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
How do I compress photos to send via email?
Load your photos on this page — each one is re-compressed at 50% JPEG quality, typically cutting the size by 75–90% — then download and attach the smaller copies to your email. It's free, and the photos never leave your device.
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.
