HTML Image Not Showing in Gmail

sending html mail with images not displaying in gmail

It turns out I was using CSS to have the picture in the background. Gmail didnt like that. instead i used an image tag.
I cant substantiate this but : I have done that previously too with no success but what did previously is that i did not use tables for my layout.
so to sum up...
use tables for the layout of the html email
insert image tag with width, height , alt tag
and gmail , hotmail and yahoo would display ur image.
hope this saves sometime for someone :)

Images not loading properly in gmail using html template (on Samsung Galaxy Note 5)

The images in an email template might not display for a variety of reasons. The first thing to check is that the email client is enabled to display images. you might refer to your email client below to adjust your settings:

iPhone/iPod/iPad

Gmail

If the settings in your email client are correct and you still can't view images:

• Try opening your email in another web browser or unblock images in
  the browser.

• Sometimes the image is just too large or in a format that the email
  client doesn't support; the most common formats are JPG, PNG and GIF.

• Make sure the images are hosted on a public web server. If you need a
  password to access the image, they won't display in an email.

In addition to it would be better to have a look at the articles below in order to prevent images from showing in an email template:

Images not showing on outlook and gmail

I'm guessing you're talking about Outlook for desktop on Windows?

This is a simple user security setting where Outlook & Gmail block image downloading by default.
You - the user will need to either click the prompt in both email clients to download images for that specific email.
Instructions can be found with a simple internet search.

Alternatively you can change your default settings to ensure images are downloaded by default:

1. Outlook - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/block-or-unblock-automatic-picture-downloads-in-email-messages-15e08854-6808-49b1-9a0a-50b81f2d617a
2. Gmail - https://support.google.com/mail/answer/145919?hl=en-GB&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

Please note: This does not mean your subscribers/customers will receive these emails with images downloaded by default. As mentioned above, this is a security setting for every user and you should not expect them to have this setting changed to suit your needs. You should also not look for ways around these settings.

Another important suggestion is to not rely too heavily on your images conveying important information for these basic reasons (there are more but here are two important ones):

1. Image blocking security settings - Having important information locked in an image and not accessible to a user who isn't internet or computer savvy enough to work these settings out isn't, fair on them.
2. For those with a disability or impairment (also known as accessibility in the web industry) that hinders their way of using and consuming the internet. The internet is for all to use and it is our responsibility as the creators of content to ensure those guidelines are followed and we try our best to ensure as many people as possible can access our content by whatever means possible and that includes screen readers on personal devices.

Respect the guidelines, send your email and hope the recipients click the prompt to download the images or already have the settings altered.
