Mail systems reject large attachments, and the cutoff depends on the account. This page will not print a vendor’s megabyte number from memory. Shrink the photos here, attach them, and read the warning your mail app shows. If it offers to turn the file into a cloud link, that is the mail company uploading, which you can decline by attaching the local file instead or by sending fewer pictures. JPEG is the usual choice for photos in mail. A PNG of a screenshot may not shrink until you resize it. Location data is not copied into the new file.
Compress images for email stays on this device. The download is the copy you keep, and Weesize does not store a second one. Close the tab when you are finished and the bytes are gone.
