Tips for Smaller Email Attachments

• •Use JPG for photos — JPG compresses better than PNG for photographs.
• •Resize before compressing — A 4000px image resized to 1920px will be much smaller.
• •Send multiple emails — If you have many images, split them across emails.
• •Use cloud links for large files — Google Drive or Dropbox links work for huge files.
