How to Send a File Over 25MB on Gmail

Gmail is one of the most popular email services in the world—but it comes with a well-known limitation: you can’t send attachments larger than 25MB. If you’ve ever tried emailing a PDF, video, or large document, you’ve probably seen Gmail automatically replace your attachment with a Google Drive link.

While Google Drive works for some users, it’s not always ideal. Many recipients dislike cloud links, face access restrictions, or simply want the file delivered directly as a real email attachment.

Why Gmail blocks attachments over 25MB

Gmail enforces a 25MB attachment limit to reduce server load and improve delivery reliability. When a file exceeds this limit, Gmail uploads it to Google Drive and inserts a sharing link instead. This often creates new problems:

  • Recipients may need to log in to a Google account
  • Company firewalls may block Google Drive links
  • Permissions may be misconfigured or expire
  • Extra steps slow down file access

The easiest way to send files over 25MB on Gmail

SendSplit offers a simple alternative. Instead of sending cloud links, SendSplit allows you to send files up to 200MB as true email attachments, even when Gmail’s limit would normally block them.

Using SendSplit is straightforward:

  1. Upload your file (PDF, document, image, or video — up to 200MB)
  2. Select an attachment split size (10MB, 20MB, or 25MB)
  3. Enter the recipient’s email address
  4. Click send

SendSplit automatically splits your file into smaller chunks and delivers them as real email attachments. Your recipient simply downloads the attachments directly from their inbox—no cloud links, no logins.
