Whether you're sharing vacation pictures or sending an important chart to your team, knowing how to email photos quickly and in the correct way can save you a lot of time. However, the steps vary depending on your device and the email service you use - and large files come with their own challenge!
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to send photos by email.
There are many ways to send several images by email. The right method depends mainly on the number of images, their size, but also what your email provider supports.
This is the most intuitive method when you have only a few photos to send. Simply select your photos from your computer, gallery, cloud storage, or a URL, and attach them using the add file function. Most email software even allow you to drag and drop directly from your desktop into the email composition window.
When sending a large number of images or large photos, it may be useful to reduce the file size or dimensions of your photos. To do this, you can first use image optimization software such as Caesium, which allows you to resize and optimize the files.
If you are sending multiple photos, another method is to gather them in a single folder, right-click on the folder, and then compress it into a Zip file. If your device does not have this feature, use a third-party tool such as 7-Zip.
If you use an online workspace such as Google Drive or OneDrive, sharing photos is straightforward! Simply drop them into an online folder and share the link with your recipients.
This is a handy option for quickly sharing large files without cluttering up your inbox. It also makes it easier to share visuals with your team, like email signatures or branded assets.
Another effective option for large files is to avoid attachments altogether by using a file-sharing service
With a tool such as Wetransfer or Filemail, simply drop your large files onto the interface, then enter your professional or personal email address. The recipient will then receive a download link to your files.
Want to keep it simple and send one or more photos one by one? Here's how to do it using the main email software program on desktop, as well as on a smartphone.

Yes, with the 'Campaigns' offer, it is possible to track the number of clicks on the email signatures of all your employees in the 'Statistics' area of the platform.
You can then access a detailed or global view of the number of clicks on the email signatures of each employee. You can use the search option to target a specific signature or a given period. Finally, you have the possibility to export all statistics to an Excel document.
If you launch campaigns with banners inserted in your email signatures, you can also access their performance via this same space.
With Letsignit, you can easily add social network icons in your collaborators' email signatures and link to your company pages. Also, our "attributes" feature allows you to manage personalized URLs for each of your collaborators such as their individual LinkedIn profile.
And that's not all: you can add links to an appointment-setting application, allow your customers to leave reviews easily, and integrate our 'Chat on Teams' widget to let anyone start a discussion via Microsoft Teams chat.
It’s up to you! As an administrator of the Letsignit platform, you choose whether or not to grant modification rights to your employees. These permissions are managed on an attribute-by-attribute basis, which means that you can decide to allow the employee to change their phone number, but not the address of your premises, for example.
This feature applies to all attributes in your directory, including custom attributes created on Letsignit. When your employees change one or more attributes, your directory is obviously not affected.
It often happens that employees make their email signature their own: custom format, bad fonts, colors inconsistent with the brand standards... all of this has an impact on your brand!
A consistent visual identity is considered authentic and outperforms a perceived weak one by 20%. And, your customers are 2.4 times more likely to buy your products.
With Letsignit, take back control over your brand identity by standardizing all your email signatures. Our tool has many features that allow you to customize your signatures by department, by audience or by subsidiary. Not to mention the possibility of carrying out campaigns within your email signatures thanks to our Campaign offer.
