Images
An image tile places a picture on a worksheet, next to your charts. Use it for a logo, a diagram, or anything else that gives a sheet context without being data.
What it is
An image tile holds one picture and can be moved and resized like a chart.
When to use it
- You want a logo or a title graphic on the sheet you present from.
- You want a diagram that explains something the charts cannot, such as a process or an org structure.
- You want a picture as a visual anchor on a dashboard.
For text rather than a picture, use a text tile instead. Both are listed under Others in the chart type selection. See Chart Types.
Configuration
- Open the sheet you want the image on.
- Add a chart and find the Image option under the Others group of the selection.
- The Upload Image dialog opens.
- Choose a file from your computer.
If you cancel the dialog, the tile stays empty. Click Upload image in the middle of the tile to open the dialog again.
The Title field at the top of the dialog sets the tile’s title.

Good to know
- A CMYK file will not upload, even in a supported format. Convert it to RGB first. This catches print-ready logos most often.
- 1 MB is the hard limit, so a large photograph usually needs compressing before it will upload.
- GIF is not supported. The file picker offers PNG, JPG and JPEG only. Convert an animated GIF to a still PNG first.
- Images are not data. Nothing in an image tile updates when a scenario or the model changes.
