What size should an email photo be?

A few hundred KB per image is plenty to look good on screen while keeping the whole email small enough to send reliably.

Can I compress several photos for one email?

Yes — do them one at a time here, or use our Bulk Image Compressor to shrink up to 10 at once and download them together.

processed on your device — never uploaded

Email providers cap attachments (often around 20–25MB total), and big photos quickly hit it — especially several at once. Compressing each image to a lightweight size lets you attach more and ensures the message actually sends.

The compression happens in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded to a third party first.
