How to Display a JPEG in Emails

Inserting a JPEG in your email can save a recipient from downloading the file.

An image-hosting website such as Free Image Hosting can help you display a JPEG file in your email. When the image is inserted in your emails, the recipient of your message does not need to download the image to view it. The JPEG is displayed as soon as the email is opened by the recipient. Image-hosting services such as Flickr do not charge for using their services. You may need to register to upload and save images to the site.

Instructions

1. Launch your Web browser and access a image-hosting website such as Flickr or TinyPic.

2. Register for an account. If you already have an account, sign into it with your user name and password.

3. Upload the JPEG you want to display in your email to the website. Wait until the image is completely uploaded before proceeding.

4. Click the JPEG and highlight it using your cursor. Drag the cursor from one end of the JPEG to the other until it turns blue.

5. Press the "Ctrl" and "C" keys at the same time to copy the JPEG.

6. Access your email account in the browser and open a blank email message.

7. Click anywhere in the body of the email and press the "Ctrl" and "V" keys at the same time. The JPEG will be displayed in the email.

8. Enter the recipient's email and click "Send" to send the email message with the JPEG displayed.
