View marketing email size in editor

Currently, there is no way to see the marketing email size while composing an email. We are only notified once the email exceeds 102kb. That being said, it would be great if we could see the email size while actively editing an email so we're aware of how close we are to the limit prior to exceeding it.

Wondering about this feature too. 

Need the size of our average NL sizes for a report to show what we need to change in e-mail sizes. 


Had to send the preview to myself, download and see the size in my download folder.

I would also love if we could get a breakdown of size per module. This will make it easier to prioritize what content to cut.

Definitely behind this idea. Being able to monitor email size in real-time while editing would be a great feature to have.

Yes, I also want to know the email size.

Good idea! Also it seems that we can reach that 102kb limit quite quickly, maybe the standard email template from Hubspot could be optimized.

This would be really valuable. HubSpot already uses Litmus for testing/previewing emails in different email clients. When reading on their web it seems like they have this function  - but it's not integrated into HubSpot....(yet).

Estimated Email Size in Marketing Email Editor

September 10, 2024

What is it?

Size optimisation in Marketing Email improves engagement and conversion rates, as well as helps ensure that your email gets delivered.

 

With this rollout, the Estimated Size of your Marketing Email will now be surfaced in the top right of the Email Editor, providing users with visibility into their total email size to help reduce the impact of client clipping.

Why does it matter?

Every Marketing Email has its size, which affects the way servers and inbox providers will handle its content. The size depends both on the HTML code (tables, text, links) and graphics embedded in the email.

 

Large emails are more likely to encounter problems during its delivery, and HTML emails that exceed 102 KB are at risk of email providers like Gmail “clipping” your email.

 

With this rollout, the Estimated Size of your Marketing Email will now be surfaced in the top right of the Email Editor, providing users with more visibility into their total email size and help reduce the impact of client clipping.

How does it work?

To view the Estimated Size of your Marketing Email:

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Marketing Email.
  • Click the name of an existing drafted email.
  • You will now see the Estimated size in the top right of the email editor,
  • The Estimated size will also be available in the Preview as a contact & Inbox preview pages.
 

 

 

  • Clicking Estimated size will open a table showing whether your Marketing Email might be at risk of being clipped in providers like Gmail, alongside recommended actions to take.
 

 

 

If your email contains any personalisation, it is recommended to preview as a contact for the most accurate estimate as personalisation will change the content of the Email, and therefore the size of the Email for each recipient.

  • In the top right of the email editor, click the Preview dropdown menu, then click Preview as a contact.
  • Choose a contact you would like to preview your email as.
  • The Estimated size will be updated to reflect the estimated size of the send for that particular contact.
