I have an HTML e-mail that is breaking on Outlook 2013. Between every row, there is a white space: Photo
Every image is set to display: block, I have added border-collapse: collapse to the table and page-break-before: always to table rows but nothing had effect...
set the cellpadding, spacing and border to 0
without seeing your code and knowing exactly what you have, below is sample of what I use and usually works in Outlook:
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td style="display:block; border-collapse:collapse;">
<img alt="Sample Image" src="http://placehold.it/230x150.png" width="230" style="display:block;" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Outlook ads a default font size of 13px. If you add a style of font-size: 1px and line height of 1px on the and the this might fix it.
This fixed it for me when I ran into this issue.
A pretty hacky way of fixing that is using margin-bottom: -10px; or w.e
Perhaps specifically set the padding/margin to 0px.

I am trying to send html emails with images. Images look good in all email clients but in outlook they are too wide. How to fix max-width of image?
<table id="cg-cmgxsgg" class="widget widget-image " width="580" data-widget-code="email-image">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<div><img src="http://vcap.me//file/get/ce2c1e66-2129-41e8-903c-a40300e7bbd0" width="580" alt="" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></div>
</td>
</tr>

Regardless of CSS support or HTML attributes, the main factor that is causing the issue in Outlook is the actual size of the image. Outlook usually ignores whatever HTML sizing (width= or height=) or CSS styling (width:, height:) and goes off of the embedded information in teh image. This is all based off DPI setting as well as the renderings of the Word HTML engine.
Mailchimp solutions
Below is snippet explaining the issue in more detail from here
"This issue usually happens when you are using a picture other than 96dpi.
When inserting a picture, Outlook will rescale the image as if it was a 96dpi image. This means that if you have a picture of 150dpi with a height of 88px, it will be displayed as an image of 56px high;
88px/150dpi * 96dpi = 56px
It even gets worse; upon sending, Outlook will convert and compress (re-render) the images to 96dpi with the new dimensions permanently! This means that all the "detailed" picture information is lost and you'll be sending an image of 96dpi which is 56px high. This is of course a severe and very visible quality loss.
If your picture is less than 96dpi, then the opposite happens. A picture of 88px high with a dpi of 32 would then result in a 96dpi image of 264px high. So the result will be a very large image (but this time you can resize it back without the image becoming blurry).
This is a long outstanding issue/function/design choice which goes back all the way to Word 6.0 from 1993."
For setting a max-width on images for Outlook I add a Width="600" attribute to the img tag. Note the lack of px on that size, with px it doesn't work and it must be on the img tag, not any parent element.
E.g.
<img width="600" src="http://www.myimage.co.nz/myimage.jpg" alt="My Image" />
On a side but related note I use a width of 280 for side by side images in a 600 width table. This is because Outlook adds padding (or maybe margin) and they would stack if you made them both 300.
Couple of things, I'd refrain from using floats etc in your emailer code and also would remove that wrapper div, with emailers you've really got to go with simple table markup. Also try to avoid things like p tags etc as they create additional space etc.
For your actual question I'd try something like this, I'd set a height on my image and ive it display:block
<table id="cg-cmgxsgg" class="widget widget-image" width="580" data-widget-code="email-image" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="http://vcap.me//file/get/ce2c1e66-2129-41e8-903c-a40300e7bbd0" width="580" height="200" alt="" style="display:block;">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
max-width is not a supported CSS style in Outlook 2007. (Neither is float, apparently.) Outlook is notorious for providing very limited CSS support.
Your best solution is to specify a smaller width (and height) in the HTML attributes:
<td align="center">
<div><img src="..." width="500" height="300" alt="" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></div>
</td>
I'm a bit late to the party (got here via Google). What works for me, and what I didn't see in the answers, is conditional comments for Outlook.
They work like this:
<!--[if mso]>
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100%;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="600" style="width:600px;">
<![endif]-->
<table align="left" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="min-width:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<img align="center" alt="" src="[image source here]" width="[desired width here]">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!--[if mso]>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<![endif]-->
What your're doing here is essentially wrapping your image table in another table with fixed width, but only for Outlook.

I am using this with perfect success in Outlook 365 (2022):
<img src="https://picsum.photos/1000/1000" width="100%" style="width: 100%;">
I am coding a html email, the problem is that I have a black border around my table, when I slcide psd make it no image and set background color like this
<td width="640" height="2" colspan="16" style="background-color:#666666;">
left and right <td> look ok in html and the email client, but the upper and bottom one are bit expanded, see attached image for this
This is in my laptop upper <td>
and this is how it looks in emails
code is simple as
<td width="640" height="2" colspan="16" style="background-color:#666666;">
</td>
What's the problem with it? Please help ..!
Outlook expands all table cells to a minimum of 19px high. This is something you'll need to work around in html email design. One method is to create a 20px high image that has your 2px border across the bottom.
Add this to your CSS and see how it works:
body
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
try adding
style="border-collapse:collapse;"
to your
<table>
like this
<table style="border-collapse:collapse;">
Your table has borders, as is the standard. This is my snippet for all of my tables' structure-
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="640" style="border-collapse:collapse; padding:0; margin:0px;">
<tr valign="top">
<td align="left">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Is there a spacer gif in your TD ?
If yes, the trick is simple :
<img src="SPACER" border="0" style="display:block;" height="x" width="y" alt="" />
This will collapse the white space around your images. Make sure you set the same height to your td and img also.
I think you might need to add some position property
Try position: absolute
Hi i have a issue in outlook 2010 i want to give 10px space between the tds but its not working. please help.
<table style="cellspacing:0px;cellpadding:0px;border:0;border-spacing:10px;">

try adding a table cell between them with the width of 10px :
</td>
<!-- your first td ends -->
<!-- the spacer td -->
<td align="top" width="10> </td>
<!-- your second td begins -->
<td id="cont1" align="top">
Works for my email templates everytime in all email clients.
Try adding the cellspacing property to the table tag
<table cellspacing="10" style="border:0;">
Marks answer will do the job perfectly, don't add cellspacing or cellpadding as it is incredibly inconsistent across email clients, I would also say don't use margin and padding for the same reason but in rare cases where you cannot use any other spacing method you wont have any choice. For your border I would also avoid using the shorthand and set each part of the border individually:
border-color: #ffffff;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
as some clients will just ignore the shorthand version.
where possible you should use html styling rather than inline css, as even though inline is the only real way to use css, html is still more widely recognised across older email clients.
valign="top"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0"
all of these can be added to the tag rather than including them in styles. This will ensure any old clients or even just company webmails wont kick up a fuss.
I know you didn't ask about it, but just for consistencies sake I thought I would point that out.
I am working on e-mail template. Code is something like this :
<table width="702" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" id="template">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<img src="/email/new/top_bar.png" width="702" height="11" alt="" border="0">
<img src="/email/new/bottom_bar.png" width="702" height="11" alt="" border="0">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I always get vertical whitespace between these two images.
I tried using valign, vspace but no luck. How to get rid of it?
You get whitespace because the images are laid out inline (between two rows of lines there is spacing). You can either lay them out as block elements....
img { display:block; }
.. or you can use the vertical-align property to define a different vertical align which should remove the spacing...
img { vertical-align:top; }
http://vidasp.net/media/CSS-vertical-align.gif
BTW, please stop using deprecated attributes (cellpadding, cellspacing, align, border). For each of those attributes there is a CSS alternative which should be used. Also, use some CSS reset code (like Yahoo CSS Reset)...
Strange: This shouldn't be.
Maybe the E-Mail client interprets the line break in between the <img>s as white space.
Try setting them directly next to each other: <img src...><img src...
Your lines are high enough to accommodate text in the default font, which is higher than your 11 pixel images, hence the gap.
You need to make the lines smaller; the simplest way for your example is to shrink the font:
<td style="font-size: 1px;" align="left" valign="top">
Tested in IE 8, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 6.
As we all know, Outlook 2007 uses the Word 2007 rendering engine, causing endless grief when designing HTML email message. [Insert rant here] In particular, float, margin, and padding are - shall we say? - poorly supported.
To simulate float so that text wraps around an image, apparently we can simply use:
<img src="foo.png" align="right">
The issue is padding/margin. Without padding/margin, the wrapped text butts up against the image which looks goofy. One workaround is to edit the image and add transparent framing that simulates margin.
Does anyone know any other workarounds?
After reading Microsoft's documentation on Outlook 2007 support, I found that using hspace on an image will work to create white space around it similar to padding.
[ img src="image.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="10" ]
That will give you the equivalent of 10px of padding. Works pretty well across email clients.
Figured I'd share in case someone else Googling the issue stumbles across this question like I did.
I have tried it this morning and sadly borders on images arnt supported, however, you can implement the concept on the text area :).
border-left: 7px solid #fff;
for example, inside a white container would give the visual effect of left padding....
One place that padding is supported in Outlook '07 is <td> tags. So I have solved this by wrapping the image in a table:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="padding: 0px 10px 0 0;">
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/myimage.jpg" style="width:60px; height:100px;" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The text I want to see wrap...</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Note the align="left" is on the parent table as well as the one immediately holding the image. This hack is needed for Outlook 2013. Everything else looked great without it on Litmus.
Adding padding around in image for Outlook and all other email clients.
I found that this works.
img {
padding-left: 25px!important;
padding-top: 25px!important;
padding-bottom: 25px!important;
padding-right: 25px!important;
}
I know this thread is old, but an alternative would be to give the image a solid border the same colour as the container.
If you add a inline style to the img tag with a margin command like this:
<img src="foo.png" align="right" style="margin:5px;">
I'm guessing that is what you're trying to do.
