How to show pictures in emails
To show pictures in emails, you'll need to attach the images to the email or use a method that allows the recipient to view the images without having to download them. Here are a few ways to do it:
Method 1: Attaching images
- Compose your email as usual.
- Click on the "Attach file" or "Paperclip" icon in your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail).
- Select the image file you want to attach (e.g., JPEG, PNG, GIF).
- Click "Open" or "Attach" to add the image to the email.
- The image will be attached to the email and will be visible to the recipient when they open the email.
Method 2: Using HTML code
- Compose your email as usual.
- Use HTML code to embed the image in the email body. For example:
<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg" alt="Image description">
Replace
https://example.com/image.jpg
with the URL of the image you want to display.
Method 3: Using a hosting service
- Upload your image to a hosting service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Flickr.
- Share the public link to the image in your email.
- The recipient can click on the link to view the image without having to download it.
Method 4: Using a third-party service
- Use a third-party service like TinyPic, ImageShack, or Photobucket to host your image.
- Share the public link to the image in your email.
- The recipient can click on the link to view the image without having to download it.
Tips and considerations
- Make sure the image file is not too large, as this can cause issues with email delivery or slow down the recipient's email client.
- Use a descriptive file name and alt text for the image to help recipients who may not be able to view the image.
- Be mindful of email client limitations, such as Gmail's 25MB attachment limit.
- Consider using a service like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress your images before sending them, which can reduce file size and improve email delivery.
