As a work around:
- Created a google drawing in google docs
- Inserted the original picture into the drawing
- Published the drawing as high quality
- Copy the URL to your clipboard
- Go back to your project, right click the picture and added a _top window link to the drawing you just created
Go back to your project dashboard, right click the blurry image and paste the URL into the image property.
When someone is viewing the previewed image, the cursor will change into a hand.
They can click on the image, a larger image will be displayed.
Perhaps judges will be provided with higher fidelity images. Comments below indicate they will not. This is very bad for them as previewed images are very poor.
Hope u can follow and all goes well
I followed all suggestions. No matter what I do Google Slides reiszes my photos and adds compression to them. I remember very clearly being able to download as pdf with complete losslessness. If the lossless option is not brought back I will have to retire my use of Google Slides.
I also want to add that Google has been doing this a lot. Giving users a feature and for no known reason removing it again. It really makes me loose confidence in Google.
how about... Insert Image.
You get the same problem in Excel and there's a setting in properties. I'm not seeing anything similar for Google Slides.
Did anyone ever get an official response on this? Seems to have been going on for a while.
I can't believe that I'm going to say this but it's actually easier to do this in Word. Surely you can improve this Google.
You would notice the image quality is much better.
This is still a problem for me too. Images are blurry. Same result when using Insert Drawing or Insert Image.
Hope this can be fixed soon.

Following the html code of this page the dimensions for the top image are 1643px x 184px, However, the image required must be 200px H
After creating a customized graphic with the right dimensions, both 1643px x 184px and 1643px x 200px are still distorted = pixelated.
Very frustrating indeed, I'm back to the old forms.
I was trying to add a full page image to my document but when I try and resize it (because it leaves a gap at the top) it just teleports down!
Please help
Prepared a JPG to size with Res of 72DPI. Optimised and compressed with tinypng.com
Dragged to inline gmail and the ghosting on text is drastic!
I hope they add the feature soon
Cheers!
Great solution!!!!!!!!!
Completely fixed the problem.
Save the image to your google drive, then import the image using the google drive button. (Not from desktop or URL).
SORTED!!!!
Thanks so much.
I uploaded the image to google drive and inserted the image from the "google drive" tab. This fixed it.

I found that I had no free C: drive space (Windows 7 machine), cleaning up my drive fixed me and now pasting images works fine.
Note: Adding the drive file through the drawing feature in Google Docs still results in a pixelated image.
Hope this helps.
It's the year 2018, we have connection speeds of over 12mb/s almost anywhere that is populated, SVG format is gaining recognition, the internet has evolved to support mobile more than desktops and beyond HD with video - and yet Google is still doing this.
The optimization is VERY aggressive. It's the equivalent of opening your image in Photoshop, exporting via save for web, reducing dimensions to something under 500px wide and kicking the optimization all the way up to the preset "JPEG LOW" - which is 0 quality on a scale of 100. This is all about saving bandwidth, and bandwidth is about money.
Universal support of webfonts in email? Still not a thing? Really?
Everything about email, everywhere, just sucks. I'd pay a premium price to get around this, but it shouldn't be an issue. The sick thing is, I bet they're saving a copy of the unoptimized files we're putting inline. Every time we do this. Because data mining.
When you don't pay for a product, what is the product? You are.
Dear Google,
1. Rather than spending all your time tweaking the GUI for ChromsOS and Android.... please spend more time fixing things.
2. Don't make more new stuff until you've made the old stuff fit for purpose!
I pay for Google services through my various subscriptions, so I don't want to hear "stop complaining, you're getting it all for free".
Yours,
A frustrated customer
I understood your frustration, I found a solution after being so frustrated. Instead of inserting the image as instructed on google site, you may use "embed" function there.
1) Take your picture to Google Drive.
2) Go to the Google Drive (web) and copy the link of your picture.
3) Use Embed function and paste the link of your picture there, then click Insert
4) Move your picture anywhere you like!
Hope it helps.
Hi,Once you've added images you should be able to change the size by right clicking and selecting image properties.Good luck!Hannah
Change the format to jpg by some apps then problem is solved
Remember, even your current format is .jpg but it might be very diff from standard, should use app to export and keep same quality
