5 Things You Didn’t Know About Email Love

If you’re here, you’re probably familiar with Email Love—a curated hub of email inspiration designed to help marketers, designers, and creatives stay in touch with the latest design and content trends in email. But while you may already use Email Love to browse beautiful designs and find inspiration, there’s so much more to the platform than meets the eye.

In this post, we’ll uncover five features of Email Love that you might not know about. From viewing live versions of emails to advanced tools for analyzing how your designs perform in different settings, these features can make a big difference in how you approach your next campaign.

1. Each Email Is the Live Version

One of the coolest features of Email Love is that every email showcased on the platform is the real, live version of the original. Unlike static screenshots, which can miss the nuances of an email’s functionality, Email Love allows you to experience each email exactly as the recipient would—fully interactive and dynamic.

This means you can scroll through the content, select text, click buttons, and see every detail come to life, just as it was intended. Whether it’s checking how a CTA button behaves or how images load, the live version gives you a complete view of the design in action.

For email marketers and designers, this level of interaction is invaluable. It’s not just about seeing how an email looks—it’s about understanding how it works. You get a full sense of the user experience, allowing you to draw inspiration and make informed decisions when designing your own campaigns.

2. You Can View Emails with Images Off, in Dark Mode, and on Mobile

One of the most useful (and perhaps too hidden) features of Email Love is the ability to see how emails perform in different settings. Not only can you toggle between seeing an email with images on or off, but you can also view how it looks in dark mode and on mobile devices.

Why is this important? Because real-world email performance isn’t limited to perfect conditions. Some subscribers may have images blocked by their email client, others may have dark mode enabled, and many will open emails on their phones. Email Love allows you to see how your favorite designs hold up in all these scenarios, so you can learn from brands that nail the email experience regardless of the viewing environment.

 

3. Some Emails Have Been Recreated in Stripo or with the Email Love Figma Plugin

At Email Love, we don’t just showcase emails—we take it a step further by recreating some of them using tools like Stripo and the Email Love Figma Plugin.

Why is this so valuable? These recreations serve as blueprints for email marketers and designers who want to replicate or adapt similar designs in their own campaigns. Whether you’re working with Stripo to develop dynamic email templates or using the Email Love Figma Plugin to design with precision, these resources give you a hands-on opportunity to reverse-engineer stunning emails and apply those techniques to your own projects.

For anyone who’s ever looked at a well-crafted email and thought, “How did they do that?”, these recreations offer the perfect answer—turning inspiration into actionable insights.

4. Clicking on Tags Shows Related Emails

Email Love is more than just a collection of beautiful designs—it’s a curated experience that helps you find exactly what you’re looking for. One of the most helpful features is the tagging system. Every email on Email Love is categorized with tags, and by clicking on a tag, you can instantly discover other emails with similar themes, layouts, or industries.

For example, if you’re browsing a minimalist email design and click on the “Minimalist” tag, you’ll be taken to a page full of other minimalist-inspired emails from a range of brands. It’s a quick way to dive deeper into specific design styles or marketing strategies, giving you a wealth of examples from which to draw.

Whether you’re searching for inspiration for an upcoming campaign or trying to see how different brands approach the same theme, the tagging system makes it easier to explore and gather relevant ideas.

5. You Can Save Emails to Collections and Share Them

One of the most powerful features of Email Love is the ability to save your favorite emails to custom collections. Whether you’re gathering inspiration for a future campaign or just want to organize your top picks by theme, style, or industry, this feature makes it easy to keep everything in one place.

But it doesn’t stop there—you can also share your collections with colleagues, clients, or collaborators. This makes it a perfect tool for team projects, client presentations, or simply sharing design inspiration with others. Instead of sending individual links, you can curate an entire collection of emails that best showcase the style or approach you’re aiming for.

This feature is a great way to streamline collaboration, keep inspiration organized, and make sure your entire team is on the same page.

Conclusion: Discover More with Email Love

Email Love is more than just a source of inspiration—it’s a powerful tool that offers unique features to help you level up your email marketing game. Whether you’re exploring live versions of top-notch emails, toggling between different views, diving into recreated designs, or organizing your own curated collections, Email Love gives you everything you need to create stunning, high-performing email campaigns.

These five lesser-known features can save you time, provide deeper insights, and make it easier to collaborate with your team. So, if you haven’t explored these features yet, now is the time to take advantage of them.

Much love,
