Photos small enough to send
Phone photos are often 3 to 10 MB each, so a few of them fill an e-mail's attachment limit. This recipe makes each photo no longer than 1600 pixels, which is still sharp on any screen, and saves it as a JPG under 500 KB.
Run it on a whole batch and download a ZIP to attach. The photos are resized in your browser and their hidden data, such as GPS location, is removed along the way.
