This article outlines how to add images, product photos, company logos, etc. to your Dynamics 365.
How to add an image to a CRM contact
1. Open your Dynamics 365 and select a contact, you want to add a picture to. As a placeholder, you can see the initials of the name.

Please Note: CRM limits the size of uploaded images to 144×144 pixels. This means the resolution of the inserted image may not be as expected and does not have the same quality as the original uploaded document. If you upload an image larger than the standard allowed in Dynamics 365, it will be automatically scaled.
Images can only be added to the left corner of a form. You can only add one image on the form at a time. Please consider it when thinking about multiple product images on one form.
2. Click on the placeholder and this window pops up. Press the [Upload Image]-button to select an image.
