You can use a preview mode to make sure that your email template looks the way you intended both on desktop and mobile devices.

There are three ways to preview an email template with Stripo.

How to access Preview Mode in Stripo?

Stripo offers three simple ways to enter Preview mode and ensure your email template is ready for any device:

  1. Via the Three Dots Menu:

    • In your account dashboard, click the three dots (ellipsis) next to your email template and select Preview. A new window will open showing both desktop and mobile versions of your email:

  2. Via the Editor:

    • While editing your email template, click the Preview button at the top of the editor to view the desktop and mobile versions.


  3. Using the “Share” Button:

    • Click the Share button in the editor toolbar to generate a preview link. This link will open the template in a browser, showing both versions.

What You Can Do in Preview Mode?

In Preview mode, in addition to allowing you to easily switch between how your email will look on desktop and mobile devices, there are also additional options such as:

  1. Switch between languages. Ensure that the translated versions of your email look correct:

  2. Export Your Template. Once your email is ready, export it to any supported platform for mailing with your ESP:

  3. Test Emails on Mobile Devices. Scan a QR code to preview your email on your mobile device:

  4. Check the Subject Line and Preheader. Use the Inbox option to see how the subject and hidden preheader will appear in recipients' inboxes across various email clients:

  5. Disable Images. Test how your email looks without images to ensure it’s still readable when images are blocked:

  6. Send a Test Email. Verify your email’s appearance and functionality by sending a test email from Preview mode.


  7. Generate a Shareable Link. Create a “View in Browser” link to share your email preview with others. Any changes made in Stripo will automatically update the shared link:

Please be advised that the "Share" functionality is available only for paid plans.

8. View email size: See the total size of your email template to ensure it complies with size restrictions
