Work with attached images

Use Quicken's Attachments Viewer to view attachments, open the attachment in its associated Windows application (such as Windows Photo Viewer, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP), save attachments to your hard drive so they can be accessed outside of Quicken, upload an attachment to the cloud, or delete attachments that you no longer need.

First, open the Attachments Viewer for the transaction attachment or account attachmentyou want to work with.

•   To view an attachment within Quicken
  After you add an attachment, Quicken adds an attachment icon () to the selected transaction. Just click the icon to view the attachment in the Attachments Viewer. The attachment icon () typically appears in the Date field of the transaction; for an investment transaction list in one-line display mode, it appears in the Attachments column (looks like a paper clip).
•   To view multiple attachments for a transaction
  In the Attachments Viewer, click the arrow icon (). You can now view the thumbnail image of the all the attachments for the selected transaction.

  Notes

  Each transaction can have an unlimited number of attachments stored in a Quicken data file, and you can view these images only on your desktop software. For accounts for which you've enabled mobile and alerts, you can also have one attachment stored in the Quicken Cloud for each transaction.

•   To open an attachment in its associated Windows application (such as Windows Photo Viewer, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP)
  In the Attachments Viewer, double-click the attachment that you want to open.

  • For accounts for which you've enabled mobile and alerts, you can have one attachment stored in the Quicken Cloud for each transaction. If you are attaching an image to an account for which you've enabled mobile and alerts, Quicken automatically uploads the first image to the cloud.
