If birthday_picture must be dynamic (this means the same email template may render different images) you should consider using fields.Binary

fields.Binary stores a binary file in odoo filesystem and returns a base64 encoded string.

birthday_picture = fields.Binary(string='Birthday Picture')
<img src="${'data:image/png;base64,%s' % object.birthday_picture}" style="width: 60px; height: 60px"/>

In case birthday_picture is always the same (so it is static) best solution would be to create an ir.attachment, set it as public and render into src it's url

Another option would be to manually convert your file into base64 using an online tool and replace src value with the encoded string.

Yes Brother i want the image dynamically, and as you sid above i did try this but still doesnot return image which i provide in binary field

Can you debug email raw body in order to understand what it is printing instead of the base64 string? Also are you sure the model selected in mail.template is the same model where you added birthday_picture field? Try printing object.birthday_picture into the email template to further investigate

yeah i am sure birthday_picture is in the same model as provided in mail.template, also i already checked what is printing instead of base64 string, it is printing the binary format of the image.

This means binary data must be first converted to base64. You can use image_data_uri or to_text qweb helper functions to obtain this. For example: ${'data:image/png;base64,%s' % image_data_uri(object.birthday_picture)}

Actually i have added this:

<p>
    <img src="/web/image/birthday.reminder/${object.id}/birthday_picture/"/>
</p>

which doesnot reflect the image in template but when i looked for undelivered email from techncal > email. by removing force_send from code i can see my image reflected on it.

however i already searched that the email doesnot support base64 images but there is a tweak to do it as well. here is the link which descried the tweak
