Compress Image for Email (50% quality)
Shrink a photo enough to attach to any email at 50% JPEG quality. Free, private, in-browser — no upload, no sign-up.
Email providers commonly cap attachments at 20–25 MB. Compressing at 50% JPEG quality typically cuts photo size by 75–90%, letting several photos fit in one email. This preset applies 50% automatically; your image never leaves your device.
🔒 Compression runs locally — your image is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Why do my photos fail to send by email?
Most providers cap attachments (Gmail: 25 MB). Modern phone photos can be 5–12 MB each, so a few photos exceed the cap — compressing them first fixes it.
Is 50% quality too low?
For photos viewed in an email client, 50% is usually fine. If you see artifacts, try the 70% web preset instead.
