What if my picture is too large to send in e-mail?

Your e‑mail message probably won't get delivered. Because most e‑mail servers impose a size limit on each message, delivery will often fail if you are trying to send either a very large picture or too many pictures at once. If you have trouble sending pictures in e‑mail, try one of the following:

Let Windows automatically resize the picture

1.     Open your picture using Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Photo Viewer. On the toolbar, click E‑mail. Or select your picture in the Windows Explorer, right-click it, point to Send To, and then click Mail Recipient.

2.     In the Attach Pictures and Files dialog box, select a picture size from the Picture size list, and then click Attach. Windows will automatically resize the picture and attach it to an e‑mail message.

Send fewer pictures in each e‑mail

Even if each picture is small, sending too many in a single message can cause a problem if the total file size is too high. If your recipient has trouble receiving your pictures, try sending just one or two pictures at a time.
