Quick ways to email photo batches without hitting attachment limits
Morning folks! Quick question for anyone who deals with clients on a regular basis. I just finished a small product photography shoot for a local bakery, and they need all the final JPEGs sent over via email ASAP. The problem is, when I try to bundle them up and send them as an attachment, my mail client keeps yelling at me because the total folder size is way over the attachment limit. I could use Google Drive or Dropbox links, but honestly, older clients sometimes get so confused trying to download zip folders from cloud storage. Is there an easier way to shrink down a batch of photos so they fit nicely into standard emails without driving me crazy?

Good morning! Ah, dealing with clients who struggle with cloud links is a classic freelance struggle totally been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt! Instead of messing around with zip archives or complicated cloud permissions, the easiest workaround is just to reduce the file footprint of the images directly before sending them out. I usually run my batches through compress jpg right before attaching them to my email client. It shrinks the file weights down so much that even a handful of photos slip right under standard email limits without any fuss. It keeps the workflow smooth and keeps your clients happy and stress-free!
