Insert image in Impress with original proportions?

How do I insert an image into Impress image placeholder retaining original proportions? I do not want to resize it manually every time

Can you please more specific about “image placeholder”. Please edit your question.

I fully understand OP’s question, having come here in pursuit of an answer to the same question. I’m not sure how there’s anything unclear in ‘placeholder’ (even if it’s not Librespeak).

I hope you’re still around to read this. By experimentation I’ve found a simple way to drag and drop images into Impress.

Drag the image from the file explorer, and as you cross into Impress, press and hold the Ctrl key. That creates a placeholder (handles) on the image, and it won’t fill the whole screen, distorted. It keeps its proper shape.

Good luck!
