Email Snipper

How Email Snipper works

Email Snipper is a browser-based email slicer built for Klaviyo. Upload one flat PNG or JPG of a finished design, cut it into slices, and Email Snipper builds the campaign inside Klaviyo: every slice compressed, uploaded in order, given your brand’s link and its own alt text.

A typical run takes under 60 seconds, against the usual loop of exporting sections by hand, compressing them elsewhere, rebuilding the campaign in Klaviyo and typing alt text into every block.

Three steps to a Klaviyo draft

Upload, slice, send. Everything in between is handled for you.

Step 01

Upload & lock the footer

Drag in a PNG or JPG of the finished design, up to 20 MB. Position the footer bar above your footer and everything below it is excluded from the export. Exports keep your upload’s format: JPEG stays JPEG, PNG stays PNG.

Step 02

Slice with precision

Click where you want a split and it lands instantly, with magnetic snapping to line it up and drag handles to fine-tune. A typical email is sliced in a handful of clicks. For product rows or side-by-side layouts, split any slice into 2–4 columns.

Step 03

Create the campaign in Klaviyo

Pick Campaign, Template or Images only, and Email Snipper does the rest: compresses each slice, uploads them in order, lays them out, applies your brand link and fills in alt text. The draft lands in Klaviyo ready to review and schedule.

What happens automatically

The parts of the job that eat the most time are the parts you don’t do.

Alt text, written for you

An AI model reads each slice and writes its alt text, skipping product packaging, legal fine print and footer boilerplate. Automatic before every send, editable, and unlimited on every plan.

Links applied across the email

Your default link goes on every image block at send, instead of pasting the same URL a dozen times. Brand profiles hold the URLs you use most; individual links stay editable in Klaviyo.

Compression built in

No second tool in the loop. Compression runs server-side for smaller files and quicker inbox load. On by default, unlimited on every plan including free, and switchable off.

Slices stay in order

Klaviyo’s image library sorts by upload time, so parallel uploads leave slices scrambled. Email Snipper uploads in sequence, so they arrive top to bottom as cut.

Your footer left alone

Everything below the footer bar is excluded from slicing and export, so the footer already built in Klaviyo, unsubscribe and address blocks included, is left as it is.

Brands saved and reused

Switch clients by picking a brand, not by re-entering credentials. Each profile holds its Klaviyo connection, links and audience defaults.

Three ways to send to Klaviyo

Most tools stop at uploading images. This is the difference worth understanding.

Campaign

The full build, done for you

Most used

A fully built draft campaign in your Klaviyo account. It arrives as a draft to review, adjust and schedule. Email Snipper never sends on your behalf.

  • Slices uploaded in order
  • Laid out in the campaign
  • Links applied
  • Alt text written
  • Campaign name
  • Subject line
  • Preview text
  • Audiences to send and exclude

Template

Reuse the same layout

A reusable drag-and-drop template in Klaviyo’s editor, slices in order and alt text filled in. For layouts you rebuild week after week.

Images only

Just the assets

Compressed slices go to your Klaviyo image library, in order, and stop there, for when you want to build the email yourself.

Not using Klaviyo? Download the slices as a ZIP or individual files for any ESP that accepts image uploads. Slicing and compression work identically. Only the campaign, template and library automation is Klaviyo-specific.

Choosing an email slicer for Klaviyo

The questions worth asking of any tool in this category, with straight answers.

Does it build the campaign, or just hand you images?

The biggest split in the category. Many slicers hand you files, or push them to an image library, and you still assemble the email. Email Snipper creates a complete draft campaign in Klaviyo: slices laid out in order, subject line, preview text and audiences already set.

How long does slicing actually take?

Auto-detection sounds faster, but it guesses, and the time saved goes back into checking and fixing the cuts it got wrong. Email Snipper makes the cut itself the fast part: one click per split, magnetic snapping to line it up, a typical email sliced in a handful of clicks, each one exactly where you chose.

Who writes the alt text?

Alt text matters for accessibility and for subscribers whose clients block images, but writing it slice by slice is slow enough that it gets skipped. Email Snipper’s AI model reads each slice and writes it automatically before sending, uncapped on every plan.

Is compression built in, or is it a second tool?

Heavy images cost you deliverability and load time, and a separate compression step means a second upload and download every campaign. Email Snipper compresses on the way through: instant in-browser, or server-side for smaller files.

Does slice order survive the upload?

Easy to miss until it bites. Klaviyo’s image library sorts by upload time, so parallel uploads can leave slices scrambled and you reorder by hand. Email Snipper uploads sequentially to preserve the order you cut.

Are your links and brand settings reusable?

If you run more than one brand, re-entering an API key and re-pasting the same URLs every session adds up. Look for saved brand profiles holding the connection, links and audience defaults together.

What does it actually cost per email?

Compare on cost per campaign, not headline price: a low monthly figure with a small allowance can work out dearer per email than a bigger plan. Email Snipper’s free tier is a real monthly allowance, not a trial. Prices are in the table below.

Can a team share one workspace?

Agencies and in-house teams usually need shared brands and history rather than a licence per person. Growth and Enterprise include a shared team workspace; seat counts are in the table below.

What does Email Snipper deliberately not do?

Three things, up front. No section auto-detection: you place each cut yourself. No Figma plugin: export a flat PNG or JPG from any design tool first. And the campaign automation is Klaviyo-only; other ESPs get slicing and compression through downloads, but not the campaign build. Alt text and the Klaviyo connection need a free account, no card; slicing and downloads don’t.

What it costs

One export is one email design sent to Klaviyo or downloaded. Cancel anytime.

Free $0/mo 10 exports a month, 3 brand profiles, unlimited alt text and image compression, saved project history.
Personal $19/mo 150 exports a month, 10 brand profiles, unlimited image compression and alt text.
Growth $65/mo 600 exports a month, unlimited brand profiles, shared team workspace with up to 10 seats.
Enterprise $149/mo Unlimited exports, unlimited brand profiles, shared team workspace with unlimited seats.

You can slice and download without an account at all, up to 10 exports. Only sending to Klaviyo or downloading counts as an export. Uploading, moving the footer bar and trying different cuts don’t.
