It’s easy to add an image to your document in Google Docs, but including a caption is another story. Until Google adds a caption feature to Docs, here are a few ways you can create and add captions to your photos.
Depending on your preference, the number of images, and whether you want to caption each image uniquely, there are four ways to make it happen. You can add inline text, create a drawing, use a table, or try an add-on.

Caption Your Image Using Inline Text
The simplest option is to use an inline format for your picture and add the text below the image. This assumes that you’ve already inserted your image.
Select the image and click “In Line” in the toolbar.
Place your cursor below the image and type the text for the caption. You can then select the text and format its size, alignment, and style using the top toolbar.
Caption Your Image Using a Drawing
While the above method for adding a caption works well enough, it doesn’t keep the caption with the image. So if you plan to move things around in your document, you might like the Drawing option better. For this option, you’ll start without the image in your document.
Put your cursor in the document where you want your image and caption. Then, click Insert > Drawing > New from the menu.
Click the “Image” button in the toolbar and upload, search for, or add the URL for the image.
Once your image is in the drawing, click “Text Box” in the toolbar.
Draw the text box and then type your caption into it. You can format your text with the font options in the toolbar if you like. You can then drag the text box to position it evenly with your image.

Click “Save and Close.” Your image (with its caption) will pop into your document. You can then move it where you like, and the caption will stay with the image.
