How to Send Large Files via Email

Most email providers limit attachments to 20MB – 25MB. If your file is larger, you’ll need an alternative way to send it.

Best ways to send large files

  • Use cloud storage: Upload to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox and send a link.
  • Compress the file: Zip large files before attaching them.
  • Use a file transfer service: Services like WeTransfer or SendAnywhere let you email download links.

Using the right method for sending large files prevents emails from bouncing due to size limits, ensures faster delivery and downloads, and preserves file quality without the need for resizing or splitting.
