Send large files via email —paste a link instead
When a file is too big to attach, upload it here, get a shareable link, and paste that into your email instead — it always sends, and the recipient just clicks to view it in any browser.

How to email a file that's too big to attach
- 1
Upload the file that won't attach
Drag your PDF, video, image, or ZIP onto the card above. It hosts in seconds and gives you a clean, shareable link — no re-zipping, no splitting into parts.
- 2
Copy the link (a few characters, not megabytes)
Grab the link. It's tiny text, so it can't hit any attachment cap. Paste it where you'd normally click 'attach' — in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or any webmail.
- 3
Write the email and send
Add a line like 'Here's the file:' before the link so it doesn't look like spam. Send. Because there's no heavy payload, it leaves your outbox instantly and lands in their inbox — not their bounce folder.

Watch it get opened
Every link has a view counter, so you can see the recipient actually opened it instead of chasing 'did you get it?' replies. On Pro you also see the devices and countries.
The real limits: 25 MB Gmail, 20 MB Outlook
Gmail stops attachments at 25 MB, Outlook.com at 20 MB, and many corporate Exchange servers are locked down to 10 MB. The catch: those numbers count the encoded size, not the file on your disk. Email attachments are base64-encoded, which adds roughly 33% — so a 19 MB clip can arrive as ~25 MB and get refused. Sending a link sidesteps the math entirely, because the link is a handful of characters no matter how large the file behind it is.
Why big attachments bounce or vanish
Oversized email fails in three unhelpful ways. It bounces with a 552 'message size exceeds limit' error, sometimes hours later. It gets silently clipped, so the recipient sees your text but the attachment is stripped. Or the receiving server accepts it but a spam filter quarantines the heavy message. With a link, the email itself is featherweight: it passes size checks, doesn't trip attachment filters, and delivers like any normal note.
Kinder on the recipient's inbox
A 40 MB attachment lands in the recipient's mailbox and eats their storage quota — and if they forward it, it multiplies. Many people are still on inboxes capped at a few gigabytes, so a couple of large attachments push them over. A link weighs almost nothing: it doesn't count against their quota, downloads nothing until they choose to, and they can open the file in the browser to skim it before deciding whether to save a copy. You look considerate; they stay under quota.

questions
Gmail caps attachments at 25 MB and Outlook.com at 20 MB, and encoding makes the real limit lower. Sending a link avoids all of this because a link is just a bit of text.
The free plan covers files up to 100 MB — bigger than any email attachment allows — and Pro raises it to 200 MB. The link stays tiny no matter how large the file is.
No. They click the link and the file opens straight in their browser — no login, no app to install, and no 'request access' wall like a shared Drive folder.
Mail servers reject oversized messages outright rather than delivering them slowly, or silently strip the attachment. A link email is tiny, so it passes those checks and delivers like a normal note.
You can copy the link and paste it into your own email, which keeps the message coming from your address. On Pro there's also a built-in email-the-link option to send it directly from here.
