Large files can be slow to send, but resizing too aggressively makes text and fine borders soft. Start with the original download and make a smaller copy only when needed.
Keep the original file so you can return to it for printing or higher-quality sharing.

Protect the readable details
Names, dates, times and venue information should remain legible at normal phone size. After resizing, open the image without zooming and check each of these lines.
If details become hard to read, use a larger version or send the original as a document where your messaging app allows it.

Use a clear file name
Name the final file with the event and date so family members can identify the current version. Avoid sending several near-identical files without explaining which one is final.
A quick test send can reveal how a messaging app changes the image before your full share.
