Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an image small enough for email?
Our tool compresses your image to under 1 MB by optimizing quality and reducing dimensions if needed. For most emails, an image 1200-1600 pixels wide at 80-85% JPEG quality stays well under 1 MB.
What is the maximum email attachment size?
Gmail allows 25 MB total attachments, Outlook allows 20 MB, and Yahoo Mail allows 25 MB. For reliable delivery across all providers, keep individual images under 1 MB and total attachments under 10 MB.
Why do my email images look blurry?
Over-compression reduces image quality. Our tool finds the optimal balance between file size and visual quality. If an image looks blurry, try allowing a slightly larger file size (up to 2 MB) for better quality.
Should I compress images before or after writing the email?
Compress before attaching. This gives you control over the final quality and file size. Some email clients auto-compress images, but they often reduce quality more than necessary.
