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:
-
Go to Base64 Image Encoder.
-
Drag and drop your image. Alternatively, you can select OR CLICK HERE.
-
Once the image is uploaded, select Copy image.
-
Paste the encoded string into the body of your email template.
-
Enclose the string with
<img>
elements as shown in the following example.
<img src="data:image/png;base64,/9j/4RiDRXhpZgAATU0AKgA..." width="100" height="50" alt="Ataccama Logo">
