On Windows 11 latest Chrome, I created a file called "WorksForMe.png", clicked "Attachments" tab, chose the file, clicked "Place inline", and previewed.

If you need any help beyond that, it would be good if you'd explain very specifically what you're doing -- "everytime i try" is just not a very specific bug report.

This could turn into a useful bug report if you'll just take the time to mention some specifics -- what kind of phone do you have, what's the OS, what app are you taking screenshots with, what's the file extension? Then we'd maybe get someone else who can say, "Hey, I have the same problem!" and then we might be getting somewhere.

Bug reports without any specifics are about as useful as just posting "Something bad happened."
