    Head to a web page where your desired picture is located. Drag the picture from the web page into the message on Outlook.
    • Make sure that the picture isn’t linked to another web page, else the link will be inserted instead of the picture. Do this by right-clicking the image and clicking "Open Image in New Tab." Then drag the picture from there.

    Insert a picture from a file. Click on an area in the message where you wish to insert an image. Head to the "Insert" tab, then go to "Illustrations." Click "Picture," and locate the picture file you want to insert into the e-mail.
