What is the best image size for email attachments?

For individual attachments, staying under 200KB-300KB is ideal. This ensures the email loads quickly on mobile devices and doesn't exceed the recipient's inbox limit.

How can I send large photos via email?

You should compress them. Our tool allows you to batch-reduce multiple photos to a specific target size (like 200KB) so you can attach more files to a single email.

Is it safe to compress my private photos for email?

Yes! QuickFileLab processes images locally. Your photos never leave your computer, making it the safest way to handle sensitive documents or personal pictures.

Why You Should Reduce Image Size for Email

Sending high-resolution photos via email can be frustrating. Most email providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo have attachment limits (usually 25MB total). Even if you stay under the limit, large images take longer to send and can fill up your recipient's storage space.

Benefits of Email Image Compression

Prevent Bounce-backs: Avoid "Message too large" errors from mail servers.
Faster Uploads: Send emails instantly, even on slow mobile data or public Wi-Fi.
Mobile Optimized: Recipients can open your photos quickly on their smartphones without consuming huge amounts of data.
Professionalism: Sending optimized attachments shows you respect the recipient's bandwidth and storage.

How to Shrink Photos for Email Attachments

Add Your Files: Select the images you want to attach to your email.
Set Target Size: We recommend 200KB. It provides the best balance of visual clarity and small file size.
Process Locally: Our tool works entirely in your browser, keeping your personal photos 100% private.
Download & Attach: Save the compressed versions and attach them to your email draft.

Secure Client-Side Processing

Unlike other online compressors, QuickFileLab does not upload your images to any server. All the shrinking happens inside your browser tab. This is crucial when sending sensitive documents, ID cards, or private family photos via email.
