    The workaround that works for me:  Open the image in Microsoft paint, then copy/paste from Paint to Visio. HTH.

    Hi,

    We had the problem with Visio 2013 SP1 (15.0.4569.1504) as well. When we installed update KB3114720 it upgraded Visio to version 15.0.4797.1000, and the problem was resolved. Hope this helps...

    Has anyone found a solution to this issue? This feature is an absolute must for me and it is not working. I suppose I will have to revert back to using the older version of Visio until this major issue has been resolved. I find it unacceptable that the original problem for this was posted almost 1 year ago and there has still not been an answer given on how to fix it (especially from Microsoft).

    Has this issue been resolved?  I am experiencing the same problem.  When I try to insert a .jpg into Visio 2013, the bounding box generated is blank (no picture). 

    Additionally, I tried to copy and paste the image into Visio, but the Paste function was not available (greyed-out).

    Thanks

    Hi Bryan,

    Apologies for the late response. It would really be helpful if you can share the image file that you are trying to import.

    Thanks & Regards,
