How To Add Inline Images in Email Using Gmail

No doubt Gmail is one of the most popular email clients available. In the recent past Gmail has added several new and exciting features some of which include; Smileys, ability to send text messages right from Gmail, voice and video chat feature and among the most recent one being Undo sent message feature. Despite all the improvements, one of the most wanted feature demanded by the Gmail users was the ability to inline images while attaching inside an email.

Its seems that Google pays a lot of attention to the feedback of its user, as of today Gmail introduced a new ‘Insert Image‘ feature in Gmail meaning you can embed images in email messages directly without having to use file attachments.

This feature is not active by default. In order to activate you will have to follow the procedure mentioned below;

1. Log-in to your Gmail account,

2. Click on the Settings button at the top right corner,

3. Next click on the Labs button,

4. Scroll down and at the end you will find ‘insert image‘ option,

5. Click on the Enable radio button to activate it.

Now when ever you want to add images to your email, simply click on the button as shown below;

    I think you have misread the statement, click the Labs button (NOT LABELS).

    Once you are there, scroll down and look for ‘insert images‘ and enable it. If you still can’t find it, let me know!
