You can include images by adding them to a text cell, using the appropriate Markdown syntax.
There are several ways to do this:
Copy and paste
Copy the image on your computer
On Windows, you can use Ctrl + C for this.
On Mac, you can use Cmd + C .
Paste the image into a text cell in your notebook
On Mac, you can use Cmd + V .
On Windows, you can use Ctrl + V for this.
The image will be uploaded to your workbook filesystem, and the required markdown syntax to display the image will be added where your cursor is.
Drag and drop the image on your computer into the text cell that you want to contain the image. The image will be uploaded to your workbook filesystem, and the required markdown syntax to display the image will be added where your cursor is.
Manually upload the file and point to it in the text cell:
Open the file browser from the menu bar: "File > Show workbook files"
Upload the image you want to include. The filename cannot contain spaces. If it does, change the filename using the rename functionality.
In the text cell, add  (in this example, the filename of the image that is being included is my_image.png).
You can easily make screenshots and add them to your notebook:
Take the screenshot and copy it to your clipboard.
On Windows, you can use Windows + Shift + S for this.
On Mac, you can use Cmd + Ctrl + Shift + 4 for this.
Paste the screenshot into your text cell
On Windows, you can use Ctrl + V for this.
On Mac, you can use Cmd + V for this.
The screenshot will be uploaded to your workbook files, and the required markdown syntax to display the image will be added where your cursor is.
If you already have an image file in your workbook, and want to display that in your notebook, add  to a text cell. In this example, the filename of the image that is being included is my_image.png. Note that the filename should not contain spaces for this to work!
Using the <img> HTML element inside a text cell to include an image will work in the editor, but the image will not render correctly in a publication. This is a limitation we're planning to fix.
In a text cell, click the icon and select the file from your filesystem. The image will be uploaded to your workbook filesystem, and the required markdown syntax to display the image will be added where your cursor is.
In a text cell, add the following text (in this example, the image is available on ):
