Mobile email preview

See your email on iPhone and Android before you send

For many lists, most emails are read on a phone. Looksend shows your email at the real width of an iPhone, an Android phone and an iPad, right next to Gmail and Outlook on desktop.

Why a desktop check isn’t enough

Most email builders show a desktop view by default. On a phone the same email is squeezed into a screen around 400 pixels wide, and that’s where most problems show up.

What to look for on mobile

  • Text that’s too small to read without zooming.
  • Columns that don’t stack, so products or images end up squashed side by side.
  • Buttons that are too small or too close together to tap.
  • Images that are too wide and make the email scroll sideways.
  • Long headlines that wrap onto four lines and push your offer below the fold.

How Looksend shows it

Each preview is drawn at the real screen width of the device, inside a realistic mail app, so the mobile parts of your email’s code kick in just as they would on the phone. Switch on dark mode, turn images off, or open any device full-size to look closer.

Looksend previews your email in a browser at each device’s real size. It doesn’t run the actual Mail or Gmail apps, so for very complex code, a final test send to your own phone is still a good habit.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my email look broken on a phone?

Usually because it was built for a desktop width of around 600 pixels and doesn’t adapt to a phone screen of around 400. Common signs are columns that don’t stack, text too small to read, buttons too small to tap and images that make the email scroll sideways.

What screen width should I check an email at?

At least two: a phone width and a desktop width. Looksend uses real device widths, 393 pixels for iPhone 15 and 412 for Pixel 8, alongside Gmail and Outlook at desktop size, so the mobile parts of your email’s code apply just as they would on the device.

Is a mobile preview as good as a test send to my phone?

It covers more ground: a test send shows one phone in one app, while Looksend shows iPhone, Android, iPad and desktop side by side in light and dark mode without sending anything. A preview runs in a browser rather than the real Mail or Gmail app, so for complex code a final test send is still worthwhile.
