Email Editor is now LIVE inside Pencil

In today’s inbox‑crowded world, every pixel counts. Marketers and creative teams need tools that let them prototype, iterate, and deliver beautiful, responsive emails faster—without getting bogged down in code. That’s why we built our Email Editor: a no‑code, drag‑and‑drop canvas that bridges the gap between creative vision and developer hand‑off.

🚀 Key Features of the Email Editor

1. Drag‑and‑Drop Section‑Based Canvas

• Speed & Flexibility: Arrange text, assets, and buttons in seconds.
• Visual Clarity: See your layout come together in real time—no HTML debugging required.

2. 12‑Point Column Grid System

• Precision Layouts: Divide your template into up to 12 columns for perfect alignment.
• Flexible Structures: Mix and match columns (e.g., two 6‑point columns) to create side‑by‑side content blocks.

3. Mobile/Desktop Toggle Views

• Responsive Previews: Switch between device modes to ensure your email looks flawless on every screen.
• Design Confidence: Catch layout issues early—before you export or send.

4. One‑Click HTML Export

• Developer‑Friendly: Export a clean HTML file that your frontend team can immediately implement.
• Seamless Handoff: Eliminate version mismatches by sharing the exact code generated by the editor.

🎯 Benefits for Creative Teams and Marketers

1. No-Code Email Design
   Designers can focus on creativity, not syntax. Build complex layouts without writing a single line of HTML.
2. Improved Collaboration
   Creative and development teams speak the same language—your exported HTML matches the visual mockup exactly.
3. Error Reduction
   Minimize hand‑off mistakes and reduce QA cycles by delivering pixel‑perfect code every time.

🛠 How the Email Editor Works

1. Start with a Template or Blank Canvas
   Choose from pre‑built designs or begin from scratch.
2. Add & Arrange Sections
   Drag section blocks (headers, images, text, CTAs) onto the vertical canvas.
3. Structure with Columns
   Click to split a section into up to 12 columns, then drag content into each column.
4. Optimize Responsiveness
   Use the Mobile/Desktop toggle to fine‑tune layouts for different devices.
5. Export as HTML
   Hit “Export” to download a ready‑to‑hand‑off HTML file for your development team.
