HTML Size

Best practice is to keep your HTML size below 102KB. If your email size goes above this, you may begin to see issues with the speed your email is loading, and this could cause Email on Acid to return no previews for your test. Visit our blog to learn more about the impact of file sizes on email.

Image Size

Best practice is to have images under 200 KB. A simple way to check for this is to run the email through Campaign Precheck. If any images are large enough to slow down your email loading speed, you will get a warning message and can optimize the image.

Pixel Height

Best practice is to limit pixel height of the entire email to no larger than 5000 to 7000 pixels. Most web clients have pixel height limit of 7000, and some desktop and mobile clients have a pixel height limit of 5000. If an email is longer than this, it may get cut off at the footer or disclaimer. It could also render fully, but take an extended time to load, hurting reader engagement.

Some great points to know about the Email Editor:

• Images are stored for 2 years after they are uploaded. After two years they will expire, and the URL will no longer be valid.
• Your email is saved every time you hit the “Save” button on the upper right side of the code pane. If no changes have been made, the button will be greyed out and show “Saved.” Your code will also be saved when you run an email test. We do not otherwise autosave your code. You can use these saves to restore a revision at any time.
• Editor projects are not able to be shared between users.

By adding your media to our service, you acknowledge that it will be publicly accessible. At this time, we do not offer private hosting.
This information can also be found in our privacy policy which can be found https://www.emailonacid.com/privacy/.

The image library can be found in the Email Editor tool. Once you have processed your HTML and are in the Editor tool the image library can be found in the second box.

If you select this it will bring up a window with the image library from here you can browse your computer to add images to your library so you can insert them into your code.

If your existing campaigns were sent with images hosted in this library, be cautious to delete as this will “break” those emails; the images will no longer be available.
