How to insert an image in to the email body in Outlook online, the Outlook For Windows app and Outlook Classic that’s a part of Microsoft Office.
Adding pictures in emails makes them more appealing and less text heavy. A photo adds the personal touch and images can help explain something much easier than mere text alone.
How To Add A Picture Into Emails In Outlook 365 And The Outlook For Windows App.
Outlook 365 is the online (webmail) version and the Outlook for Windows app is the free email client that’s built into Windows.
They’re almost identical to use since they look more or less the same and have the same functionality.
To insert an image into the body of an email log in to your Outlook account or open the Outlook for Windows app.
Click the New Email button in the top left hand corner of the window.
Add the usual email details (address, subject and message).
Then position the cursor where in the message body you want to insert the picture.
The top left corner of the image will start at the cursor.
Insert Pictures
When you’re ready to add an image to your outlook email, click the Insert button on the top toolbar. Then click Pictures.
That’ll open a standard File Explorer window where you can navigate to and select the image you want to use in the message.
Resizing An Inserted Image In Outlook Email.
If you’re lucky the picture that you’ve added will be just the right size for your email. But often you’ll need to resize it to get the look right.
A quick way to resize the image is to right click it. Hover your pointer over Size and then choose an option from the sub menu.
For more granular control, left click the picture once to select it and you’ll see sizing handles appear at the corners. Use these to drag your picture in or out to make it smaller or larger.
There’s also a rotation handle at the top centre of the image.
That’s it, the message is ready to send. You can add more pictures to your email by moving the cursor to where the next one should go and starting again.

Insert Image Into Outlook Classic Email
Outlook Classic is the email client (program) that is a part of the Microsoft Office suit.
Adding an image in Outlook Classic is pretty much the same as with the online version of Outlook but the user interface (UI) is a little different so I’ve included this for clarity.
To insert an image into an email using Outlook Classic, start a new message and fill in the details. Position the cursor in the body of the email where you want the top left corner of the picture to be.
Then click the Insert button on the toolbar. Click Pictures on the second toolbar and then select from the options where the image is stored.
Navigate to the picture you want to use in your email, select it and it’ll appear in the body of the message.

To change the size of an image in Outlook Classic, you either right click on it and then click Size and Position on the options menu.
Or use the sizing handles to simply drag the image in or out.
Summary.
All versions of Outlook handle images rather well. You have quite a lot of control over where the image is placed in the email as well as resizing it.
