Sending a photo via email

Have you ever been asked to send a photo of your travel ticket to claim expenses? Or perhaps you’ve been asked to sign and share something ahead of a workshop or interview? It all seems easy enough, but after you’ve sent it you receive a message back saying your photo is too small or the quality isn’t good enough. What do we do to get passed this?

If you’re just being asked to sign something, the good news is you don’t need to worry about sending a photo back. You can add a digital signature without having to move seats. See our blog "How to create a Digital Signature".
