Sending an e-mail with PNG images without losing image quality

emailimages

I need to send an e-mail with screenshots in PNG format without losing the quality of the screenshots.

Outlook 2003 and 2010 converts the images copied from Word to jpg – and image quality is thus lost.

Thunderbird does the same thing.

I have tried different ways, but nothing seems to be working perfectly.

I am ready to write the message in pure html, attach png files (to have full control of the message and the images) – but Outlook does not give such possibility.

What is the best way to create an html e-mail with images and send it without losing image quality?

What about copying out the image into (some graphic application) irfanview and saving it as PNG, and THEN attaching the file into your letter?

Outlook – way to use an inline PNG image in an Outlook e-mail

This isn't very helpful, but as far as I know, as one who sends a number of screen caps, there is no way. Outlook/Exchange always converts it to jpeg, and I haven't found a way yet to change that.

Sorry; I wish it could be done.

Word to HTML Conversion- Loss of image quality

You need to disable the compression setting

Click the Office Button, and then click Save As. 
Click Tools, and then click Compress Pictures. 
Click Options. 
Click to clear the Automatically perform basic compression on save check box. 
Click OK. 
In the Compress Pictures dialog box, click Cancel.
Note:  Clicking OK on this dialog will not prevent the issue from occurring.

you can also do the same in word 2010 as shown in this picture by going to file > options then follow this window

If all else fails you could simply add the html code yourself to link the image from the source file so you dont need to convert it

 <img src="name of image" alt="image description here" height="42" width="42">
