How to Reduce Photos for Email in Windows
Some email providers set restrictions on the size and resolution of photos you can send. This is a huge disadvantage, especially if your recipient wants to make large prints or use the images as wallpaper. You can reduce the size of high-resolution photos and send them to your recipients without downloading a third-party application.
