It has nothing to do with your computer or the software that you are using. It has everything to do with the file size limitations that your internet provider places on their system. Generally if you want to send large files they have to be "zipped".

if you have amazon prime like I do then just upload your photos to it and share the link via email to your recipients. They can download the full resolution photos as they like.

All of my images are stored in Google Photos and if I want to send one or many all I have to do is provide a link.

MOST email providers limit an individual (single) email to a total size of 20Meg.

If the photos you want to send in an email will only be viewed on a monitor, the easiest way I have found to reduce the file size if you are using Windows is simply to right click on the photo and choose the option in the drop down menu to resize. This will give you further options to reduce the size of the file.

I, too, have PSE...I keep images as PSD's in PS for editing (and often, printing), but for sending, I first export as 'new file' or album ,as jpeg, and highest quality. The resultant file can be emailed as an attachment, but Google and Dropbox also give you the option of creating a link. You also could use We Transfer for large files. Google Photos (which you can upload to) is great for creating alums which can be sent directly in your preferred order ,or by links. All of these can maintain the quality and size. Works for me...even for videos.

That's what I do.

Check you're settings. You have the file size set to low.

I too wonder if the issue lies with your internet provider (Comcast, CenturyLink, etc.) rather than your email service provider (ie. gmail, hotmail, AOL, etc.). Could it be possible your internet provider is placing size restrictions on your email attachments? Many of us, including myself, send multiple photos to post here on UHH that approach the web site limit without any issues. Yesterday I posted seven images to the UHH photo gallery. Each image was around 2MB. I had no issues. I suggest you check with your internet provider to see if that might be the root of your problem.

👍👍 Exactly. My email provider, Spectrum, limits attachments to 20 MB. Not to say that your mail client can’t be an issue, but it’s more likely your (or your recipient’s) ISP - the OP has been given several options to reduce the file size or upload to shared cloud storage.

The issue is the email server. If you are like me, I pay nothing monetarily to use Gmail. Thus, the limitation. If you were a part of an organization that paid for Gmail, the limitation would not likely exist. Your software and op system have little to do with the issue. ”If you are getting it for free, then you are the product.”

Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the one that controls file sizes for attachments to emails. My ISP limits file sizes for attachments--word docs, pdf, image files, etc--to 25MB. The problem is not with your windows version.
In addition to ISPs some photo related organizations that receive your image may have additional limits or requirements on image size due to software specs for applications that will use your emailed image.
When you process your image in your photo processor and export it, you need to make sure that your export settings meet all of the requirements of your ISP and the user of your image.
If your file size exceeds the ISP maximums, then you need to use something like Google Drive, Dropbox, and other ways to transmit large files.

I use We Transfer. at least 2 gb to transfer for free. You can send multiple files.
The person receiving the message gets an e mail from we transfer so they can link to the site and download the files.
