Gmail mail size limit attachment
The maximum size limit for a Gmail email message, including attachments, is 25 megabytes (MB). This means that you can send an email with a maximum size of 25 MB, including the size of the email body, subject line, and any attachments.
Here's a breakdown of the Gmail size limits:
- Email body: There is no specific limit on the size of the email body, but it's recommended to keep it concise and under 10,000 characters (about 1,500-2,000 words).
- Attachments: The maximum size limit for attachments is 25 MB. You can attach multiple files, but the total size of all attachments cannot exceed 25 MB.
- Total message size: The total size of the email message, including the email body, subject line, and attachments, cannot exceed 25 MB.
If you try to send an email that exceeds the 25 MB limit, Gmail will display an error message and prevent you from sending the email. You can reduce the size of your email by:
- Compressing large files using tools like WinZip or 7-Zip
- Breaking up large files into smaller chunks
- Using cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox to share files
- Reducing the size of your email body by using a more concise writing style
It's worth noting that Gmail has a separate limit for sending large files, known as "Google Drive attachments." If you need to send files larger than 25 MB, you can use this feature to upload your files to Google Drive and share the link with the recipient.
