Most email clients block images in emails by default mainly for security reasons. Specifically, this feature prevents recipients from:

  • Downloading malicious content or images that could lead to malicious websites.

  • Providing analytics to senders about the recipient’s email address, geographical location, IP address etc.

  • Downloading large content in size when using a low-bandwidth connection.

  • Viewing potentially offensive material

Every email client treats image blocking differently so this is a situation that can not be controlled by the sender. Normally, when the recipient whitelists an email address, the email client will automatically download the images next time it receives an email from the specific sender.

This article offers some tips and recommendations to make sure your images are enabled to display based on the email client that you are using.
