How to Make Your Pictures Smaller for Email

Modern cell phones take incredibly beautiful pictures. The colors are bright and everything is perfectly clear. But those high-quality pictures are absolutely huge in size!

If you try to attach three or four of these giant photos to a simple email, your email app will usually stop working and say the file is just too big to send.

To send them successfully, you need to shrink the files down. This trick is called compressing. It squishes the picture file to make it much smaller in size, but keeps the photo looking nice and clear.

Think of it like taking the extra air out of a balloon. It is still the same balloon, but it takes up way less room in your pocket.

You can shrink any photo you want using our free Image Compressor tool. You do not need to download any heavy apps to do it.

Just drop your big, heavy picture into the tool. It will instantly squeeze it down into a tiny size that easily fits into any email or text message without any annoying errors.
