How to Use the HTML Email Template Generator
Creating HTML email templates that render correctly across all email clients requires a specific approach — table-based layouts with fully inline CSS, since email clients like Outlook strip external stylesheets. This tool handles all the technical complexity and generates standards-compliant HTML you can paste directly into any ESP (Email Service Provider).
Step 1: Choose a Template
Start with one of five pre-built templates: Welcome Email (onboarding new subscribers), Newsletter (regular digest with multiple sections), Promotional (product offer with urgency CTA), Transactional (order confirmation or notification), or Event Invitation. Each loads a complete block sequence you can customize.
Step 2: Set Email Settings
Enter your company name (appears in the header and footer), a preheader text (the preview line shown in inbox next to the subject), and your brand color. The preheader is hidden from the rendered email but visible in Gmail and Apple Mail inbox previews — it significantly impacts open rates.
Step 3: Add and Edit Blocks
Click any block type in the Add Block section: Header (logo area + company name), Text Block (paragraph content), Button (CTA with link and background color), Image (URL + alt text), Divider (separator line), Social Links (icon row), or Footer (unsubscribe link + address). Click the arrow buttons to reorder blocks or the ✕ button to remove them. Click a block to expand its editing options.
Step 4: Preview and Export
The live preview shows exactly how your email will look at 600px width — the standard maximum width for email. Click Download HTML to save the file or Copy HTML to copy it to your clipboard. Use Send Test to open your system email client with the HTML source in the body for quick testing. Then import the HTML into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Campaign Monitor, or any other ESP's custom HTML editor.
FAQ
Is the email template generator free?
Yes, the HTML Email Template Generator is 100% free. You can create unlimited email templates, use all built-in templates, and download the HTML without creating an account.
Will the generated emails render correctly in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail?
Yes. The generated HTML uses table-based layout with all CSS inlined — the industry standard for cross-client compatibility. It renders correctly in Gmail, Outlook (2016–2024), Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and mobile email apps.
Why does email HTML use tables instead of divs?
Email clients have severely limited CSS support compared to web browsers. Outlook in particular strips <style> blocks and ignores flex/grid. Table-based layouts with inline styles are the only reliable way to achieve consistent rendering across all major clients.
Is my email data private?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No email content, images, or configuration is sent to any server. Everything stays on your device.
Can I use external images in the generated emails?
Yes. The Image block accepts any public image URL. The image will display in the email client if the recipient's client loads remote images (most do by default unless the user has disabled them).
How do I add the email to my ESP (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc.)?
Download the HTML file or copy the code, then paste it into your ESP's custom HTML editor. Most platforms (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Campaign Monitor, Brevo) have an 'Import HTML' or 'Code editor' option where you paste the template.
What are the available content blocks?
The builder supports 7 blocks: Header (logo + company name), Text Block (paragraph content), Button (CTA with custom URL), Image (with alt text), Divider (horizontal rule), Social Links (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), and Footer (unsubscribe + address).
