Why does the image become blurry/fuzzy/unsharp/smaller/change in size?

This usually happens when you are using a picture other than 96dpi. When inserting a picture, Outlook will rescale the image as if it was a 96dpi image. This means that if you have a picture of 150dpi with a height off 88px, it will be displayed as an image of 56px high; 88px/150dpi * 96dpi = 56px It even gets worse; upon sending, Outlook will convert and compress (re-render) the images to 96dpi with the new dimensions permanently! This means that all the “detailed” picture information is lost and you’ll be sending an image of 96dpi which is 56px high. This is of course a severe and very visible quality loss. If your picture is less than 96dpi, then the opposite happens. A picture of 88px high with a dpi of 32 would then result in a 96dpi image of 264px high. So the result will be a very large image (but this time you can resize it back without the image becoming blurry). To work around this, you can re-render the image to 96dpi yourself while maintaining the dimensions of the picture
