How to add an image in Miro on an iPad

The Miro mobile app doesn’t offer as many ways to upload as it does on PC. In fact, there is only one way to upload in the Miro mobile app. It is directly through the application itself.

Here’s how to upload images to an iPad using this method:

1. Open the Miro app on your iPad.
   
2. In the lower left corner, tap the “Upload” icon. A menu will appear.
   
3. Select “My device.”
   
4. You will be given the option to take a new photo, upload it from the photo library, or choose files. Select “Photo Library.”
   
5. Select the image and press “Add.”
   
6. The image will now automatically upload to your workspace.
   

How to add an image in Miro on an iPhone

Unlike the iPad, an iPhone does not have access to multitasking mode. You can only upload directly from the mobile app. If you want to upload an image from your cloud service app, first download the file to your phone.

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 using the mobile app:

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

Save uploaded images to your PC library

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 load it into another workspace.

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

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

If the option to save the image is grayed out or does not appear, then you are not given the necessary rights to perform the desired action. The reason is that you are not a member of the Miro board of directors account. To gain access, ask the account owner to grant you rights.

Uploading easily with Miro

Once you upload your images, you can edit them using the tools in the Miro workspace. Ultimately, uploading images is simple and stress-free, with multiple methods to accomplish the task. Although mobile app users don’t have access to the same number of options, it does give them the option to upload.
