Render the design and switch between desktop and mobile preview sizes.
Download
Export the email screenshot as PNG or PDF with the full email captured from top to bottom.
What you need before taking the screenshot
To screenshot an HTML email, start with the email code. That might be an HTML file from your code editor, exported HTML from an email platform, or pasted email code from a builder. If you do not have the HTML because the email was received in your inbox, save the message as an EML file instead.
Step-by-step: screenshot an HTML email
- Open ScreenshotEmails. Open the email screenshot generator in your browser.
- Upload or paste the HTML. Drop in an HTML file or paste the full email code.
- Render the preview. Let the tool display the email as a browser-based preview.
- Check desktop and mobile. Switch views depending on the screenshot you need.
- Download the screenshot. Export as PNG or PDF for sharing, saving, or reviewing.
Tips for better email screenshots
- Make sure hosted images load before downloading the screenshot.
- Capture both desktop and mobile if the email is responsive.
- Use descriptive file names like spring-sale-email-mobile.png.
- Keep the tool tab active while the screenshot is being generated for the most reliable browser-based capture.
Troubleshoot the HTML before exporting
Images are missing
Use complete HTTPS image URLs. A path such as /images/banner.jpg refers to a location that may not exist in the preview. Check that the original image can load without signing in.
The mobile layout does not change
Include the complete document, its media queries, and any inline styles produced by your email build process. Correct the source, then paste the updated HTML and preview it again.
The result differs from an inbox
This preview uses browser rendering. Client-specific Outlook markup and CSS support may differ. Use actual email-client testing for final campaign QA; use the exported image for review and documentation.
