Email size limit hotmail

The email size limit for Hotmail (now known as Outlook.com) is 20 MB (megabytes). This means that any email you send or receive through Hotmail cannot exceed 20 MB in size.

If you try to send an email that is larger than 20 MB, you will receive an error message indicating that the file is too large to send. You can try to reduce the size of the file by compressing it or breaking it up into smaller attachments.

Here are some tips to help you reduce the size of your email attachments:

1. Compress files: Use a file compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip to compress your files before attaching them to your email.
2. Use smaller file formats: Instead of attaching large files like videos or images, consider sharing them through a file-sharing service like Dropbox or Google Drive.
3. Break up large files: If you need to send a large file, consider breaking it up into smaller parts and attaching each part separately.
4. Use email services with larger attachment limits: If you need to send large files regularly, you may want to consider using an email service that has a larger attachment limit, such as Gmail (25 MB) or Yahoo Mail (25 MB).

It's worth noting that Hotmail's 20 MB attachment limit is a relatively low limit compared to other email services. If you need to send large files regularly, you may want to consider using a different email service or a file-sharing service.
