How to Add an Image in Miro on an iPhone

Unlike the iPad, an iPhone doesn’t have access to multitasking mode. You are only able to upload directly from the mobile app. If you want to upload an image from your cloud service app, download the file to your phone first.

How to Add an Image in Miro on an Android Device

Like the iPhone, you can only upload images directly from your Android device using the mobile app. Here’s how to upload an image with the mobile app:

1. In the bottom right corner, tap the “+” icon. A menu will appear.
   
2. Select “upload”. You will be given the option to take a new photo, choose one from your gallery, or upload one you’ve copied on your clipboard.
   
3. Your selected images will appear on your workspace.
   

Saving Your Uploaded Images to Your Library On Your PC

Once you’ve uploaded an image to Miro, you can save it to your library. This allows you to access the image without having to upload it to another workspace.

To save uploaded images to your Miro library, follow these steps:

1. Click on your uploaded image to select it.
   
2. On the pop-up menu, select the “…” icon to open a dropdown menu.
   
3. Select “Add to Saved Files” at the top of the menu.
   
4. To access your saved files, go to the “Upload” menu and select “Saved Files.” You can access your saved image here.
   

If the option to save the image is greyed out or doesn’t appear, then you aren’t granted the necessary rights to perform the desired action. The reason being, you aren’t a member of the Miro board’s account. To gain access, ask the owner of the account to grant you rights.

Uploading Ease With Miro

Once you upload your images, you’ll be able to edit them using Miro’s workspace tools. Ultimately, uploading images is simple and stress-free, with multiple methods to perform the task. Even though mobile app users don’t have access to the same number of options, it does give you the option to upload.
