Otherwise, you can download a template from many free email template providers. There are no specific width and height of an email template, but to make sure it is compatible and readable on any email without breaks, we  suggest you set the width size at not more than 650px. There are however no limitations on heights, so that parameter is up to you.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-size.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Template Size\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Email template<\/h2>\n<p>You can be as creative as you like with your email template, but bear in mind, with more creative elements included, there will be more work in slicing each element. The template that we will be using has only a few simple elements: a header, photo, lines and text, for the benefit of this guide.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-draft.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"498\" alt=\"Draft Template\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Fonts selection<\/h2>\n<p>You can definitely use any type of font available on your Photoshop. But if you are creating a newsletter, it is advisable to use web fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial and Georgia. Otherwise, use your special fonts, but save them as images, rather than as text.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-fonts.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Fonts\"><\/figure>\n<p>Try to limit having to save too many images in your template, as this will only make it larger and hence take longer to load.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Slice your email template<\/h2>\n<p>In this guide, we will be using an edited version of free email template by CampaignMonitor. Download it <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/item\/email-template.psd.zip\">here<\/a> to follow this tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you are ready with your email template, open it with Photoshop, select <strong>Slice Tool<\/strong> and start slicing every element of the template.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-slice-tool.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"419\" alt=\"Slice Tool\"><\/figure>\n<p>In this process, you have to slice every single space, text, line and image.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-sliced.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"Sliced\"><\/figure>\n<p>When you slice a text, make sure you select the exact size, do not leave any extra space in the text area. For empty spaces, slice them in one big slice, but separate them into squares.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-sliced-space.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"209\" alt=\"Sliced details\"><\/figure>\n<p>The next tool you need to use with Photoshop is the <strong>Slice Select Tool<\/strong>. Use this tool to fix every single sliced element in your template. Make sure every line is connected, don\u2019t leave any empty area without slicing them.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-slice-select.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"Slice Select Tool\"><\/figure>\n<p>With the Slice Select Tool, zoom your template and check every single slice you made.

Save as HTML template<\/h2>\n<p>When you are ready with your sliced template, go to File and select <strong>Save for Web & Devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-web.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" alt=\"Save for web\"><\/figure>\n<p>A window with saving options will pop up. Firstly, double-click on your image element and name it so you can easily recognize the image file when it is saved. Click <strong>OK<\/strong> after you have named them.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-header-image.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"351\" alt=\"Header Image\"><\/figure>\n<p>Next at the top right corner of the popup window, set the image type as <strong>JPEG<\/strong> from the dropdown menu. The quality can be set to <strong>60<\/strong> or <strong>80<\/strong>. If you set the quality to 100, the image quality will be maximum but it will make your template heavy.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-jpg.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"214\" alt=\"image quality\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now click on the <strong>Save<\/strong> button at the bottom of the window.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"179\" alt=\"Save\"><\/figure>\n<p>A new popup window will appear. Here, select the destination where you want the file to be saved at, then change the format to <strong>HTML and Images<\/strong> and set the <strong>Slices<\/strong> to <strong>All Slices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-options.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"403\" alt=\"Save options\"><\/figure>\n<p>Next, under the <strong>Settings<\/strong> dropdown menu, select <strong>Other<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-other.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"179\" alt=\"Other\"><\/figure>\n<p>Another popup window will appear, under the <strong>HTML<\/strong> section, make sure the choices under \u2018Formatting\u2019 are as below; do the same for the \u2018Coding\u2019 section.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-html.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"414\" alt=\"HTML\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now from the <strong>HTML<\/strong> dropdown menu, select <strong>Slices<\/strong>, and select <strong>Slice Output<\/strong> to <strong>Generate Table<\/strong> and set the columns as the following.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-slice.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"415\" alt=\"Slice\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now from <strong>Slices<\/strong>, go to <strong>Saving Files<\/strong> from the dropdown menu, go down to \u2018Optimized Files\u2019 section and check <strong>Put Images in Folder<\/strong> and set the image folder\u2019s name. The default image folder will be \u2018images\u2019. Then click <strong>\u2018OK\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-location.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"401\" alt=\"location\"><\/figure>\n<p>Clicking OK will bring you back to the previous popup window, now click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-save-2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"407\" alt=\"Save\"><\/figure>\n<p>After you press the save button, open up the location folder where you saved the file to, and you will see the html and images folder containing sliced images already saved for your email template.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-saved-folder.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"289\" alt=\"Saved folder\"><\/figure>\n<p>Open the \u2018.html\u2019 file in your browser, and you will see that your newsletter has now been converted into an HTML template.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-html.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"324\" alt=\"HTML newsletter template\"><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Fix HTML, change text image to web fonts<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of the following steps, you will get the finalized email template in HTML format.<\/p>\n<p>All elements in the HTML newsletter are saved in images, that include all text. Now you need to convert the text images to web fonts. To do that, open the \u2018.html\u2019 file with HTML editor. In this example, I am using Dreamweaver.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-open.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"286\" alt=\"Open with Dreamweaver\"><\/figure>\n<p>Click on the header and check on the highlighted HTML.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-highlight.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"93\" alt=\"Highlight\"><\/figure>\n<p>The HTML will be something like this;<\/p>\n<p><code>&lt;img src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/NewsLetter_Slice-12.jpg\" width=\"408\" height=\"47\" alt=\"\"&gt;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Now delete every line that\u2019s highlighted, alternatively, click on the header image and press delete. Once deleted, you will see the area filled with the default background color.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-delete-font.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"197\" alt=\"Delete font\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now go back to Photoshop, check the header\u2019s font details. You need to get the font type, color and size.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-font.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"268\" alt=\"Fonts\"><\/figure>\n<p>Once you get the details of the font, enter the header text in the header area of the template, and include the font details too. In my example, my header text HTML is as follow:<\/p>\n<p><code>&lt;td colspan=\"5\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff; font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size:41px; letter-spacing:8px;\"&gt;ABC Newsletter&lt;\/td&gt;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The HTML line above has \u2018style\u2019 included. That is where you define your background color, font family, font size as well as letter spacing. Try to fill the text space with suitable letter spacing and font size; make sure it does not break your template.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-font-html.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"201\" alt=\"HTML font\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now you need to repeat the same process for every text in your template. Make sure all text images are transformed into web fonts and avoid unnecessary images in HTML.<\/p>\n<p>Next one is optional, but you can set the newsletter to center, add the alignment in the <strong>&lt;table&gt;<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n<p><code>&lt;table id=\"Table_01\" align=\"center\"&gt;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>To review your final template, open the \u2018.html\u2019 file on your browser;<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/newsletter-dw-review.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"316\" alt=\"Review in Browser\"><\/figure>\n<p>You can also download the final template <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-send-email-newsletter\/item\/newsletter.zip\">here<\/a> for your reference.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Send HTML as newsletter via Gmail<\/h2>\n<p>Now here\u2019s a little trick to get you to send your HTML email directly from Gmail. To get this done, you actually need to upload the newsletter folder to your web server, but in case you don\u2019t have one, lets get it done with Dropbox instead.<\/p>\n<h2>Using Dropbox Public Folder<\/h2>\n<p>If you registered your Dropbox account before 1st August 2012, you may follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Register a free account with Dropbox, and then install the app to your PC or Mac so you can skip the uploading process over the Web.
