How to Embed a Picture in Gmail
Inline images help to context your email communications. When used correctly, an integrated picture can help to brand your company and create confidence among your customers. Gmail allows you to include photos in your email messages.
However, how the embedded picture appears on the recipient’s end is primarily determined by the settings defined on the receiving device. Recipients can configure their email program to download only text and reject all incoming images. This protects against possibly harmful downloads.
