What is the maximum email size at Bacan?

At Bacan, we do not impose a specific limit on the size of your emails. However, it is important to keep in mind that many of the major email providers such as Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo do apply restrictions.

📌 Recommended limit:
Most email services reject messages exceeding 25 MB (including attachments). Therefore, we recommend not sending emails larger than this size to ensure your message reaches the recipient correctly.

What to do if I need to send larger files?

If your file exceeds 25 MB, the best option is to use a very simple alternative method:

Upload the file to your website or to a space in your hosting.
For example, you can upload it through your File Manager in cPanel or DirectAdmin.
Copy the direct link to the file.
Include that link in your email.
This way the recipient can download the file without any problem, regardless of its size.

Practical example:
Instead of attaching a 30 MB video, upload it to your website and write in your email something like:
"You can download the video here: https://yourdomain.com/videos/video.mp4"

Useful tips:

Before sending large files, compress documents in .zip or .rar format to reduce their size.
Verify that the download link is working and that the file has been correctly uploaded to your web space.
Always inform the recipient about the file type and the reason for the link to avoid distrust.

Remember:

To ensure your emails arrive without issues, keep attachments below 25 MB. If you need to send larger files, use your own hosting to share download links easily and securely.
