how can i resize multiple pictures for emailing in windows 10. My home business depends on me sending up to 20 pictures to clients.

I'd use Thunderbird as it can resize. https://www.google.com/search?q=Resize+photos+in+Thunderbird&gl=US
Get Thunderbird at it's site or Ninite.com. No addons required. Free too.
If you select a photo in File Explorer, then right click and choose Send to email recipient, Windows offers to reduce the size. As far as I know this is not dependent on the email program you use.
And as far as I can guess it also does it when you select 20 photo's in stead of 1.
Worth a try.
I thought this should work, too, and though everything goes according to plan up and through hitting the "send" button, the recepient never gets the email. There's no error message or message of any kind. Nothing to indicate it didn't go. I'm stumped.
Maybe it's still too big and blocked by the receivers mail server or ISP. Look in the sent items. Note the total size and the size of each pic. Then try forwarding it with half of the pics. Finally with one.

You can resize large blocks of photos to any percentage you choose.

Install the program, open it, then click on File in the upper left, choose "Batch conversion/rename". Once there, place a CHECK mark in the "Use advanced options for bulk resize", then click on the "Advanced" button. Once there, change the "Set new size to percentage of original", and make it 50%, or what ever you choose. (I frequently use 80% and it greatly reduces the file size.) Then add the file to be reduced in the "Batch Conversion" window and go through the steps to reduce their size.
Once that's done, you can find the reduce files in the location you placed them and email more files than before.
Hope this helps.
