iPhone X Captuaring photos with less resolution to be sent via emails

[zillah]

Dear folk

I have realized that my email won't get send when I am attaching 6 or 7 photos (not videos) that were taken by my iphone x then I would assume it might be the size of the photos ( high resolutions ).

Can I change the resolutions for photos (not videos) ?

When i was searching online I found how to change fps (frames per second) for videos but not for photos

Thanks

What are you using to send the emails? Most email clients (including the native mail clients on iOS and MacOS) will let you resize photos once you've attached them before you send the email

Use the Apple mail app to resize and send to your outlook email address, then forward onto your recipient.

Just configure the standard mail app with your email account.
Before sending you can choose there the resolution

I don’t think Outlook lets you resize photos, so you would have to use a photo editing or resizing app to make smaller versions to attach, or use the native mail app for this purpose as others have suggested. You can use the native mail app only for this purpose and then use Outlook for all other email transactions

Unfortunately email is a pretty bad way to share multiple photos. I will occasionally share one or two that way, but the internet has offered plenty of better ways to share large files for years. Why not use a photo stream shared album? The recipient doesn’t even need to have an iCloud account or iPhone. You can just send them a web link to the photo stream.

There are plenty of other ways to share photos and videos online. If you have Outlook then I am guessing you have a Microsoft email account. If includes Onedrive then you can also share photos or files from there with a link to the folder. If security is concerned you can require that they sign in using a free Microsoft account or you can send a link that will expire.

It would be nice if Apple gave us a way to decrease image sizes. I know they give you a choice for send emails but there are times I want a lower resolution image to post on a forum and the images are alway way to big.

I used to switch iMessage to reduce the resolution of photos that I send, and then send the photo via iMessage to myself, then save the reduced resolution version that I received to my phone (or copy it), so that I could email the reduced version.

When hitting send, you can select the quality and size of the attachment.

Whaddaya know? Sometimes you just have to try something. I was digging through all the settings but never thought to just try sending.

I still think there are better ways to share images, but email is fine as long as you don't need to share too many and it's okay if the size/quality get reduced.

@Recognition above said that built-in mail does this, but we didn't know outlook also did that when you hit send. I don't use outlook or the gmail app, but my wife has to use outlook mail for her work email all the time. I'll share this with her.

My son and daughters share photos with iCloud photo sharing, for full rez copies that we don't have to share via mail and text, nor use bandwidth unless we open the thumbnails (iCloud photo library is set for optimized and not keeping originals).
