Use VBA to Insert Photos into Excel from URL

[@danilobunetto9143]

Hello, great tutorial. I'm using it. Thanks. What changes can I do to use the code to all the rows of a table and jumping the rows without a link?

[@lad1s1av7]

Excelent video in the term of detailed explanation of what are we doing so it helped me to understand how it works. Big thanks.

[@lad1s1av7]

I've tried also script to delete pictures as once they are inserted in a document is grows on it's size. But I'm unable to make it work. Tried multiple different scripts and also shape approach but pictures are not deleted, while all the other objects are. Like buttons, charts, etc. Tried even to consult it with ChatGPT but with no result.

[@dbknight3]

This is so helpful, thank you so much for doing this! I was wondering though, I was trying to accomplish this with a link to a file in my onedrive. I have a picture file in there that I have shared for everyone and I would like to use it for the image. It is giving me an error. Would there be a different procedure for that?

[@vjaska]

Very helpful tutorial, thanks - just one question, is there a way of changing the size of the picture in the VBA code so that the pictures don't reach the sides of the cell the picture is located in?

[@DSMStrength]

I am sorry I am not sure of a way right now

[@vjaska]

@@DSMStrength don't worry, managed to find the answer elsewhere. Thanks though, it was still a useful video

[@darkentbg]

This is MEGA awesome, is there a way to transport the images to another sheet? I tried to designate a sheet by going Sheets("my sheet name") instead of activesheet, but it doesnt work

[@ΓρηγόρηςΚαλαποθαράκος]

great video! how do I massively import images though? I mean what if I have 1000 products? it is impossible to copy-paste 1000 times the URL for each product. thank you very much.

[@turnswood]

I've been looking all over for something that does this. I didn't want to copy pictures in and then manipulate them, but from a link, fill in the picture from a link. I'm going to retrieve them from one of my disks, but it's still a hyperlink. Thanks a lot. Irv in Florida

[@DSMStrength]

glad it helped!!

[@Jojosmith342]

Excellent. Liked & definately subscribed. Thank you so much for your time to make this video. Could you please kindly teach us how to dynamically load photos from network drive based on user's input. Ex: There are hundreds thousands of products's photos, say user is searching for product #1, photo of this product ID will be loaded automatically from network drive. Thanks a lot for your help

gdrive image link is not the url of a file.. you might be able to get it to work with a sharing link? but you should prob upload file to g-photos

[@mofeidyousifhassan7625]

Hello! Thank you so much for the video, I have tried it multiple times but it didn’t run for me, it says”can’t execute code in break mode”, may I get some help please via WhatsApp or any other app, that’s convenient for you?, I need this so bad for work, I’ll be so grateful for your help🙏🙏

[@iiiiii-w8h]

What would happen if you edit one of the urls? What needs to be done in order for the pictures to update accordingly?

[@DSMStrength]

Delete pics and re run macro

[@daniellipkind4276]

Great content! For some reason mine macro doesn't work as quick. It takes a while to load all the images meanwhile yours took less than a moment. How come? (I use Excel 2016 and each image is less than 50 kb in size)

[@DSMStrength]

this can be due to several reasons including speed of your computer, other things going on in your spreadsheet, number of rows, number of pictures you are trying to run this script for etc. I kept my spreadsheet really lean for the purposes of the video.

[@elektriskietikli8497]

Thanks. This vba code is awesome. I add it as a module to my working file with a small modification, but i still can’t modify it to skip text (just text info, not hyperlink) at B4:B100 and load to C4:C100 text when in B cell is text and picture when in B cell is hyperlink.

ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(pic) doesn't work for images stored on aws S3 😥 error 1004

[@joethecockerspaniel5576]

Is there a way to do the same in MS Word?

[@satishbethina123]

You can increase font size from tools options

[@DSMStrength]

yes you can

[@JesperBryde-Nielsen]

It seems that there is some kind of security isse that was not in place when this was made. the 1004 errror that occures has sometthing to do with whether the link is open of not. i tried to open and keep the first 5 pictures open and then run script. That was the script imported the first 5 pictures but stopped after that. You only see the 1004 error if you delete the skip on error line

[@davidtc3373]

does it work with base64 format? please

[@DSMStrength]

unfortunately I do not know

[@hungbuihuu4006]

At first, Thank you so much for sharing a wonderful VBA, however if URL links are not available, VBA returns "Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the Insert property of the Picture class" Do yo have any suggestion to change VBA, in case of facing error links-> step over-> come to next row to insert photos

[@lemouga]

Hi Thanks for this I have the same question

[@DSMStrength]

I can maybe figure something out, TBH this video was a long time ago I would have to go back through the code. I would suggest that you clean up the data ahead of time before running the macro if possible.

[@hche6887]

Used the VBA code for an Image Template, but does anyone know what code to ADD to handle error if image not found, then proceed to finding the next link?

[@websitedownload713]

You can use our free screenshot API to securely render an image from any URL of your excel sheet. For example if you need a preview for many links.

[@osamasundhu1952]

Your video really helped me. I just have one request, how can i lock the aspect ratio of the original image so that regardless of how i change the cell size (row and column), the image will only change according to its original aspect ratio. Im doing this so that the rest of the images in each cell that arent all of the same aspect ratio, would not get disproportionate when I have to change the column and row sizes. Also i want to be able to keep the image in the cell from spilling over to the next cell. thanks in advance!

[@osamasundhu1952]

in other words i want the image inserted from the url to be scaled according to its original aspect ratio, so i think it should be locked.

[@murattaylanyenigun]

Thanks, but what if an empty row is there, how the code steps for next instead of stop running

[@murattaylanyenigun]

:) solved by myself, Set rng = Range("c4:c5,c7:c8") , skips the empty row of c6
