How to open background image in outlook mail

By default, Outlook doesn't allow you to open background images in emails. However, there are a few workarounds to achieve this:

Method 1: Use a link to the image

  1. Right-click on the image and select "Copy image location" (or "Copy image URL" in some browsers).
  2. Open a new email in Outlook and paste the image URL into the body of the email.
  3. Format the text to make the image appear as a link. You can do this by selecting the text and clicking on the "Hyperlink" button in the "Home" tab of the ribbon.

Method 2: Use a third-party add-in

There are several third-party add-ins available that allow you to open background images in Outlook. Here are a few options:

  1. Outlook Image Viewer: This add-in allows you to view images in the background of an email. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.
  2. Image Viewer for Outlook: This add-in provides a toolbar in Outlook that allows you to view images in the background. You can download it from the Outlook Add-ins website.
  3. Background Image Viewer: This add-in allows you to view background images in Outlook and also provides features like image zoom and rotation. You can download it from the Background Image Viewer website.

Method 3: Use a workaround with HTML code

If you're comfortable with HTML code, you can use a workaround to display a background image in Outlook. Here's an example:

  1. Create a new email in Outlook and switch to HTML mode by clicking on the "Format Text" button in the "Home" tab of the ribbon and selecting "HTML".

  2. Add the following code to the body of the email:

    <style>
body {
 background-image: url('https://example.com/image.jpg');
 background-size: cover;
 background-position: center;
}
</style>

    Replace https://example.com/image.jpg with the URL of the image you want to display.

  3. Save the email and send it to the recipient.

Note that this method may not work in all versions of Outlook, and the image may not display correctly if the recipient's email client doesn't support HTML code.

I hope these methods help you achieve your goal!
