Free Email Template Builder: Design Visually, Export Clean Code

Hand-coding HTML emails is brutal. Nested tables, inline styles, Outlook quirks, Gmail stripping your <style> tags. You spend more time debugging rendering issues than actually designing.

We built a free email template builder that solves this. Design visually, export production-ready code.

Why Another Email Builder?

Most email builders fall into two camps:

Marketing tools - Drag-and-drop interfaces designed for newsletters. They export bloated HTML, lock you into their platform, and don't support template variables.

Code-first tools - Write JSX with React Email or MJML. Great output, but no visual preview without running a dev server. Design iteration is slow.

Our builder sits in the middle. Visual editing with developer-friendly exports. Design your template, grab the code, use it anywhere.

How It Works

1. Start from a Template (or Scratch)

Choose from starter templates—welcome emails, password resets, receipts—or begin with a blank canvas.

2. Edit Visually

Type directly in the canvas. Use slash commands to insert elements:

/heading - Add a heading
/button - Insert a CTA button
/divider - Add a horizontal rule
/spacer - Add vertical spacing
/image - Insert an image

Select text for formatting options: bold, italic, links, colors.

3. Add Template Variables

Use double curly braces for dynamic content:

Welcome, {{name}}!

Your order #{{order_id}} has shipped.

Variables are highlighted in the editor and preserved in exports.

4. Style Globally

Set email-wide styles in the right panel:

Background color
Content width
Font family
Base text color

Changes apply to the entire email instantly.

5. Export Your Code

Click Export and choose your format:

HTML - Clean, production-ready HTML with inline styles. Works with any email provider.

React Email - Copy-paste into your React Email project. Proper component structure with all the right imports.

No Signup Required

The editor runs entirely in your browser. No account needed. Your work saves to local storage automatically—come back later and pick up where you left off.
