To create a gmail email with embedded images you need to copy and paste them from another browser window, but to get them to appear in another browser window does not mean you have to upload them to the web. You can create and html file on you local hard drive and open that in your browser instead. I have create a simply batch file to automate this.Hope this helps

This batch file is great for creating albums. How do you change the batch file so that it creates an album with the FULL Image URL/Location? Like it has the full path of where the file is stored rather than the abbreviated filename path you currently have in the batch file, where it just has it locate the file because it happens to be in the same folder/directory

Ive figured out how to embed the image just fine. But now I want to make the embedded image a clickable linked image. Problem is that when I click on the image and add my link to it in Gmail, when I send it off and it is opened on the other side, it displays the URL right next to the image everytime. No matter what I can't get rid of it. I want a clean clickable, embedded image, with no border (preferable) and no URL next to the image. Anyone know how to do this?Please also PM me

it could be how gmail is coded right now, so nothing much can be done on that part if you are inclined to use the newer version of gmail. note that gmail has a new theme now.

 

however, i did try using the OLDER VERSION (linked at the menu on top right of the page) of COMPOSE MAIL and you can particularly "eliminate" the text link which crops up every time on the newer version. the good thing with the older version is that it only prompts for the LINK, with no additional TEXT TO DISPLAY option in the newer version (which gmail automatically fills up with the text of the URL if you don't customize it yourself). if you want, you can customize it as a "space" or a "dot/period", so it would appear "less visible" (there will always be the telltale portion where the space or dot/period appears). in short, use the OLDER VERSION to compose your mail if you want to use this "trick" of embedding images with links on gmail for a "cleaner" presentation on the recipient's end.

 

if you are bothered with the blue border which appears when an image is linked, sorry can't help you with that since it probably is a browser presentation code, and if you can cheat it not to be displayed on your browser, i don't suppose it would necessarily be the same for others you send your message with image+links to (unless they do the same cheat you did for your browser on their end). if they use OLDER VERSION of gmail when reading their messages, the blue border disappears since that is apparently how it was coded then.

 

for TEST purposes, PM me with your gmail address if you want and i'll zap a sample your way next time.

To create a gmail email with embedded images you need to copy and paste them from another browser window, but to get them to appear in another browser window does not mean you have to upload them to the web.

I managed to add logos to my bulk charity email by copying and pasting after uploading on flickr, but when I send it back to myself I can't see the images, just grey boxes that outline the pictures and not even a URL but the jpeg number.

Please help!

Inline ImageHow To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

thanks for your tip.  It does not work for me.  I continue to get the very small icon where the image should appear.  Any tip would be appreciated.

 

[iGuest 3]

Compose mail in gmail, then drag and drop the image from a different browser window than the one you have your gmail account opened up in.  this requires that you are hosting the image from another site on the web...B/c that is the reference pointer.

 what is killing me is that I cannot send emails from my mac mail account and get the images to show up in my gmail account...Ugh!

Failed to embed image How To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

The method proposed by serverph did not work for me. ( I have a mac)Firstly I could not highlight the image, I could only right click and copy it. Then, although I managed to paste it into my email it did not appear embedded, just as normal.

When I opened up the sent email, it simply had a small blank rectangle instead of my picture! Please help serverph! And do send me our example I would be grateful,

Many thanks,

Highlight the image you want to embed then use Ctrl+C to copy go to the spot in gmail you wish to embed the image and hit Ctrl+V.  It dosent work if you click "copy/past image" only if you use the keyboard commands.

Embedding photos in EmailsHow To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

Picasa 3 from Google has a feature called HTML storybook.  The following was excerpted from this Picasa link:

https://support.google.com/picasa/?answer=11325&topic=14205

If you use Outlook or Outlook Express to email photos from GooglePicasa, try your hand at creating a HTML storybook. This featureCreates an HTML email with images embedded in the body of the email.Short descriptions or captions can be included with each photo to helpTell the story.

You need to create a POP3 account in Outlook Express that will use to your email program to send the emails.  If you use Gmail, there are detailed instructions for doing this in the help section.  Following this link:

https://support.google.com/mail/?topic=12883

It can be a little tricky to set up at first and may take some trial & error to get it all working.  The POP3 settings must be entered exactly as stated.  Once you do, this is the best way to embed photos in your Emails.

Batch File ResponseHow To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

The comment Mr. Fricker left is actually a really nice way of creating an HTML album.  However, it will not work for the purpose of adding inline images to your GMail message.  The reason being that the album it creates references to the picture file(s) on your local computer.  So, in essence, when you send the message the picture(s) will not show up on the recipient's computer as those file(s) do not exist on their local computer.

In order to utilize this feature you would have to FTP the album.Html file and the pictures to an online source.  And, even then it would be necessary to change the html coding within the "img src" line to point to the online location.

I STILL LOVE the batch file though!  It's a very good batch file for creating an HTML album on your local computer.
