Gmail Clipping Checker

Check the source size of an HTML email and see how close it is to a commonly reported Gmail clipping benchmark.

Source size and reference

Paste email HTML to begin.
102,000-byte comparison reference

We use 102,000 bytes (102 decimal kB) as an advisory comparison to the commonly reported 102 KB Gmail benchmark. Below 90% is below; 90% to below reference is near; at or above is at/above. These bands are ours, not Google-defined probabilities.

This measures supplied UTF-8 source, including tags, comments, whitespace, line endings, entities and encoded data URI text. Remote image bytes and attachments are excluded. ESP links, personalization, encoding and added markup can change the delivered message. No exact cut position or deliverability is predicted.

Mailchimp explanation of Gmail clipping

HTML is analyzed locally in this browser and is not saved or uploaded by this tool. Shared site services may still make network requests.

How to check your email HTML

  1. Paste the HTML or import a UTF-8 .html file.
  2. Read exact bytes, decimal kB, binary KiB and the advisory band.
  3. Review overlapping diagnostics, compare an edited version, then test the final delivered email.

Features

  • Measures email HTML as UTF-8 source bytes
  • Shows size contributors and overlapping findings
  • Compares a revised version with the original
  • Compares size with an advisory Gmail reference
  • Lets you copy a concise size report

Use cases

  • Check an email before a Gmail send test
  • Find large markup in an email template
  • Compare the byte size before and after editing
  • Share a source-size report during email QA

What the number means

<p>Hello</p> is 12 UTF-8 bytes; &amp; is five source bytes. We count source code, not rendered text.

Remote image files are excluded, but URLs and embedded data URI text count. ESP tracking and personalization may change the received HTML.

A lower source size does not guarantee that Gmail will show the whole message. Preserve layout and required content when revising code.

Local analysis and limits

The tool analyzes locally and never renders or uploads your HTML. Files must be UTF-8 and at most 5 MiB; editor analysis stops above 5,000,000 UTF-16 units.

Questions about Gmail clipping

No. Mailchimp describes clipping around 102 KB. This tool uses 102,000 bytes as a transparent comparison convention, not an exact Gmail rule.

Only their HTML tags and URLs count here. Remote file bytes and attachments are excluded.

Review unnecessary markup, repeated styles and long URLs. Test the final delivered email; removing email-specific code can break the design.
