Yes, with Attach images, as JPG, PNG or WebP. If one does not fit you will see which one and why: unsupported, empty or over the size limit; the screen also shows how many you can attach. To drop one, use Remove.

If your request was sent but an image failed, you will see Your request was sent, but some images could not be attached: add them in a reply after Open my request.
