Last Updated: July 18, 2022

Would you like to embed an image into Yahoo message instead of attaching it? Although there's no option to insert a picture in Yahoo Mail, you can easily drag an image into the message from your computer to add it to your email message. This wikiHow article will teach you how to add an inline image to your Yahoo Mail message.

1

Create a new message in Yahoo Mail.

Click the Compose button to create a new message. Alternatively, you can click the Reply icon (the back arrow) at the top of an existing message if you want to reply.

2

Find the image on your computer.

Browse to the image you want to send. For example, if you're using a Mac, you can click the Finder icon on the Dock (the two-toned smiley face), and then click the folder that contains your image. On Windows, you can press Windows key + E to open File Explorer, then double-click the folder containing your image to open it.

Drag the image into the body of your message.

Once you let go of the mouse button, the image will appear in the message. If you find it difficult to drag the image, you can just right-click the file name (use Ctrl + Click on a Mac) and select Copy, then right-click the email message and select Paste.

Short answer: Copy and Paste. Long answer: Compose an e-mail in Yahoo. Leave the cursor where you want to embed the image. Now use your favorite application find the image that you want to embed. On the image file (or icon) right-click to bring up the pop-up menu and click 'Copy.' Go back to Yahoo mail and hold Ctrl and press 'V' to paste the picture into the email. If you Right-Click/Menu/Paste, the paste function is grayed out. Ctrl-V works.
