First, log in to your Gmail account and click on the “Compose” button to start a new email.
Step 2: Click on the Insert Photo Icon
Once you have the new email window open, look for the “Insert Photo” icon. It looks like a small camera and is usually located at the bottom of the email composition window.
Step 3: Choose the Photo You Want to Attach
Click on the “Insert Photo” icon and a new window will pop up allowing you to choose the photo you want to attach. Navigate to where your photo is saved on your computer and select it.
Step 4: Insert the Photo into the Email
Once you have selected the photo, click on the “Open” or “Insert” button (the wording may vary depending on your operating system) to insert the photo into the email.
Step 5: Resize the Photo (if necessary)
If the photo is too large and you want to resize it, you can click on the inserted photo within the email and drag the corners to make it smaller. This will help ensure the recipient can view the photo easily.
Step 6: Add a Description (optional)
If you want to include a brief description or caption with the photo, you can simply type it directly into the body of the email below the inserted photo.
Step 7: Send the Email
Once you have attached the photo and composed your email, you can click on the “Send” button to send the email with the attached photo to your desired recipient.
Step 8: Verify the Photo is Attached
Before sending the email, it’s always a good idea to double-check that the photo is attached correctly. You can do this by looking for the attachment icon next to the email subject line.
Step 9: Use Google Drive for Larger Photos
If you’re sending multiple or larger photos, Gmail may prompt you to use Google Drive to attach the files. This can be a convenient option for larger file sizes.
Step 10: Consider File Size Limits
Keep in mind that Gmail has a file size limit for attachments, so if your photo is too large, you may need to resize it or use Google Drive to send it.
Step 11: Recap and Review
Before hitting send, take a moment to review your email, ensuring that the attached photo looks as you intended and that the email content is accurate and appropriate.
Step 12: Send the Email and Share Your Photo!
Finally, once everything looks good, hit the “Send” button and share your email with the beautifully attached photo to your recipient. Enjoy sharing memories and moments with ease through Gmail!
