How to Add Graphics to Craigslist
A picture is worth a thousand words, and by adding graphics to your Craigslist classified ad, you can give readers a better idea of what you are selling or offering. Adding images will also increase the visibility of your ad because an "img" tag will appear next to the ad when it appears in search listings. You can place up to four images in your ad using Craigslist's default ad template.

Insert images directly into the body of your ad by using HTML code such as the following:
