Text over image

Hi there,

I am trying to create an email template that has a Rich Text module with an image background and white text over the image. However I'm somehow unable to do it? Would anyone be able to help with this?

Hi @MSapinho

I think it is not possible to do this in Rich Text Module, but I recommend you use Canva (or a similar design solution). There you can easily add an image and text over the image.

After doing this you can go to HubSpot Email Editor, upload, and insert this Image there directly. I have been doing this many times and it works well. Just let me know if it helps.

Regards

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your input and help on this. Unfortunately I want it to do it through actual code as otherwise the image won't collapse properly for mobile for example (it'd be way too small) and it might not render the same in different email providers. I believe it's also better pratice to add actual text than text on image (I have done this for another section of my email as it was less important than the main banner for example).

Not ideal that as it gives a very unprofessional cheap look.

If you do it this way the text then becomes part of the image and you are unable to add hyperlinks to different texts
