functionalities.
