I have a MailChimp template I am working on for a client. In Gmail only, I get some images that are much larger than the stated dimensions in the template. In this example, the image is shown in Gmail at 600px x 120px but the <td> is:
<td cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;vertical-align:top" height="4px" width="600px">
<img src="http://www.marketingscience.co/boa/hero-header.png" style="display:block;border:0;min-height:4px;width:600px;background-color:#696969;color:white;font-size:18px;line-height:100%;outline:none;text-decoration:none">
</td>
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Try setting image dimesions in plain html, like this:
<img src="image.png" width="100px" height="300px" />
Also, you have no height set in 'style' attribute, so adding it may solve the issue
Add a style element in your email template and set some default styles for all images in your email, like this:
<style>
img {
display:block;
height:auto;
line-height:100%;
}
</style>
MailChimp will add these styles inline to every <img> element before it sends the email.
Then, when possible, add the height and width attributes to each image as Alex Ponomarev suggested.

Im having some difficulty. Im trying to have my email be responsive in outlook clients but its just not having it - It wants a set width in pixels but when I do this it looks rubbish in outlook mobile but most frustratingly it looks rubbish in GMAIL because the percentages have been removed.
Is there anyway to get around this? Specifically I want my image to be 100% width with a max width of 600px.
<tr container">
<td class="content">
<img width="100%"
src="imagelink" />
Generally what you want is the width attribute for Outlook, e.g. width="600", and the style attribute, which Outlook ignores, set to width:100%.
i.e. <img width="600" style="width:100%;max-width:600px" src="..." />
Not sure why your percentage is removed in Gmail - but perhaps because your stray quote mark here <tr container">. The other possibility (only guessing because you've only posted part of your code) is that you have not inlined the code. Some email clients do not respect embedded CSS, so you can't rely on it.

I have a new challenge, which I haven't seen posted or answered here....
I have an image that needs to appear in the top-right corner of an email in Outlook, but that image is treated like a background image - the main content of the email is floated over it. The image file is NOT the width of the email. It's about 15% of the width of the email and perhaps 20% the height.
The email body must be 640px wide, height is variable. The image is 203px wide and 432px tall.
I'm using VML to display the background image in Outlook. The image is set to be the background image of a <td> tag, and that tag contains a number of additional tables that provide the email body (hence the variable height). The image should appear only once at the top right of the td.
Would coordorigin and coordposition be a valid approach to keep the image to a single location, or would it negatively impact the td containing the rest of the email body?
Any help would be appreciated.
Below is the bare minimum you need to achieve what you are asking for:
<!-- main containing table -->
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<!-- main body table -->
<table class="w320" width="640" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="position:relative;">
<tr>
<td style="position:relative;>
<!--[if gte mso 9]-->
<v:image src="...yourimagehere.jpg" style="width:203px;height:432px;position:absolute;top:0;right:0;z-index:-1;" />
<![endif]-->
Your email here
Bear in mind that using a negative z-index on VML objects when using a background colour on the body of your email will result in the VML object displaying behind the bgcolor
VML allows a lot more styles than your typical HMTL rendered in the word processor, take full advantage where you can.
I can't actually remember if "right" works for position in Outlook. if not just use left:397px; instead.
Hope this helps
I have a narrow long image that I want to display at the top right of a README.md file on GitHub. I have been trying several things to get it aligned right and currently have
<p align="right">
<img src="doc/subpagelist.png" />
</p>
This works in that the image is aligned on the right side, though is rather useless as all content that is below in image in the Markdown file gets displayed under the bottom of the image, rather then to the left of it.
Is there a way to have the text flow around the image (without getting rid of headers and paragraphs)?
The align="right" (or left) attribute works in GitHub Markdown:
<img align="right" src="doc/subpagelist.png">
align="left" works fine. To break the alignment again, use a <br clear="left"/> (or <br clear="right"/>) tag:
<img src="/path/to/image.png" align="left" width="200px"/>
some text floating around the image
<br clear="left"/>
A "newline". This text doesn't float anymore, is left-aligned.
It works for me (only for jekyll, it does not work for Github markdown):
Put the code below in your content markdown (I have put it on the first line for better organization)
<style type="text/css">
.image-left {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
float: right;
}
</style>
And refers to your image as follows:
[](http://www.thiengo.com.br/proguard-android){: .image-left } Your Text comes here...
Note the .image-left class besides the image url.
The final results are here: Movies of the Year jekyll github page
In markdown you can add extra attributes to tags. For instance I use this for what you intend to do:
{:style="float: right;margin-right: 7px;margin-top: 7px;"}
What you are describing is "floating" of an image, which allows text to flow around it. There are a number of good turtorials about floating in CSS if you want to learn more about this topic. In the mean time, to get an image to float in Markdown you can wrap the image in a div and float that div using:
<div style="float: right">
</div>
I'm creating a newsletter and I observed that in Yahoo mail a blue border is added to the images inside a link. I already checked other forums and you can solve this by applying any of these two options in the CSS inline:
border:none;
border:0;
This does work and you wont see the blue border on yahoo mail. The problem is that for my design I want to add a border-color to the image as link. So if I apply this solution for Yahoo mail I will have no border on the images.
Is there any way which I can solve this issue?
Here you have my code:
<tr>
<td width="260px">
<a href="#">
<img alt="" src="link-to-image/pic1.jpg" style="width:258px;border: rgba(235, 173, 21, 0.5) 1px solid;display:block;" />
</a>
</td>
</tr>
try border="1" border-color="#005288" in your image tag. Always use the 6-digit hex code also.
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="auto-style1" style="width: 100%; height: 100%">
<tr>
<td>edtretrt</td>
</tr>
</table>
Despite the fact that I specified that the height is 100% it doesn't fill the whole screen.
I want to use that table to set the background and because I want to send html email, I can't just change the background of the <body>
When you view that as a html file in your browser, your browser assumes it has a body and the body by default has some amount of margin. I can get rid of the border by specifying the body and removing the margin from the body. I also switched to a div instead of a table, to make the code simpler and removed margin from the div as well.
<body style="margin:0;">
<div style="width:100%;height:100%;background-color:orange;margin:0;">
edtretrt
</div>
</body>
I searched for changing background color of an email. It appears that most mail clients ignore or strip any body tags. It also appears that changing background colors in emails is not totally reliable. This site seems to indicate that you should use a table and you should use the bgcolor attribute with a six character color code to be supported by the largest number of mail clients: http://litmus.com/blog/background-colors-html-email
