1]显示或隐藏指南
由于它是一种手绘工具,因此指南(Guides)可帮助您将所有元素对称地放置在图像中。无论是用于学校项目还是办公室演示,对称放置的物体看起来都比其他物体好得多。Google 绘图(Google Drawings)有一个称为指南(Guides)的选项,您可以使用它在屏幕上获得一些水平和垂直线。之后,您可以使用它们相应地放置所有元素。
要在Google 绘图上显示(Google Drawings)指南(Guides),请转到 View > Guides > Show guides。
现在,您可以使用鼠标选择特定行并根据您的要求移动它。要添加更多参考线,您可以转到 View > Guides > Add horizontal guide 线或 添加垂直(Add vertical guide)参考线。
2]旋转文本,图像和形状
在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中添加文本、图像或形状很常见,您可以经常使用它们来丰富绘图或图片。但是,有时您可能希望将图像或文本旋转到一定程度以适合某个位置。为此,请执行以下操作:
- 通过单击选择要旋转的文本、形状或图像。
- 转到 Format > Format options。
- 展开 右侧的尺寸和旋转 部分。(Size & Rotation )
- 更改角度(Angle)或单击旋转图标。
您可以使用 角度 (Angle )工具设置特定的旋转,并使用旋转图标将图像旋转 90 度。
3]在形状中插入文本
在形状中插入文本有两种方法,您必须根据自己所处的情况使用其中一种方法。第一种方法相对简单,但它不允许您在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)提供的所有形状中插入文本. 您可以在将其添加到页面后立即在此方法中双击形状以查找文本框。然后,您可以开始编写您的内容。此方法的缺点是您无法旋转文本或更改格式。
第二种方法涉及 文本框(Text box),它是Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中的专用选项。要使用此方法,请在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中插入形状并首先进行所有更改。然后,转到“ Insert > Text box ,然后使用鼠标选择要在形状内显示文本的位置。
现在,您可以开始以形状书写文本。此方法可让您添加任何形状的文本并分别更改形状和文本的格式,为您提供更大的灵活性。
4]在表格/图像中插入形状
与形状中的文本不同,只有一种方法可以在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中的表格或图像中插入形状。为此,请执行以下操作:
- 转到 Insert > Image 以选择图像或将图像上传到Google 绘图(Google Drawings)。
- 或转到 Insert > Table 以在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中插入表格。
- 转到 Insert > Shape 并选择要插入的形状。
- 使用鼠标开始在图像或表格内绘制形状。
就像说的那样简单。现在您可以分别更改形状和图像/表格的样式或格式。
5]插入饼图
如果您想在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中插入饼图或柱形图或条形图,则必须借助Google 表格(Google Sheets)。由于Google 绘图(Google Drawings)不托管源数据,因此它依赖于Google 表格(Google Sheets)。但是,在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中添加饼图非常容易。为此,请执行以下操作:
- 转到 Insert > Chart > Pie。
- 单击(Click)图表右上角可见的链接图标。
- 选择 开源 (Open source )选项。
- 它会打开Google 表格(Google Sheets),您可以在其中编辑源数据。
但是,如果要更改图表的颜色,可以单击饼图 > 展开 右侧的重新着色 部分 > 展开下拉列表,然后选择您喜欢的不同颜色组合。(Recolor )
6]从谷歌表格导入图表
假设您已经有一个包含所有数据的Excel电子表格,并且您希望根据该数据创建一个饼图或条形图。为此,请执行以下操作:
- 如果您在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中有该文件,请跳过此步骤。
- 如果您在Google 表格(Google Sheets)中没有电子表格,请打开 drive.google.com 并上传文件。
- 打开谷歌绘图。
- 转到 Insert > Chart > From Sheets。
- 单击(Click)您上传的源文件或电子表格。
- 单击 选择 (Select )按钮。
- 再次,选择可见图表并单击“ 导入 (Import )”按钮。
现在您可以在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)页面上看到图表或图形。
7]插入图
Google 绘图(Google Drawings)允许您插入各种图表,使您的页面看起来更好。有六种不同的样式 - Grid、Hierarchy、Timeline、Process、Relationship和Cycle。每个类别至少有五种不同的样式可供您选择。

- 使用鼠标选择文本。
- 转到 Format > Format options。
- 勾选 右侧的阴影 框。(Drop shadow )
- 展开它以更改透明度、角度、距离和模糊半径。
唯一的问题是您不能一次将相同的阴影应用到多个文本框。
9]添加透明图像水印
如果您想用您的企业徽标为您的图片添加水印,可以在Google 绘图(Google Drawings)中进行。您需要做的就是更改不透明度级别。(All)为此,请执行以下操作:
- 转到 Insert > Image 并选择一个图像源以将其插入到Google Drawings中。
- 单击此图像以选择它。
- 转到 Format > Format options。
- 展开 调整 (Adjustments )部分。
- 使用 鼠标使用透明度 栏来更改不透明度。(Transparency )

Google Drawings on the web Tutorial, Tips, and Tricks
If you are a beginner and want to learn how to use Google Drawings effectively, here are some best tips and tricks for you.
- Show or hide guides
- Rotate text, image and shape
- Insert text in shape
- Insert shapes in table/image
- Insert pie chart
- Import chart from Google Sheets
- Insert diagram
- Add drop shadow to text
- Add transparent image watermark
To learn more about these tips and tricks, continue reading.
1] Show or hide guides
As it is a free-hand drawing tool, Guides help you place all the elements symmetrically in your image. Whether it is for a school project or office presentation, symmetrically placed objects look much better than others. Google Drawings has an option called Guides that you can use to get some horizontal and vertical lines on your screen. Following that, you can use them to place all your elements accordingly.
To show the Guides on Google Drawings, go to View > Guides > Show guides.
Now you can use your mouse to select a particular line and move it as per your requirements. To add more guides, you can go to View > Guides > Add horizontal guide or Add vertical guide.
2] Rotate text, image and shape
Adding text, image, or shape in Google Drawings is common, and you may use them frequently to enrich the drawing or picture. However, there could be times when you want to rotate the image or text to a certain degree to fit in a position. For that, do the following:
- Select the text, shape, or image that you want to rotate by clicking on it.
- Go to Format > Format options.
- Expand the Size & Rotation section on your right side.
- Change the Angle or click on the rotate icon.
You can use the Angle tool to set a particular rotation and use the rotate icon to rotate the image by 90 degrees.
3] Insert text in shape
There are two ways to insert text in shape, and you have to use either method based on the situation you are in. The first method is comparatively easy, but it doesn’t allow you to insert text in all the shapes that Google Drawings offers. You can double-click on the shape in this method right after adding it to the page to find the text box. Then, you can start writing your content. The disadvantage of this method is that you cannot rotate the text or change the formatting.
The second method involves a Text box, which is a dedicated option in Google Drawings. To use this method, insert the shape in Google Drawings and make all the changes first. Then, go to the Insert > Text box and choose where you want to show the text inside your shape using the mouse.
Now, you can start writing your text in shape. This method lets you add text in any shape and change the formatting of shape and text separately, giving you more flexibility.
4] Insert shapes in table/image
Unlike text in shape, there is only one way to insert shapes in a table or image in Google Drawings. For that, do the following:
- Go to Insert > Image to choose or upload an image to Google Drawings.
- Or go to Insert > Table to insert a table in Google Drawings.
- Go to Insert > Shape and select a shape that you want to insert.
- Use your mouse to start drawing the shape inside the image or table.
It is as simple as said. Now you can change the style or formatting of shape and image/table separately.
5] Insert pie chart
If you want to insert a pie chart or column chart, or bar graph in Google Drawings, you have to take the help of Google Sheets. As Google Drawings doesn’t host the source data, it relies on Google Sheets. However, adding a pie chart in Google Drawings is pretty easy. For that, do the following:
- Go to Insert > Chart > Pie.
- Click on the link icon visible on the top-right corner of your chart.
- Select the Open source option.
- It opens Google Sheets, where you can edit the source data.
However, if you want to change the chart’s color, you can click on the pie chart > expand the Recolor section on your right-hand side > expand the drop-down list, and select a different color combination that you like.
6] Import chart from Google Sheets
Let’s assume that you already have an Excel spreadsheet containing all the data, and you want to create a pie chart or bar graph based on that data. For that, do the following:
- If you have the file in Google Sheets, skip this step.
- If you don’t have the spreadsheet in Google Sheets, open drive.google.com and upload the file.
- Open Google Drawings.
- Go to Insert > Chart > From Sheets.
- Click on the source file or the spreadsheet that you uploaded.
- Click on the Select button.
- Again, select the visible chart and click on the Import button.
Now you can see the chart or graph on your Google Drawings page.
7] Insert diagram
Google Drawings allows you to insert various diagrams that make your page look better. There are six different styles – Grid, Hierarchy, Timeline, Process, Relationship, and Cycle. Each category has at least five different styles that you can select.
To insert a diagram in Google Drawings, do the following:
- Go to Insert > Diagram.
- Choose a diagram style on your right side.
- Select the level of your diagram.
- Click on a diagram to insert it.
- Click on the text to edit it.
For your information, you can add multiple diagrams and add different styles as per your requirements.

8] Add drop shadow to text
If you insert text on an image or shape, adding a drop shadow can make it look different or highlight a particular text. It is possible to add a drop shadow to the text, and you can do that by following these steps:
- Select the text using your mouse.
- Go to Format > Format options.
- Tick the Drop shadow box on the right side.
- Expand it to change transparency, angle, distance, and blur radius.
The only problem is that you cannot apply the same drop shadow to multiple text boxes at once.
9] Add transparent image watermark
If you want to watermark your image with your business logo, it is possible in Google Drawings. All you need to do is to change the opacity level. For that, do the following:
- Go to Insert > Image and choose an image source to insert it in Google Drawings.
- Click on this image to select it.
- Go to Format > Format options.
- Expand the Adjustments section.
- Use the Transparency bar using your mouse to change the opacity.
You can also change the image brightness and contrast using the same tool.
How to make an image background transparent in Google Drawings
Open a Google Draw file. Upload your image and then select it. Next, go to Format Options > Adjustments. You will see a slider bar for Transparency, Brightness and Contrast. Make changes according to your needs.
How do I improve Google drawing quality & make a picture clearer?
Google Drawings lets you download the picture in different formats, including JPG and PNG. If your image has more text than shape, it is recommended to choose the PNG format. On the other hand, if your image has more shapes, watermarks, etc., it is better to go with JPG format.
How do you put a background on Google Drawings?
Although there is no dedicated option to put a background on Google Drawings, you can insert the background image or shape first or even before adding the first object. Alternatively, you can right-click on an image > Order > use Send backward or Send to back option.
How do you do word art on Google Drawings?
To insert word art in Google Drawings, you can go to Insert > Word art. Then, write down the text and press the Enter button. Now, you can see your word art on your screen. It is possible to edit the word art using the Format options.
How can you improve the resolution of a drawing?
To improve the resolution of a drawing, you have to set the page first. For that, you should know your object’s height/width or dimension. Then, open a new Google Drawings page > go to File > Page setup and choose an aspect ratio according to that.
How do you blur in Google Drawings?
As of now, there is no dedicated option to blur images or text in Google Drawings. However, if you want to hide sensitive information visible on an image, you can add a shape to that text and use a deep color to hide it.
How to combine two images in Google Drawings?
If you want to combine two images in Google Drawings, you have to insert both of them one after one and use the mouse to place them side by side. However, there is no option to merge them as you can do in more professional software such as Photoshop or GIMP.
These are some of the best tips and tricks to use Google Drawings effectively on the web. Hope you found them helpful.
