Compress Image for Email

Shrink photos to fit email attachment limits. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo — all supported.

Compress Image for Email

No signup. Images processed in your browser — nothing uploaded.

Email attachment limits vary: Gmail allows 25MB total, Outlook 20MB, Yahoo 25MB. Large photos from modern cameras (5-15MB each) can quickly exceed these limits. fileGOD compresses images to fit any email provider's limits while retaining visual quality. Processing runs in your browser — your photos are never uploaded. Modern smartphone cameras produce 12-48 megapixel images at 3-15MB each. Attaching just three photos can exceed Gmail's 25MB limit. The compressor typically reduces each photo to 500KB-2MB with no visible quality loss at screen resolution. For corporate email servers with tighter limits (5-10MB), you can set a specific per-image target size.
