1. **Open Google Docs** – Go to [docs.google.com](https://docs.google.com/) and open the document where the image is located.
2. **Click on the Image** – Click on the image you want to move to select it.
3. **Use the Drag-and-Drop Method** –
   
      - Once the image is selected, hover your cursor over the image.
      - Click and hold the image, then **drag it** to the new location where you want it to appear in your document.
4. **Use Image Options (Wrap Text)** –
   
      - If the image moves along with the text, click on the image and choose the **Wrap Text** option in the toolbar.
      - This allows you to move the image freely without affecting the surrounding text.
5. **Adjust Image Alignment (Optional)** –
   
      - For better placement, click on the image and select **Align Left**, **Align Center**, or **Align Right** in the toolbar.
6. **Resize the Image (Optional)** – If you need to resize the image, click and drag the corners to adjust its dimensions while maintaining the aspect ratio.
7. **Use the “Position Options” (Optional)** –
   
      - Right-click on the image and select **“Image options”**.
      - Under **Text Wrapping**, select the **“Break text”** or **“Behind text”** options for more control over how the image moves with text.
8. **Done** – Your image is now properly moved and positioned in the document. You can make additional adjustments anytime!
