How to Preview MJML Emails Online (Free, No Install)

Quick Answer

How do you preview an MJML email online?

Paste your MJML into MailViewr. It compiles the MJML to HTML in your browser, then previews the result across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and mobile with dark mode — no signup, no install. You can also run a QA report and download the generated HTML.

MJML makes responsive, Outlook-safe email markup far easier to write — but the official compiler stops at HTML. The real question every email developer has is: how will this actually look in my subscribers' inboxes? This guide shows how to preview MJML across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and mobile — for free, entirely in the browser.

Why previewing MJML matters more than compiling it

Compiling MJML to HTML is a solved problem — the official engine does it well. The hard part is everything aftercompilation: confirming the generated HTML renders correctly across clients, survives dark mode, and passes a pre-send QA check. That's where a previewer beats a plain converter.

Step 1: Paste your MJML

Open the MJML email preview tool and paste your MJML. MailViewr auto-detects the <mjml> root and switches the editor into MJML mode — no configuration needed.

Step 2: Compile to HTML in the browser

Click Preview and MailViewr compiles your MJML to email-ready HTML client-side using the official MJML engine. Because compilation happens in your browser, your source is never uploaded to a server just to preview it.

Step 3: Preview across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail & mobile

The compiled HTML flows through the same rendering pipeline as hand-written HTML, so you get accurate, side-by-side previews across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and mobile — including a dark mode toggle to catch color-inversion bugs.

Step 4: QA and download the HTML

Run a Pre-Send QA Reporton the compiled output to check structural issues and spam score, then download the generated HTML for your ESP. That's the full MJML workflow — write, compile, preview, test, ship — in one place.
