Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Gmail attachment size limit?
Gmail limits attachments to 25MB total. If your images exceed this, they'll be uploaded to Google Drive instead. Compressing to 70% quality typically reduces photos by 60-80%.
Will compression make my photos blurry?
At 70-80% quality, compression is virtually invisible to the human eye. Only extreme compression (below 50%) causes noticeable blur or artifacts.
Should I compress PNG or JPG for email?
For photos, always use JPG compression. PNGs are better for graphics with text or sharp edges. Converting a photo from PNG to compressed JPG can reduce size by 90%.
