Embed images in email templates

The Send Mail feature officially does not support embedded images, but you can use the Base64 Image Encoder as a workaround. The Base64 Image Encoder is able to convert your image into a base64 encoded string that can be used in HTML code of your email template.

To embed images in the email template:

  1. Go to Base64 Image Encoder.

  2. Drag and drop your image. Alternatively, you can select OR CLICK HERE.

  3. Once the image is uploaded, select Copy image.

  4. Paste the encoded string into the body of your email template.

  5. Enclose the string with <img> elements as shown in the following example.

Encoded string example
<img src="data:image/png;base64,/9j/4RiDRXhpZgAATU0AKgA..." width="100" height="50" alt="Ataccama Logo">
