The quick method

The fastest way to screenshot an HTML email is to render it in ScreenshotEmails and download the full-length preview.

Get your HTML

Export email HTML from your email platform, open your HTML file, or copy the code from your editor.

Upload or paste

Drop the HTML file into ScreenshotEmails or paste the code directly into the tool.

Preview the email

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.

Why HTML email screenshots are hard manually

HTML emails are often longer than the visible screen and built with fixed-width tables, responsive sections, images, buttons, footer content, and legal text. A normal browser screenshot usually captures only what is visible, while a full-page browser capture may include unwanted browser UI, extra whitespace, or the wrong width.

ScreenshotEmails solves this by rendering the email itself and capturing the full message as a clean export. That makes it easier to share email creative with a team, save campaign examples, document QA issues, or build a portfolio without stitching multiple screenshots together.

Choose the right screenshot workflow

Use HTML when you have the email code. Use EML when you are trying to capture an email you received in your inbox.

Screenshot email HTML

Best for marketers, designers, and developers working from email builders or code editors.

  • Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Customer.io, Braze, and custom HTML
  • Desktop and mobile previews
  • PNG or PDF exports for review and sharing

Screenshot an email you received

Best when you want to save a newsletter, receipt, confirmation, or competitor email from your inbox.

  • Export the message as EML from Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or Yahoo Mail
  • Upload the EML file to ScreenshotEmails
  • Export the rendered email as a clean screenshot

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

  1. Open ScreenshotEmails. Go to the tool in your browser.
  2. Upload or paste the HTML. Drop in an HTML file or paste the full email code.
  3. Render the preview. Let the tool display the email as a browser-based preview.
  4. Check desktop and mobile. Switch views depending on the screenshot you need.
  5. Download the screenshot. Export as PNG or PDF for sharing, saving, or reviewing.

Why use a dedicated email screenshot tool?

  • Full-length capture: Capture the complete email instead of only what appears on screen.
  • Cleaner output: Avoid browser chrome, scrollbars, awkward whitespace, and stitched screenshots.
  • Mobile previews: Capture how the email looks at a mobile width without using a phone.
  • Fast sharing: Convert HTML to PNG for Slack, Notion, Asana, client approvals, or QA notes.
  • Private workflow: Keep email code inside your browser session instead of sending it through a complicated workflow.

Common use cases

  • Email marketers: Share campaign previews with teammates or clients.
  • Designers: Save polished examples of email layouts for portfolios.
  • Developers: Document rendering bugs, layout issues, and QA feedback.
  • Agencies: Package email deliverables in client-friendly review threads.
  • Everyday users: Save long newsletters, receipts, and confirmations as clean images.

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.
