Reduce photo size in emails
In Windows 10, how can I reduce the size of photos I want to attach to my emails so that the entire photo either fits or is smaller than the screen size?

If you send an image as attachment, the system will automatically resize it to fit the screen when the recipient receives the attachment.
That's how I know it, and I have been sending pictures attachments for years and nobody ever told me I sent a picture too large to fit his/her screen.
Did you come across something to the contrary ?
There isn't a native way of shrinking photos in Win 10 as far as I know.
If I insert an image into Thunderbird, there's an option to reduce the size, for example, but that's a 3rd party program.
To reduce a group of images, you need a 3rd party program. I have one set up in my context menu.
I can't comment on the Mail client as I don't use it.
Davidhk --- My photos show up supersized, have to scroll up or down & sideways to see the entire photo.
I use the built-in MSPaint [in Windows Accessories on All Apps] to resize photos. It seldom works to enlarge photos as they become pixelated. Or if I use the older photo viewer, not Photos, I might try a PrntScrn and paste into Paint to Select then Crop the image.
If you go to Photo Gallery you can resize the photo you want send there
How I do it is
Open with Windows Photo Viewer
Then Click Open
A list will appear
Click on Photo Gallery
Then Edit or Resize
There you can do what you want with it
There are many ways to resize photos I guess but I always use MS Paint because it is there and it is easy.
I usually resize my uploaded screen prints to this forum to 50% (as they are too big otherwise).
All you need to do is open the picture, click on resize, make up a percentage and then save it again.
I must admit I forget to do it sometimes and some recipients are better than others at resizing what is received.
Yes I do know the difference as with windows photo viewer you cant resize
Also If you go to Photo Gallery
Then Edit and Properties there you can always resize your photo as well
He might not have it but he might decide to install it.

As he I believe asked how to reduce the size not send it as it is
