What is the difference between an embedded image and an attached image? An embedded image is displayed as an image in the body of an email, but an attached image is not. An embedded image is displayed as a paper clip in the content of an email, but an attached image is not. An attached image takes on a larger file size due to the extra data required to create the attachment. An attached image is a smaller file size due to the compression that takes place during the attachment process.
