Gmail file size limit: What is the size limit on email attachments in Gmail?

Google Gmail has received a radical redesign, making the interface intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. Gmail also boasts powerful spam blocking software. And another plus is the ease with

which it integrates with other Google services, such as Google Drive, Google Maps, and YouTube.

Gmail users can attach files up to 25MB and upload multiple files at once.

Once files are attached to the email, documents and images are displayed as thumbnails, ensuring you have attached what you wanted.

Attachments received in an incoming message are also displayed as thumbnails to reassure you they are safe to download.

This goes for documents, downloads and spreadsheets, and all the other items you store there.

Photos you upload without compressing will not contribute toward the 15GB limit.

This is a helpful feature because photos notoriously use up space up very quickly.

This makes Google Photos a fantastic option for backing up all your images.
