Image Too Large for Email

Email attachments can fail or feel slow when an image file is too large. Compression is usually the quickest way to make the image easier to send.

Quick answer

To fix an image that is too large for email, open the Compress Image tool, upload the image, create a smaller version, and attach the result to your message. If needed, reduce the dimensions with Resize Image too. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.
