    I had to send a large file recently and I used this

    There are lots of other options if you google something along the lines of "send large file by email".
    Or you could try online file sharing - again, if you google it, there are various different options

    Irfan View is by far the best I have tried.

    Easy, fast and really reduces the size.

    The easiest way would be to make a zip file, dump the pictures in there and then attach to your email.

    Google will have some instructions.
    Ha ha what level of compression do you expect using that , 1-3% perhaps.OP(norma) you need to resize the images using GIMP/Irfan/Photoshop etc , or upload to somewhere else and send a link. JPEG images are already compressed and no compression utility will make much difference. It depends if you are wanting just to send a sample of the piccy or if you want the recipient to be able to print it at the best quality.
