The header and footer in Excel can be used for more than just text, however. If you wish to include a picture at the bottom of every page, or if you want to watermark your worksheet, then you can do so in a manner similar to that used for text. Our guide below will show you how to add an image to the footer of every page of your worksheet in Excel 2013.  

These steps are repeated below with picture – Step 1: Open your Excel file in Excel 2013.   Step 2: Click the Insert tab above the navigational ribbon.

    Step 3: Click the Header & Footer button found in the Text section of the navigational ribbon.

    Step 4: Click on the section of the footer where you want to add the picture.

    Step 5: Click the Design tab under Header & Footer Tools.

    Step 6: Click the Picture button in the Header & Footer Elements section of the ribbon. Note the Format Picture button to the right of it, as you may need to return here later if you wish to adjust the size, cropping, brightness, or contrast of the picture.

    Step 7: Select the location that contains your picture.

    Step 8: Find your picture, then click the Insert button.

    You should now see text in the footer that says &[Picture]. If you double-click in a cell in the worksheet, you will exit the Header & Footer view and return to normal. You should then see your footer image behind your worksheet. If you open the Print menu you will see how the printed page will look in Print Preview.   Are you having difficulty getting your spreadsheet to properly fit to one page?
