Q&A for How to Attach Photos in Gmail

Click the "Upload" tab toward the top of the screen. This will allow you to either drag-and-drop a picture, or click the Upload button to navigate to the My Pictures folder.

After you have composed your message in the "New Message" pop-up window, go to the bottom-most bar of the window. There will be 6 icons on the right of the "Send" button. Click on the 4th icon — the image icon. An "Insert Photo" dialogue box will open up, allowing you to select the picture(s) of your choice. On the bottom right of the box, make sure the "Insert images" option is set to "Inline" not "As attachment." Then, once you have selected the picture(s), click on the "Insert" button at the bottom left of the dialogue box.

You can copy and paste a photo by left clicking the image, selecting "Copy," then going to Gmail and left clicking the spot in which you would like to place it, then hitting "Paste."

You probably have to save the photo to your computer then, send it. Or, possibly, you have to paste the photo's link into Gmail.

In the top right-hand corner there should be something that pops up when you click on it.
