How to Compress Images for Email

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): To fit email attachment limits, compress your photos before attaching them using the free tool on this page. A typical 4 MB phone photo drops to around 300–600 KB at the default settings, so you can attach several images in one message without errors. The conversion runs in your browser with no upload or sign-up.
