Best settings for email photos

Use JPEG for broad compatibility, strip EXIF metadata, and keep each photo under about 500KB when sending several images. For inline newsletter images, resize to the display width before compressing.

FAQ

Why not use WebP for email?

Many email clients handle JPEG more reliably than WebP. This page defaults to JPEG for compatibility.

What size should email photos be?

Under 500KB per photo is a practical target for attachments. Inline email images are often best at 800-1200px wide.
