About Email Designer

A genuine on-canvas email builder on the same editor engine as Design Studio and Presentation Maker: pick a starting layout from a template gallery across 6 curated color palettes, then edit text, images, shapes, and colors directly on the visual preview — no separate iframe preview that's out of sync with what you're editing. Insert {{variable}} placeholders for personalization, then upload a spreadsheet to generate one personalized, table-based, Outlook/Gmail-safe HTML file per row as a zip. Export the finished design as inline-styled email HTML (copy or download) or a PNG preview. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How is the email designer different from the template tool?

The email designer is a full visual canvas editor — you drag, resize, and style elements directly on the preview. The template tool uses a form-based approach with predefined layouts. The designer gives you complete creative control.

Can I import my own HTML into the designer?

Yes. The advanced HTML panel lets you paste or write raw HTML and see it rendered live. You can switch between the visual editor and code view at any time.

Does the exported HTML work in all email clients?

The export generates table-based HTML with inline CSS for maximum email client compatibility. Complex canvas effects (gradients, shadows) are simplified to their closest email-safe equivalents.

Can I send test emails from the designer?

The designer focuses on design and export. To send emails, export the HTML and use it with the Mail Merge tool, your email platform, or send it directly through a connected Gmail/Outlook account.
