What is the easiest way to send large photos over email?

emailing high resolution photos is such a pain because of those strict file size limits. you try to send a few nice pictures from a trip and the email just bounces back or sits in your outbox forever. i ran into this last night trying to email family photos to my grandma. instead of stressing over it i used a quick online tool called imageresizer to shrink the files down. it is a handy image resizer that reduces the file size without making the pictures look grainy. the email sent instantly and they still look sharp.

Try creating a folder in Google Drive and uploading them there. Then just send the link to your grandma so she can view the pictures and download them easily. For large files I always use swisstransfer.

many tools allow you with their built in feature such as mailchamp etc

Just share large photos through Google Drive or WeTransfer instead of manually compressing everything on third-party tools and fighting email attachment limits. It's really that simple.

Yeah, this is a common headache with email limits, But people are now using google drive which is kind of more less stressfull than compressing an image.

Yeah, email attachment limits are still annoying in 2026

I have used Filemail for years. I have a paid account, but I believe they still offer a free account with a fairly huge GB limit. Plus, It's easy for your receipients to just click a link to download a file or files. Let me know if you have any questions.
