What You Will Need:

• A computer or tablet with internet access.
• The images you want to compress stored on your device.
• An email account.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open Your Email:
   
   • Click on the email program you usually use (like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo).
   • If you're not already logged in, enter your email address and password.

   
   

2. Start a New Email:
   
   • Look for a button that says “New Email”, “Compose”, or has a picture of a pencil on paper. Click on it.

   
   

3. Address the Email to Yourself:
   
   • Click in the “To” box and type your own email address. This way, you will be sending the images to yourself.

   
   

4. Adding Images:
   
   • Find the “Attach files” button, which might look like a paperclip or a plus (+) sign.
   • Click on this button.

   
   

5. Select the Images:
   
   • A window will pop up showing files on your computer. Navigate to the folder where your images are stored.
   • Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click on each image you want to attach. You can select up to 10 images.
   • After selecting the images, click “Open” or “Attach” in the window. This will add the images to your email.

   
   

6. Email Compression:
   
   • Most email services automatically compress images when you attach them to an email. This means the images will be made smaller and easier to send.

   
   

7. Send the Email:
   
   • Once all your images are attached, you can click the “Send” button. This might look like a paper plane.
   
   

1. Check Your Email:
   
   • Open your inbox to check if you’ve received the email.
   • You can download the compressed images from the email if you need them later.

   
   

2. Downloading Compressed Images (Optional):
   
   • Open the email you sent to yourself.
   • You will see your images either as thumbnails or as attachments at the bottom of the email.
   • To save them, click on each image or attachment and select “Download” or “Save”.

Tips:

• If you struggle with any steps, ask a family member or friend to help. It’s okay to take your time.
• If the images look too small or lose quality, try sending fewer images in each email to reduce the compression.
