I'm having trouble with an HTML email I created. It displays correctly in most clients, but Gmail shows unexpected gaps between the images. I don't know if it's due to my coding or if Gmail handles images differently.
Here's a simple representation of the issue:
[Image of email with unexpected spacing]
Has anyone encountered this before? Any suggestions for a fix would be much appreciated, as I want the images to appear seamlessly adjacent to one another.
Thanks so much for your help!
I’ve dealt with this frustrating Gmail quirk many times. One trick that’s worked well for me is setting font-size:0 on the parent container of your images. This eliminates any residual space from line breaks or whitespace in your HTML.
Also, make sure you’re using align=‘left’ on your images. Sometimes Gmail interprets center-aligned images differently and adds gaps.
If those don’t work, you might need to slice your images differently. Instead of separate images side-by-side, consider creating a single image with all elements combined. This bypasses Gmail’s spacing issues entirely.
Remember to test thoroughly across devices and email clients. What works in Gmail might cause issues elsewhere, so always have a fallback plan.
I’ve encountered this issue before with Gmail. It’s a common problem related to how Gmail handles inline images. One solution that worked for me was wrapping each image in a table cell. This prevents Gmail from adding extra space. Here’s a basic structure:
Also, ensure your images don’t have any inherent spacing in their file properties. Sometimes image editors add invisible borders. If the problem persists, you might need to experiment with different table layouts or consider using a responsive email template specifically designed for Gmail compatibility.
yeah, gmail messes with image spacing sometimes. try addin display:block to your imgs and remove whitespace betwee tags. check if theres hidden margins too. might be a table fix if nothin works. hope it helps!
