Send dozens of photos at once — zip them in the browser, no software needed
2026-10-06
Attaching photos one by one means the recipient downloads them one by one. A single ZIP fixes that, but many work computers have no archiving software installed. The browser can do it.
Use the tool
Shrink before you zip
Thirty phone photos exceed 100 MB, and zipping barely helps because JPGs are already compressed. Run them through Compress image at about quality 80 first, and if they will only be viewed on screen, resize to around 2000 pixels wide. That usually brings the set under a fifth of the original.
Zip and send
- Upload the reduced photos to the zip tool and choose create
- Attach the single ZIP. If it exceeds the email limit, usually 10 to 25 MB, split into two archives
- Sent as a file in a messenger, a ZIP avoids the messenger recompressing the photos
On the receiving end
Phones open ZIPs with the built-in files app. On a PC without archiving software, the same tool's extract mode opens it.
