Preserve styles and layout
If you need pixel-perfect email formatting across all email clients, enable Preserve styles and layout to send an image version of your email.
What is the Preserve styles and layout option?
By default, Mailmeteor converts your Google Docs file into HTML format before sending. However, the way styles (fonts, colors, images, and formatting) are displayed may vary across different email providers.
If you want your email to look exactly like your Google Docs file, you can enable the Preserve styles and layout option. This feature converts your document into an image snapshot, ensuring that every detail remains intact.
How does Preserve styles and layout work?
When this option is enabled, Mailmeteor:
- Captures a screenshot of your document.
- Send the image version of your email to maintain its exact layout and styling.
- Ensures perfect compatibility across different email clients.
When this option is disabled, Mailmeteor:
- Converts your Google Docs into HTML format.
- Send your email as formatted text, but some styles may differ depending on the recipient’s email provider
How to enable Preserve styles and layout
Open Google Docs. Then navigate to Extensions > Mailmeteor > New campaign.
In the sidebar, under Options, select Preserve styles and layout.
