Hello -
I can't get images to drag directly from a website into Keynote anymore. They appear as text boxes with their URLs instead. I have to save the image onto my desktop and insert from there. I couldn't find any fixes for this issue and have tried restarting. Anyone else come across this?
macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Keynote 8.3
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13
Hi, cayuen,
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post, you're trying to drag and drop pictures from websites into a Keynote presentation, but when you do it just puts the link of the image instead of the image itself. I'm happy to help!
Per Keynote for Mac: Add and edit images in Keynote, dragging and dropping from websites without saving to your computer first is possible. Since it's not working for you, even after restarting, I'd suggest trying the following steps:
If you still have trouble, don't hesitate to respond back.
Cheers!
Right click on the website image, and from the contextual menu, select Copy Image. In Keynote, just right-click and select Paste. Then visit the Arrange tab, and set Text Wrap to None, so you can move that image around for better placement.
Forget about drag/drop of website images into Keynote.
