How do I share a photo or other files?
For all Remind users.
You can easily send photos and other files as part of your messages on the web or via the Remind app. We recommend attaching a picture of a poster, PDF, or photo to share more information when you’ve reached the character limit for an announcement.

Things to keep in mind
-
When you send a message to SMS recipients with one or more attachments, it will include a link allowing them to view the entire message and attachments.
- Members of a paid organization can add up to 10 file attachments, including photos. The attachment plus sign will turn gray after the limit is reached.
- Members that are a part of free organizations can add up to 3 file attachments, including photos and voice clips. The attachment plus sign will turn gray after the limit is reached.
- Each file must be under 10MB (PDF, .doc, .mp4, .gif, .png, .jpeg, .heic, etc).
- If your picture appears sideways or people can't view it, try cropping it or reducing the resolution to 2952 x 3936 pixels or less. If you have this problem using an HEIC image, try converting it to another format.

Only Remind Hub administrators with the urgent messaging feature will see the Urgent Message option.
