How to Send Large Files From Your Phone (iPhone & Android)
Phones take huge 4K videos and high-resolution photos, then chat apps and email either reject them or squash the quality. You do not need a computer or an app to fix this. Here is how to send a large file straight from your phone for free, keeping full quality, using only your browser and a link.
Why your phone files are too big to send
Modern phones record 4K video and shoot multi-megapixel photos, so a single clip can be hundreds of megabytes. Email caps attachments at around 25MB, and chat apps either block large files or recompress them to send faster, which is what makes a sharp video arrive blurry.
The fix is not to shrink the file. It is to upload it once and share a link, so the person gets the original at full quality with no size limit in the way.
Send a large file from your phone in three steps
First, open your phone browser and go to SAVEDLY. There is nothing to install and no account to create. Tap the upload box and pick the video or photo from your camera roll or gallery.
Second, wait for the upload to finish. There is no size limit, so even a long 4K clip goes through, and the only real wait is your connection speed.
Third, copy the link it gives you and paste it into Messages, WhatsApp, Mail, or any app. The person opens the link and watches or downloads the file at full quality.
On iPhone
Open SAVEDLY in Safari, tap the upload area, and choose Photo Library to grab a video or photo straight from your camera roll. After it uploads, copy the link and drop it into Messages or Mail. The clip keeps its original quality instead of the lower-quality version iMessage would send to an Android phone.
On Android
Open SAVEDLY in Chrome, tap upload, and select the file from your gallery or Files app. Copy the link when it finishes and share it in WhatsApp, Gmail, or anywhere. Because you share a link, the WhatsApp size limit and Gmail attachment cap no longer apply.
Keep the original quality
The whole point of sharing a link instead of attaching the file is that the recipient gets the exact file you recorded, with no recompression. A 4K video stays 4K, and a high-resolution photo keeps its full detail. On SAVEDLY there is no watermark and no resizing.

How do I send a large video from my phone for free?
Open SAVEDLY in your phone browser, upload the video from your camera roll, and copy the link it gives you. Paste that link into any chat or email. There is no app, no account, and no size limit, and the video keeps its original quality.
How do I send a large file from iPhone to Android?
Upload the file to SAVEDLY in Safari and share the link. This avoids the low-quality version iMessage sends to Android, because the link points to the original full-quality file that opens the same on any phone.
Can I send a file from my phone without an app?
Yes. SAVEDLY runs in your phone browser, so there is nothing to install. You upload, copy the link, and share it. The person who receives it also needs no app to open or download the file.
Why does my phone say the file is too big to send?
Email caps attachments around 25MB and chat apps limit file sizes, so a normal phone video easily exceeds them. Uploading to SAVEDLY and sharing a link removes the size limit, since only a short link travels through the app.
Does sending a link lower the quality?
No. The link points to the original file you uploaded, so the recipient gets full quality with no recompression. This is better than chat apps, which shrink videos and photos to send them faster.
