Easy Tech TutsHow to Insert LinkedIn Logo in Google Docs Easily 2026
By Impran M N
A professional resume or business card often needs a small, hyperlinked LinkedIn icon rather than a clunky pasted image. This guide shows how to find a transparent logo through Google Docs' built-in web search, resize it, and link it to your profile.
01Open the image search panel
Click Insert, hover over Image, and select 'Search the web' to open the sidebar search tool.
02Search for a transparent logo
Type 'LinkedIn logo PNG transparent' into the search field so the icon blends cleanly into your page background.
03Insert and resize the icon
Select a high-resolution result, click Insert, then drag the corner handles to shrink it to an appropriate size.
04Set text wrapping
Click the floating layout icon on the image and choose 'Wrap text' so the logo sits neatly alongside nearby text.
05Add your profile link
With the image selected, press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K), paste your LinkedIn profile URL, and click Apply to make the icon clickable.
