How to Resize an Attached Picture (Outlook)

When you attach a picture as a file, the picture won't display directly in the body of the email message. Instead, an icon of the picture will appear under the message subject. For image files, you'll also see a small preview of the picture along with the name and size of the file. 

If the picture attachment is too large, you can tell Outlook to resize the picture for you when you send the message. 

1. Select File. 

2. If your image is large, you'll see this message: Some recipients may not receive this message because of image attachments. Resizing large images may help the message get delivered. Resized images will be a maximum of 1024x768 pixels. 

3. Select Resize large images when I send this message.

4. Select the left arrow at the top left corner of the screen to return to your message. Compose your message, and when you select Send, all picture attachments will be automatically resized.
