JPG, PNG, or WebP for email?
JPG is usually the best choice for email photos because it keeps image files smaller.
PNG is better for screenshots, graphics, logos, and images with sharp text.
WebP can be very small, but JPG is still safer when the recipient or upload form may use older software.
Common email attachment problems
- Image file is too large to attach.
- Email takes too long to send.
- Recipient cannot download large photos easily.
- Multiple phone photos make the email too heavy.
- Online form rejects the image because the file size is above the limit.
