Image blocking on HTML emails

Hey guys,

I'm really new to email marketing, as of now I designed an html email for email campaign purposes but the problem is that my image is blocked, or the user need to download the image or click the box to view it.

my problem now is how to make it display and make it responsive, also my boss saw a full image email that was sent to him, and it was from a large network company, so is it possible that we can also send a large image email without downloading or clicking a button to view it?

your inputs and ideas are really much appreciated guys.

P.S. my boss really wanted that huge email image

    You have to "embed" the image physically in the email.

      I'm sorry to ask this noob question, but when you said embed, you mean by dragging the entire image to the input box?

    There are many ways to do this. One way is to base64 encode the image and place it in a data:image url. You can also attach the image to the email and use a content identifier to insert it.

    Search on embedding an image in email to see examples.

      Hi I've looked in to google and tried those suggested things, but it seems that the images are still blocked. Could there be another approach you can suggest? I've also seen alot of email adverts and they used large images but they seemed to be not blocked
