This procedure is for inserting an image file that you have on your computer. In our example, the user has a diagram that they want to insert into the page.

To insert an image file, follow the given steps:

1. On the Moodle page, click to place the insertion point where you want the image to appear.
2. Click on the Insert Image icon, as shown:

3. The Insert/Edit image window appears. In this window, click on the button labeled Find or upload an image.
4. The File picker window will be displayed. In this window, click on the Upload a file link.
5. Click on the Choose File button.
6. Locate the file on your computer and select it.
7. Click on the Open or OK button.
8. In the Save as... field, give the file a user-friendly name. You can use special characters and spaces.
9. The Author field is automatically filled in with your name. If someone else is the owner of this file, enter their name here.
10. From the drop-down list, choose a License for this file. This enables you to inform other Moodle teachers who want to use this file about what they can legally do with the file.
11. Click on the Upload this file button. The file is uploaded to your Moodle system and you are returned to the Insert/edit image window.

12. It is a good practice to fill in the Image description field. This is used by visually impaired users who can't see the image and by search engines to index the image.
13. If needed, fill out the fields under Appearance. You might want to resize the picture, since Moodle will, by default, display the picture at its original size.
14. Click on the Insert button. The picture is inserted into the page.
