The AcelleMail email builder is a no-code, drag-and-drop editor for designing marketing emails, landing pages and signup forms. Instead of fighting HTML tables, you drag blocks — text, images, buttons, QR codes, charts, RSS feeds, social icons and more — onto the canvas and fine-tune them with visual controls. Everything previews on mobile and exports as clean, portable HTML that renders across every major email client.

Build in minutes

Drag a block. Drop it in. The email takes shape.

Pick any block from the sidebar and drop it onto the canvas. Honest drop zones highlight exactly where it will land, and everything snaps into a responsive layout — no HTML, no fiddly tables, no waiting on a designer.

  • Drag from a palette of two dozen ready blocks
  • Drop zones light up only where a block belongs
  • Undo any step — every change is reversible

Dragging a block onto the AcelleMail email canvas — the drop zone highlights where it will land, with the block palette open on the right

Everything the drag-and-drop email builder does

One editor, the full toolkit — the controls a designer expects, in reach of anyone.

In-canvas editing

Click any line and edit it in place. A floating toolbar follows your selection — no hunting through sidebars.

Honest drag-and-drop

Drop zones highlight only where a block belongs; a misplaced block snaps back instead of breaking the layout.

Real control panels

Every block opens its own panel — presets, colors, spacing — so a non-designer ships an art-directed result.

Swatch color picker

A full swatch palette with recents and an eyedropper — pick brand colors without leaving the canvas.

Per-side borders

Set width, style, color and corner radius on each edge independently — no CSS shorthand to wrestle.

Padding & margin

Pin all four sides or break the pin. A live box shows exactly what you are spacing.

Inline image crop

Crop and set a focal point right on the canvas; the framing holds across desktop and mobile.

Image effects

Grayscale, sepia, blur, brightness and contrast — tuned with live sliders, no external editor.

Themes & brand tokens

Match your brand once and every block inherits the color, type and spacing automatically.

Duplicate & reorder

Copy, move or delete any block from a toolbar that follows your selection — restructure an email in seconds.

Mobile responsive

Every block is responsive by default; preview desktop, tablet and phone right in the editor.

Clean HTML export

One click exports inlined, Outlook-safe HTML — the most portable output for email.

Import your HTML

Bring an existing HTML template in — assets are re-hosted automatically and it is ready to send.

AI design assist

Draft copy or a whole layout with AI, then refine it by hand — bring your own engine.

RSS & dynamic blocks

Pull your latest posts into a digest automatically with a drop-in RSS block.

Charts, KPIs & tables

Drop a chart, a stat callout or a data table straight into the email — no screenshots.

Media library

A built-in asset manager keeps every image reusable across campaigns, pages and forms.

Version-safe undo

Every action is undoable; a keystroke brings back a block you deleted by mistake.

See it in action

Every block opens a real control panel

These aren't stock widgets. Each one opens a real control panel — presets, colors, layouts — so a non-designer ships something that looks art-directed.

Email builder FAQ

Do I need to know how to code to use the builder?

No. The builder is fully drag-and-drop — you compose emails, pages and forms from blocks and style them with visual controls. On export it produces clean, standards-compliant HTML you never have to touch.

Can I export the HTML from the email builder?

Yes. One click exports a standalone HTML file with every style inlined — the most portable output for email — plus an HTML-with-assets version and a ZIP package for self-hosting.

Are the emails mobile responsive?

Yes. Every block is responsive by default, and you can preview desktop, tablet and phone right in the editor before you send.

Is the drag-and-drop builder included, or a paid add-on?

It is built into AcelleMail at no extra cost. The same editor powers email campaigns, landing pages and signup forms — there is nothing else to buy.

Can I build landing pages and signup forms with it too?

Yes. The same canvas builds standalone hosted landing pages and embeddable signup forms with double opt-in, wired straight to your lists.

Is there a free way to try the email builder?

Yes — the live demo runs on a real account with no signup and no credit card. Open it, drag a few blocks onto the canvas, and export the result.

Can I edit images without leaving the builder?

Yes. Select any image to crop it, set a focal point, resize it and apply effects like grayscale, blur, brightness or contrast — all on the canvas, with live preview and no external editor.

Can I build popups as well as inline signup forms?

Yes. The same builder makes both — design a popup or an embedded form, style it to match your site, then publish it as a popup or a page snippet. Every submission flows into your list with double opt-in.

Open the builder and drag something in.

The live demo runs on a real account — no signup, no card. Build a campaign, drop in an image or a button, watch it come together.
