Hi SEREN

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand your concern about the time and effort required to prepare emails with multiple images, especially when you have to resize them using another application before adding them to Outlook.

Here are some recommended options that may help improve the experience:

1/ Use Outlook's built-in image resizing options

If you insert images directly into the email body, you can resize them within the message by selecting the image and using the Picture Format > Size options, or by dragging the image's corner handles to adjust its displayed size.

For reference: Resize a picture in an email message | Microsoft Support

2/ Share large images through OneDrive or SharePoint

When working with large screenshots or multiple images, Microsoft recommends using cloud storage instead of embedding or attaching large files directly to emails.

Recommended workflow:

• Upload the images to OneDrive or SharePoint.
• Insert a sharing link into the email.
• Avoid sending large image files as attachments whenever possible.

For reference: Reduce attachment size to send large files with Outlook

3/ Consider using Classic Outlook for Windows

If you have access to Classic Outlook for Windows, it offers more advanced image handling capabilities, including the Compress Pictures feature available from the Picture Tools > Format tab.

Please note that Outlook on the web currently does not provide the same image compression functionality available in the desktop version.

I genuinely appreciate you raising this suggestion. Automatic image compression and optimization when inserting images into emails is a practical feature that could help many users save time and streamline their workflow.
