How to embed images in Outlook 2013 / 2016 emails?

Resolution:

In order to correctly display embedded images on the recipients, in latest versions of Outlook can modify Windows registry entries to enable the image embedding.

Steps to enable image embedding in Outlook

Note: If you are unfamiliar with editing the Windows registry, it is highly recommended that you seek the assistance of an IT professional.

1. Step 1. Open the Windows Registry Editor (Press 'Ctrl + R' and type 'regedit.exe' from the 'Start menu') as shown below.

   

2. Step 2. Navigate to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'.

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\X.0\Outlook\Options\

   Where 'X' is the version of Outlook you are using.

   (Note that for Outlook 2016 you need to enter 16, and for Outlook 2013 enter the number 15)

3. Step 3. Find and open the 'Mail' subkey. Create this subkey if it doesn’t exist in the tree (folder structure).

   

4. Step 4. Right click on the subkey and add a new 'DWORD Value'.

   

5. Step 5. Enter the name exactly as it is shown below:

   'Send Pictures With Document'

   

6. Step 6. Edit and enter a value of 1 in the Value data field.

   Value data: 1
   Base: Decimal

   

Restart Computer / Outlook and then send yourself a test email. If you include an embedded image or a picture / graphics in the email, your recipients should now see the images appropriately.
