How to Send Large Photos via Email (Bypass 25MB Limit)

We've all seen the error: 'Attachment size exceeds the limit.' Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo usually cap attachments at 25MB. Instead of sending multiple emails or using Google Drive, simply compress your images.

Why Photos Are Too Big for Email

Modern phone cameras take photos that are 5MB to 10MB each. Just 3 or 4 photos will hit your email limit. These images are print-quality, which is unnecessary for viewing on a screen.

The Solution: Batch Compression

You can reduce a 10MB photo to 500KB (95% reduction) without it looking bad on a screen. Using our Batch Compress tool, you can upload 20 photos at once, shrink them all, and attach them to a single email.

Step-by-Step Guide

• 1. Drag your photos into our online compressor.
• 2. Set quality to 80% (perfect for email).
• 3. Download all as a ZIP file.
• 4. Attach the single ZIP file to your email.

Best Format for Email

Always convert HEIC (iPhone) or BMP files to JPG before emailing. JPG is universally compatible and offers the best file-size-to-quality ratio for email attachments.
