Is the email template builder really free?

Yes. Build, preview and export as many templates as you like without creating an account. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you build is uploaded to our servers.

Is this an online email template builder, or do I need to install anything?

It runs entirely online in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create: open the builder, design the email, and copy the HTML. It works in any current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.

Can I use it as an email template designer without knowing HTML?

Yes. You design visually: drag blocks onto the canvas, type your copy, and set colours and fonts in the theme panel. The builder writes the HTML for you. If you do know HTML, there is a custom HTML block for the bits the standard blocks do not cover.

Are the email templates responsive on mobile?

Yes. Every design is a responsive HTML email template: columns stack on narrow screens, images scale down, and buttons stay tappable. Switch the canvas to the mobile view to check it at phone width before you export, and use the dark mode preview to see how Gmail and Outlook invert your colours.

Will the exported HTML work in Gmail and Outlook?

The builder exports table-based HTML with inline styles, a bulletproof VML button for Outlook desktop, and a single mobile breakpoint. That is the same approach professional email developers hand-code, so it renders consistently in Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, Yahoo and the major mobile clients.

Can I use the template with my own email platform?

Yes. Copy or download the HTML and paste it into any tool that accepts custom HTML emails: Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, Amazon SES, or a self-hosted platform like Broadcast. Merge tags are written in the common {{ name }} format so you can map them to your platform.

Where are my designs saved?

In your browser. The builder autosaves to local storage on this device, so you can close the tab and come back later on the same browser. There is no account, so a design does not follow you to another computer; keep the exported HTML if you need a copy.

Can I add my own images?

Paste the URL of any image already hosted online, for example on your website, a CDN or your email platform. Email clients cannot display images that only exist on your computer, which is why the builder works with URLs rather than uploads.

Why should the email be 600 pixels wide?

600 pixels is the width that fits the preview pane of every major desktop client without horizontal scrolling and scales cleanly down to phones. You can change it in the theme settings, but 600 is the safe default.

How the drag-and-drop HTML email builder works

1. Drag

Add blocks

Headings, text, images, buttons, columns, social links and a compliant footer. Drag them in or click to append.

2. Style

Set the theme once

Colours, font, width, corner radius and spacing live in one theme panel, so every block stays consistent.

3. Export

Copy production HTML

What you see is what you export: the preview and the file come from the same renderer. Paste it into any email platform.
