Compress photos to send by email
Gmail and Outlook take about 20–25 MB per email: five phone photos already do not fit. At 1 MB each, about twenty do.
Automatic saves JPG (WebP stays WebP). EXIF data (GPS location, camera, date) is removed and the photo is saved upright.
Files never leave your device
How to do it
- Choose all the photos you want to send. The 1 MB per photo limit is already selected.
- Press "Compress" and wait until they are all done.
- Download the ZIP and attach it to your email, or download the photos one by one.
Tips
- At 1 MB a photo still looks sharp on screen, and even printed at 10 × 15 cm (4 × 6 in).
- Lots of photos? Go down to 500 KB each and twice as many fit.
- The photos carry no GPS location: useful when you send them to someone you do not know.
Questions
How many photos fit in one email?
Gmail allows about 25 MB of attachments and Outlook about 20 MB. At 1 MB per photo about twenty fit; at 500 KB, about forty.
Can any computer or phone open the ZIP?
Yes. Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone open ZIP files without installing anything. If the person prefers single photos, download them one by one with the arrow next to each photo.
Is there a limit on the number of photos?
There is no fixed limit. With many large photos an older phone takes longer; you can do them in batches.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They are compressed in your browser and stay on your device until you send them.
