# How to embed images inline via cid in Resend emails
Resend had no documented way to embed an image inline in the email HTML via Content-ID (cid), which is useful for small markup and for not fetching images from external servers at open time. Users referenced the react-email discussion on cid support but resend's own API did not expose it. The feature request asked for an inline-content-id style attachment property.
## How to handle it
CID embedding is supported in resend@4.8.0 and later via the `inlineContentId` attachment property. Reference the attachment in your HTML with `src="cid:[id]"`:
```js
resend.emails.send({
from: 'Acme <[EMAIL]>',
to: ['[EMAIL]'],
subject: 'Hello',
html: '<img src="cid:myimage"/>',
attachments: [{ content: attachment, filename: 'myimage.png', inlineContentId: 'myimage' }],
});
```
The maintainer confirmed this was added in PR #554 and released in 4.8.0.
