How to Send a Video That Is Too Large for Email

Share a large video without exceeding attachment limits.

Quick Answer

Upload it to a trusted cloud/file-sharing service, set appropriate access permissions, and send the sharing link.

Step by Step

  1. Keep the original file or a backup before making destructive edits or conversions.
  2. Upload it to a trusted cloud/file-sharing service, set appropriate access permissions, and send the sharing link.
  3. Review the resulting image, video, or shared link to make sure quality and permissions are correct.
  4. Use a new filename for converted or edited copies until you are certain the original is no longer needed.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Avoid uploading private photos or videos to unknown online conversion sites.
  • File extensions alone do not always guarantee compatibility; video codecs, image metadata, cloud status, and application support can also matter.
