Compress File for Email Online
Compressing a file for email online is useful when an attachment is too large and you need a smaller copy without changing the original.
Pick the PDF, image, or video you want to email. The size check is free.

You do not normally need this. If you are sending to a work, school, or company address, paste it here and we will check the mail service when we can.
You can leave this empty. It is only here if you want to check a work, school, or company email address.

Rather have us make the smaller copy?
The check and advice above are free. You can try the changes yourself, or ask Devenia to make a smaller copy for you.
We use this to send the finished file and receipt.
What this page is for
This page helps you decide what kind of compression fits the file you are sending. PDFs, photos, videos, and office documents usually need different handling.
Online compression should produce a copy that is small enough to send and still useful to the recipient.
How to handle it
- Check the file size first.
- Choose the right method for the file type: PDF, image, video, or document.
- Use a moderate compression setting before trying the strongest option.
- Open the smaller copy and check the important content.
- Do not delete the original until the smaller file is accepted.
What to check before sending
- Open the smaller file before sending it.
- Check the final file size, not just the compression setting.
- Keep the original file until the recipient confirms the smaller copy works.
- Make sure important text, faces, forms, signatures, or charts are still clear.
