Insert an Image Inline in an Email with Yahoo! Mail
To insert a picture from the web in an email with Yahoo! Mail:
- Locate the image on a web site, or open it directly using its URL (address).
- You can upload the image to your web host or use a graphic you found on the web (if you can use it without violating any terms).
- If you don't have a web site, try a free image hosting service.
- If your image is larger than some 640x640 pixels, consider shrinking it to more handy proportions before you put it online.
- Highlight the image — just the image — with your mouse.
- Press Ctrl-C (Windows, Linux) or Command-C (Mac).
- Position the cursor where you want the image to show up in an email you are composing in Yahoo! Mail.
- Make sure you have enabled the Yahoo! Mail rich text editor.
- Hit Ctrl-V (Windows and Linux) or Command-V (Mac) to paste the image.
- If you use an image uploaded to a free image hosting service:
- Click on the image.
- Link the image to the image's page address at the free image hosting service (something resembling "http://img.imageshack.us/my.php?image=example.jpg" if you use ImageShack, for example).
- Continue editing (and adding more images).
- Finally, send your Yahoo! Mail message as usual.
Note: pasting the image might not work in Mozilla Firefox under Windows.
