How to Send Compressed Pictures in Gmail from The Android?

I always have this problem due to the super camera in my phone the pictures size is very big. I need to somehow compressed it before I send it.

My current method now is send it to whatsapp, then send that image.

Is there a better, easier, free way?

  • Plenty of free apps that will do that for you. (Just search for image resizer)

    Wouldn't a simple google search been the first port of research?

    • I found this thread much better than a Google thread personally.

      The extra information you get here from other users I personally prefer over some other websites.

      Hive mind slash community effort is always nice especially when the format is somewhat tailored to you which in this case is financially conscious Australians maybe and trolls haha lol.

      That fits me to a tee.

    Or an open-source variant from F-Droid - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.kaffeemitkoffein.imagepip…

    For single-purpose apps I generally try and go open-source where possible, but that's just me.

      +1 for open source. You never know where you images could be sent to. This is why I never use online converters.

  • There are some apps that allow you to resize images. What I would recommend doing is if you can, just turn down the picture quality of your images through your camera app or Settings if you use an iPhone

    Doesn't iOS ask you if you want to automatically resize it when you add them? "Small, medium, large, full size".

  • This might help

    "Although Gmail has a resizing tool for images placed inline in the body of an email, it can't help you reduce photos sent as attachments"

    I do disagree with "cant"… should be wont…

  • What you're doing is prob easiest, that or text it to yourself first.
