1481406 2021-10-20 02:22:00 Is there an easy way to reduce the file size in Android phone?

Some sites suggested to 'share' via email and reduce the size before sending, but I couldn't find any option to do it.

I am using GMail.

Very sparse information in your post.

Check if you can edit the photo as well. Maybe it can resize it

.

When emailing photos ,My Android doesnt give an option to reduce the photo/file size either .

I do get an option to create a shareable link : ie it uploads the photo to the cloud & emails a link to where that photo can be viewed/downloaded from .
Thats how I now email photos from my phone

1481415 2021-10-26 08:40:00 I presume you want to send more than one photo in an email and your camera is set to [3:4 64MP] This equates to about 19MB, the limit for file attachments on Gmail is 25MB
You can resize a photo in Gallery.
Select the photo
Select the Edit (Pencil near the bottom.)
Select the 3 dots (top right)
Select Resize
Select the size you want to send, there are 4 options plus the original (select the option that best suits you)
Select Done
Select the 3 dots again
Select Save as Copy, (if you also want to keep the original) it puts a new date and time for the saved photo
Now you can attach more than one photo to your Gmail
I tried this and it works on my A52
