How add images of different size to Android Studio easily?

I got the following images from design and I would like to add them to my Android Studio project. They are the same image for different sizes.

enter image description here

I remember I was able to drag and drop them into the file directory in AS and they will fall into the right folders. However, it’s now saying these folder already existing and I cannot drag and drop them.

My question: is there an easy way to import these images besides drag and drop each one individually?

    Ok then You may try this
    Copy the image from your local folder and right-click on the folder of the AS project you want to add the image and select paste.

    You can change the size at first you create that image.

    I understand your question and I will answer, but let us go a little deeper into this rationale. You need to create images for screens with different sizes.

    1 . SVG file :

    I suggest you use images in SVG format. They can work well on all screens.

    File > New > Vector asset

    2 . Use plugin ( Material Design Icon Generator ) :

    This plugin help you to set material icon in your app resources. Its also generate vector icons that work well on all screens . Here is page of this plugin :

    3 . Copy & Paste :

    Move your images to the following folders (create them if they do not exist):

    src/main/res/drawable
src/main/res/drawable-hdpi
src/main/res/drawable-mdpi
src/main/res/drawable-xhdpi
src/main/res/drawable-xxhdpi
src/main/res/drawable-xxxhdpi
