Email design that works in Outlook, free
Start from one of 42 templates, put it in your brand, and export HTML that holds together in classic Outlook, Gmail and Apple Mail. No account, no export limit.
A designed email, without writing code.
The same editor we build our own emails in. Everything it makes is plain HTML you own and can send from any platform.
Start from a template
42 designed emails, each one click from the editor.
Edit where it sits
Drag blocks into place and type straight into the email.
Outlook fallbacks, written for you
Ghost tables, drawn buttons and fixed line heights go into every export.
Export for your platform
One HTML file with its styles inline. Pick one of 16 platforms and the merge tags and footer links are written in its syntax. No limit.
Bring your own HTML
Import an email you already have and change it in the editor.
Saved in your browser
No account to make. Your work stays on the device you used.
One email, two widths.
The same HTML file at 640 pixels wide and at 375. The phone view is the email’s own phone styles, not the desktop picture made smaller.
What the HTML does for Outlook
Tables for layout
Word’s engine does not support float or position, so columns are table cells with fixed pixel widths. Microsoft’s list of unsupported properties.
Ghost tables
A fixed-width table inside an if-mso comment gives a full-width band something to sit in, because max-width is unsupported.
Drawn buttons
Classic Outlook ignores border-radius, so a VML rounded rectangle sits behind the link. The pattern, and when new Outlook makes it unnecessary.
Inline styles and a style block
Styles are written inline, and the media queries that stack columns on a phone live in the style block.
Hosted images, small source
Litmus reports that Gmail clips a message over 102 KB of HTML, so images are hosted and the size of the source is watched while building. What is known about the limit.
Questions about the editor
Something we have not answered? Ask, and we'll get back to you ASAP.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account to make, no paid tier and no limit on exports. It is the editor we build our own emails in.
Will the HTML work in my email platform?
The export is one HTML file with its styles inline, the form email platforms take as custom HTML. Choose your platform when you export, and the merge tags and the unsubscribe and view in browser links are rewritten in its own syntax, for 16 platforms including Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Marketo, Account Engagement (Pardot), Marketing Cloud and Eloqua. A Marketo export also carries the template syntax that makes each section and its copy editable. Send yourself a test from your platform before the real send.
Can I start from an email I already have?
Yes. Import its HTML into the editor and change it there, or start from one of the templates.
Where is my work saved?
In your browser, on the device you used. Export the HTML to keep a copy anywhere else.
Can you design it for us?
Not as a separate job. The emails in our outbound system are drafted, checked and built for you. For a single designed email, the editor and the templates are the quicker route.
Check it, then send it.
