Gmail email size

The maximum size of an email that can be sent through Gmail is 25 MB (megabytes). This is a standard limit set by most email providers, including Gmail, to prevent large files from being sent and to help prevent spam and malware.

However, there are some exceptions and workarounds to send larger files through Gmail:

1. Google Drive: You can upload your file to Google Drive and share the link with the recipient. This way, you can send files up to 750 GB (gigabytes) in size.
2. Google Docs: You can convert your file to a Google Doc and share it with the recipient. This way, you can send files up to 1 GB in size.
3. Gmail Attachments: You can use Gmail's attachment feature to send files up to 25 MB in size. However, if you need to send larger files, you can use a third-party service like WeTransfer or Dropbox to send the file.
4. Gmail's Large File Send: Gmail has a feature called "Large File Send" that allows you to send files up to 10 GB in size. To use this feature, you need to enable it in your Gmail settings and follow the instructions.

Here are some tips to help you send larger files through Gmail:

• Use a file compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip to reduce the file size.
• Break down large files into smaller chunks and send them separately.
• Use a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox to store and share your files.
• Use a third-party service like WeTransfer or Hightail to send large files.

Remember to always check with the recipient before sending large files to ensure they can receive and open the file.
