How To Send Pictures From Windows To Iphone

If you want to send a photo or image in an email, then this quick and easy guide will help you do that. Photos and documents, or any type of file for that matter, can be attached to an e-mail and sent so the receiver can open the file on their computer (providing they have the necessary software). You can also save pictures within the email page so you can arrange them with relevant text to illustrate part of the mail or add a caption. Sending photos as an attachment is actually pretty easy to do once you know how so to get you up to speed, here's how you can do exactly that on a variety of devices.

Image File Size

Before we get into the ins and outs of sending images as attachments we thought we'd discuss image file sizes as some image files will be too large to send over email. However, there are ways you can optimise the sizes of your images for email to help avoid exceeding the maximum message size limit, something we'll be discussing shortly.

Another issue with large files is that they take up a lot of room in a mailbox so the person you're sending the file to may not have the space required to receive a large file.

There are many programs now that offer an automatic email send option that resizes the photo before it is attached, or you can resize the image yourself in photo editing software. For advice on how to do this, see our article on resizing photographs.The only thing when you resize is that the person who receives the photo won't be able to print a large version of the image if you have saved it at, say, 500 pixels wide.

Instead of changing the resolution of the image, you can reduce the file size by compressing it. You can do this within the email system or you can download software, such as 7-Zip, so you can compress files outside of your mail.

If you still find the image is still too large to send, you can use a free transfer site such as WeTransfer to send up to 2GB for free.

Here is the jump to navigation tools you can use to read about a particular email software:

• Outlook.com
• Gmail
• Yahoo Mail
• Windows 10 Mail App
• Thunderbird
• Apple Mail On iOS Devices
• Android
• Mac
• Receiving Photos

How To Send Photos with Outlook.com

1. Open Up Your Outlook Email Webmail Account

Log into your account and click 'new' to prepare your email. Add the address of the person you are sending to, a subject line and your message then click the paperclip icon to add the image as an attachment or the image icon to insert the image into the actual message (inline).

2. Attach An Image

When you click the paperclip icon you'll be able to access the OneDrive where you can store files but you're more than likely going to be sending an image that's stored on your computer so click on 'Computer'. This will open up a window where you can browse your computer to find the file you want to send. When you've located it, click 'open'.

If your file's pretty big, you'll get a message asking if you want to share it with OneDrive to reduce the email size. You can actually work with others in real time on files shared to the OneDrive so long as they can access the file. There's also an option to 'Attach as a copy' so the recipient can see the file but it can't be edited etc. on the OneDrive cloud. Once you choose your option, the file will be added to the email and appear above your message (shown below).

Receiving Photos

1. Click on the message to open it and the file icon will appear in an attachment field either as a small preview of the image or as an image file name next to a paperclip icon (depending on your mail software).
2. You can click on the attachment and drag it to the desktop or an image folder or save to a specific location (how you do this will depend on the mail software you are using).
3. If you double click on the file it will open in the default program that you have set for that type of file format. ie those ending in .jpeg may open in Photoshop or some web-based mail clients have their own preview windows which will open.

Be careful when receiving files ensuring that they are from a known source before you open them, as there are many SPAM emails that have Virus files attached. Use a virus checking program to prevent this such as Norton AntiVirus. The common file formats to avoid opening without virus checking include .pif, .scr and .exe.
