## Answer

Gmail rejects oversized attachments. Drop your PDF below, use Keep text for everyday mail or Target size when a form is stricter. Compression runs locally — nothing is uploaded to mypdf.

## Limits

- Exact Gmail limits can change; when unsure, stay well under 25 MB.
- Very image-heavy decks may need Max shrink or a size page like 2 MB / 5 MB.

## FAQ

### What size PDF can I send with Gmail?

Gmail’s limit is on the large side for consumer email, but many corporate filters are stricter. Prefer under 10–25 MB; portals often want 1–2 MB.

### Does compress for Gmail upload my file?

No. It runs in your browser.

### Still too large?

Split the PDF or use Drive links for huge decks — or Target size on a size page.
