How to add images to your emails
In this article, you will learn how you can insert an image into the body of an email.
You will need:

1. Classic email editor
1.1 Adding an image from an image hosting site
Go to the site where your image is hosted and copy the provided link.
In the email editor
Click on the arrow (number 1 in the image), paste the image link into the "Insert image via URL" field (number 2 in the image), then click on "Insert" (number 3 in the image).
1.2 Uploading an image from your files:
Click on the
image icon to select an image from your files (number 4 in the image).
After your image has been uploaded and added to your email, you can:

The image can be resized by clicking and dragging its corners. When resizing, a percentage will be displayed to indicate the extent to which the image fills the email page.
