Make attachments lighter without making photos unpleasant to view
Email limits apply to the whole message, not just one image. A batch of phone photos can exceed a mailbox limit even when each file looks reasonable by itself.
Reduce dimensions for screen viewing and use moderate compression rather than destroying image detail just to chase the smallest number.
- Consider the total size of all attachments.
- Keep the original camera files outside the email copy.
- Use ZIP only when the recipient can conveniently open it.

Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. These image workflows process the selected file in your browser during the session.
Can I keep the original image?
Yes. The tools create an optimized copy; keep the original as your master file.
What size should an image be for email?
There is no universal target. Ordinary photos often benefit from a few hundred KB to around 1 MB, depending on the use.

Choose the next tool because the destination requires it, not because every image needs every optimization step.
Privacy and file quality
Keep the original image as your master copy. Compression is a trade-off between file weight, dimensions, format and visual detail. MAXScanner shows the measurable result so you can make that choice from the output rather than a marketing score.
