Prepare image attachments that are easy to send and open without making important details unreadable.

Email services often limit attachment size, and very large images can be inconvenient for recipients on mobile connections. First decide whether the recipient needs the full-resolution original or only a viewable copy. A resized copy is usually enough for a quick review or a casual update.

How to approach it

Resize to the dimensions needed for the task and use a suitable format. Keep text-heavy screenshots sharp and avoid aggressive compression when the image serves as evidence or documentation. If fidelity matters, share the original through a trusted file-transfer method instead of altering it.

Checks before you share

Keep an untouched source file, inspect the exported copy at full size, and confirm that the result suits its intended use. If the image contains private information, check the entire frame and its metadata before publishing.

Frequently asked question

Should I always shrink email photos?

No. Preserve the original when detail is important or the recipient specifically requests full resolution.
