Shrink photos for email
Phone photos are 3–5 MB each, so a handful of them can exceed your email provider’s attachment limit. This tool resizes photos to a screen-friendly 1600 pixels and compresses them, typically to 200–500 KB, while they still look great on any screen.

How to shrink photos for email
- 1
Drop the photos you want to send, or a whole folder.
- 2
Keep the defaults (longest side 1600 px, quality 80%) or adjust them.
- 3
Download the smaller photos as a ZIP and attach it to your email.
Why photos are too big for email
Email attachments are usually limited to around 20–25 MB per message, and large attachments are slow to send and receive. Resizing photos to 1600 pixels on the longest side keeps them sharp on laptops and phones while cutting the file size by 80–95%.
Photos that are already smaller than 1600 pixels are not enlarged. The result is always a JPG, which every email client and device can open.

Frequently asked questions
How small will my photos get?
Usually 200–500 KB each, depending on the content. Ten photos then fit comfortably in a single email.
Will they still look good?
Yes on screens: 1600 pixels is more than most email clients display. For printing, send the originals instead.
Can I change the size?
Yes. Set a different maximum width or height, or a different quality, before or after adding the photos.
Does it work with iPhone photos?
Yes. HEIC photos are converted to JPG at the same time, which also makes them easier to open for recipients on Windows.
Are my photos sent anywhere?
No. Resizing happens in your browser; the photos only leave your device when you attach them to your own email.
