Gmail allows attachments up to 25 MB. Attachments larger than this are uploaded to Google Drive as a link that the recipient can access if they have a Google account and you have shared the file with them. By compressing a video to under 25 MB, you can send it as a regular attachment that opens with a single click in any email program on any computer.
When you need 25 MB
- Gmail video attachments (25 MB hard cap)
Gmail won't send video files above 25 MB as attachments. Files above this limit are automatically converted to Drive links.
- Client review clips via email
Short product demos, interview recordings, and feedback recordings can be sent via email as a 25 MB attachment.
- Wedding or event highlights
2–5-minute highlight reels for family and friends to view via email are usually around 720p and less than 25 MB.
