Email image size
The maximum email image size varies depending on the email client, server, and internet service provider (ISP). Here are some general guidelines:
Gmail:
- Gmail allows images up to 20MB in size.
- If the image is larger than 20MB, it will be resized to fit within the 20MB limit.
Outlook:
- Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) allows images up to 10MB in size.
- Outlook desktop client allows images up to 20MB in size.
Yahoo Mail:
- Yahoo Mail allows images up to 10MB in size.
Other email providers:
- AOL Mail: 10MB
- iCloud Mail: 20MB
- ProtonMail: 20MB
- Zoho Mail: 20MB
Best practices:
- Keep image sizes as small as possible to ensure they can be sent and received successfully.
- Use image compression tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to reduce image file sizes.
- Consider using responsive images that adjust to the recipient's screen size and resolution.
- If you need to send large images, consider using a file-sharing service like Dropbox or Google Drive instead of attaching them to an email.
Image size limits for specific file types:
- JPEG: 10MB
- PNG: 5MB
- GIF: 5MB
- BMP: 5MB
- TIFF: 5MB
Remember that these are general guidelines, and some email providers may have stricter limits or restrictions on image sizes. It's always a good idea to test your email campaigns with different image sizes and file types to ensure they are delivered successfully.
