Make a file small enough to email.
Prepare a supported file for email by making it smaller or fitting the size limit you actually have to meet. This is not a Gmail or Outlook certification.

What an email limit really counts
Mail providers cap the whole message, not each file. Gmail's attachment limit stays about 25 MB, and attachments grow by roughly one third when they are encoded for transport. Several files add together. Leave headroom instead of aiming at the limit.
Steps to prepare files for email
- Choose the first file in Timamu Web: an image, a PDF or a video.
- Enter a size per file so the total stays under the limit. For three attachments and a 25 MB limit, 5 MB each leaves comfortable headroom after encoding.
- Download the prepared copies and attach them.
- Send a folder of files as one ZIP with Create ZIP when there are many.
Choosing the right route
- One PDF: use compress a PDF for email.
- Photos: use compress image and keep each under a share of the limit.
- A video: an exact target is Premium; Free uses the Free video allowance.
- Many files: pack a folder into a ZIP first.
Before you hit send
Open each prepared copy once to confirm it looks right. Give attachments clear names so the recipient can tell them apart. Keep the originals; Timamu never replaces them, and a second attempt starts from the untouched file.
Questions
Does Timamu check my email provider?
No. Timamu does not certify Gmail, Outlook or any other mail service. Compare the reported file size with the limit your provider states.
Why does a file under the limit still bounce?
Encoding adds about one third, and other attachments count too. Lower the combined size.
Does the recipient get a smaller image?
They receive the prepared copy you attach. Your original stays on your device.
Can I send a whole folder?
Pack it with Create ZIP, which is Free. A ZIP of photos and videos does not shrink them much, because those formats are already compressed, so prepare the large files first.
