Why you can't email large files directly

Gmail limits attachments to 25 MB. Outlook limits to 20 MB. Most email providers have similar restrictions.

These limits exist because email servers aren't designed to handle large file storage. The solution is to host the file separately and send a download link.

freesend.io does this automatically: you upload up to 100 GB, and the recipient gets an email with a direct download link — same workflow as an attachment, but without size limits.

How to email large files with freesend.io

1. Go to freesend.io. Enter your email and recipient's email. Select files (up to 100 GB). Click Send.

2. Verify your email with a one-click link. Your files are uploaded to Cloudflare R2.

3. Recipient gets an email with a download link, valid for 7 days — just like a large attachment.

FAQ

What is the maximum file size I can send by email?

Gmail limits are 25 MB. freesend.io has no size limit on the email delivery workflow — it hosts files up to 100 GB and sends the recipient a download link via email.

Is freesend.io the same as emailing an attachment?

Nearly. Instead of attaching the file to the email, freesend.io uploads the file and includes a download link in the delivery email. The recipient experience is very similar.

Does the recipient need to be on freesend.io?

No. The recipient just clicks the link in the email — no account, no app, no registration required.

How is freesend.io different from Google Drive sharing?

Google Drive requires a Google account to upload. freesend.io requires no account. Drive links don't expire automatically; freesend.io links expire after 7 days for privacy.

Can I send to multiple email addresses?

Currently, freesend.io supports sending to one recipient email at a time. You can forward the download link to additional recipients after sending.
