Adding multiple photos to Pages document at one time

I want to add three images from my photos to a document on my iPad. I don’t want to add as an Image Gallery. A post from 2 years ago said “According to the Pages User Guide for iPad, ‘To work with multiple images at the same time, touch and hold one image, then tap the other images with another finger.’ That doesn’t work. Perhaps there is no way on the iPad to do that?

Hi Bonniedog,


In order to add an image to Pages on iPad, it would require you to complete the steps listed here: Add an image in Pages on iPad - Apple Support that are also listed below.


  1. "On the page where you want to add the image, tap the Add button in the toolbar, then tap the Media button.
  2. Tap Photo or Video.
  3. To insert an image from iCloud or another service, tap “Insert from.”
  4. Navigate to the image, then tap it.
  5. Drag any blue dot to resize the image.

You can also copy an image from another document or application."


Best regards.

Hi Bonniedog,


We tested the steps shared above and they should allow you to add multiple photos to a document, but you'd want to follow the steps for each individual photo: Add an image in Pages on iPad - Apple Support


  1. "On the page where you want to add the image, tap the Add button in the toolbar, then tap the Media button.
  2. Tap Photo or Video.
  3. To insert an image from iCloud or another service, tap “Insert from.”
  4. Navigate to the image, then tap it.
  5. Drag any blue dot to resize the image.


You can also copy an image from another document or application."


If that's not working for you, try restarting your iPad and try it again: Restart your iPad - Apple Support


If the issue persists, let us know exactly what's happening when you use those steps.


Best wishes.
