How to Send Big JPG Files Without Quality Loss
Photographers, artists and medical imaging specialists use Joint Photographic Experts Group, or JPEG, type files to store and present digital photos because JPEGs provide high-quality images that utilize a wide spectrum of colors. Because this type of file uses 24 bits of memory for each pixel, JPEG file sizes can quickly become very large, especially for high-megapixel (MP) images. Photo-editing programs can compress these files; however, any JPEG compression results in a decline in the image's quality. Sending large JPEGs can clog a recipient's e-mail inbox, and every e-mail provider limits the file size a user can send and receive.

Tips & Warnings
E-mail the person to whom you're sending the file to let him or her know that they should look for the notification from the website you used to send the JPEG. Let the recipient know to also check his or her e-mail's spam folder in case the e-mail provider's default settings send the notification there.
