You might have noticed a “download” button pop up in the bottom right corner of images in your emails?
Well,
This is not a feature of Google. Basically, some size of images or images without anchor or link shows such a download and save to drive icons.
Reason Behind It –
Google treats larger images as an attachment and allow them to view as a Google Drive Image.
This is annoying, because as a user clicks on something he accidentally downloads an image. Nobody would like that to happen with their receivers.

One Reply to “Remove Download Icon Over The Images In Gmail”
I’m not sure that your resolution chart is completely correct. I had an image in my code that was 177×198 and 55KB, and still had a user that received a download icon.
I agree with you that wrapping in the image in an anchor tag is one of the best ways to avoid getting a download icon if you have a large image.
