Gmail and Outlook both limit attachments to 25 MB. Yahoo allows 25 MB. Apple Mail (iCloud) allows 20 MB before forcing Mail Drop. A single 12-megapixel photo straight from a phone can be 4–8 MB; ten of them blow past the limit.

For email, 1600 px on the long side at JPG quality 80 is the sweet spot. The image still looks great on a 4K screen but weighs 200–400 KB instead of 4 MB.

Use the tool below with target size 500 KB or 1 MB and free resize mode. You can shrink an entire holiday album in minutes.

FAQ

What is the Gmail attachment size limit?

25 MB per email. Larger files get auto-converted to a Google Drive link.

Will compressing damage the photo?

Not at quality 80+. The pixel-level differences are invisible on screen.

How do I email many photos at once?

Use the batch tool to compress them all to the same target size, then attach the zipped folder.
