A little less email friction
PlainAttach
Anti-inline for Apple Mail. Images that stay attachments.
Coming soon
Send the file. Keep the message clean.
- Send images as downloadable attachments instead of inline email illustrations.
- Keep messages easy to read for recipients using Outlook and webmail.
- Preserve original filenames and file metadata.
- Once enabled, PlainAttach works quietly in Apple Mail.
- Your attachments stay on your Mac until you send your email.
Three steps. Then just attach.
- 01
Open PlainAttach once.
- 02
In Apple Mail, open Settings › Extensions, enable PlainAttach and click Turn On when Mail asks.
- 03
Attach your files to a message. PlainAttach keeps them as file attachments.
Need a little help?
How do I activate PlainAttach?
Open PlainAttach once, then enable it in Apple Mail › Settings › Extensions. If it does not appear yet, restart Mail and check the list again.
Mail warns that PlainAttach can read all my messages. Is that safe?
Yes. macOS shows this question for every Mail extension that works with message content. PlainAttach needs this access to turn pictures into attachments. It has no internet access and sends nothing anywhere. Everything happens on your Mac. Click Turn On.
Can I still insert images inline?
Yes. Use the PlainAttach toggle in the Mail composition window when you want an image to appear inside the message.
Let’s work it out.
