Updated: 08/16/2021 by Computer Hope

While adding attachments to an e-mail is similar in most cases, there are far too many e-mail programs for us to cover them all. This page contains information on how to attach photos, pictures, documents, and other files in popular programs and services. You may have to adapt the following steps to fit the specific e-mail program or service you use. To proceed, choose your program or service from the list below and follow the instructions.

• Tips on sending attachments.
• Gmail
• Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail).
• Yahoo!
• Apple Mail
• Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Mail app on iPhone or iPad.
• Mail app on Android phone or tablet.

Tips on sending attachments

The following are important points to consider when sending any attachment through e-mail.

• It is common courtesy to send only one to five attachments in a single e-mail. If you have more than five pictures, we suggest you post them online and send a link to that site, or compress all the files into one file.
• If you want to send a video through e-mail, it's a better idea to send a link to the video instead.
• To send a file larger than 25 MB, we suggest you post it using one of the services mentioned above as most Internet e-mail services have that as their limit. For more information, see our page on how to send big attachments.
• Consider using an image editor to reduce the size of images. Images often take up a considerable amount space. Not only does this cause longer download times, but it reduces the number of images you can send.
• You may attach multiple pictures at the same time by holding down the Ctrl, and then clicking each file individually.
• You can drag-and-drop attachments into the body of an e-mail message.
