Pixel-perfect email mockups without a real inbox
Need to show what an email notification will look like in a presentation? Building a tutorial about email etiquette? Creating content for a course on phishing awareness? Real email screenshots come with privacy problems. This tool sidesteps all of that.
Fill in the sender name, email address, recipient, subject line, body text, and timestamp. Toggle between Gmail and Outlook themes. Hit generate, and you get a canvas-rendered screenshot that looks like the real deal. Download as PNG and use it wherever you need.
Everything happens in your browser. No emails get sent. No data leaves your machine.
Creating your email mockup
- Fill in the sender details: name and email address.
- Add the recipient email address.
- Write your subject line and email body.
- Pick a date and time for the timestamp.
- Choose your theme: Gmail or Outlook. Each one uses the correct colors, layout, and typography for that email client.
- Click Generate to render the screenshot on canvas.
- Download as PNG when it looks right.
The live preview shows you exactly what the output will look like as you fill in each field. Tweak anything and the preview updates instantly.
Gmail vs Outlook, spot the differences
The tool replicates the visual DNA of each client:
Gmail renders with the familiar white background, blue accents, the sender avatar circle in the top-left, and Google’s specific font stack. The header bar, reply/forward icons, and message layout all match what you’d see in an actual Gmail inbox.
Outlook switches to Microsoft’s style, the blue header strip, different avatar treatment, and Outlook’s particular spacing and font choices. The layout shifts to match what Outlook users see every day.
Both themes include realistic UI chrome like action buttons and navigation hints. They’re convincing enough for presentations, tutorials, and design mockups.
Where people actually use this
Cybersecurity training. Companies run phishing simulations and need example emails that look authentic. Building them in a real inbox is awkward and risks confusion. This tool creates safe mockups that are clearly fabricated but visually accurate.
Course content and tutorials. If you’re teaching email communication, customer service workflows, or business writing, screenshots of “real” emails make your materials feel professional.
Pitch decks and client presentations. Showing a client what their automated email campaign will look like before it goes live. Way more convincing than a wireframe.
Video production. Films, YouTube videos, and social media sketches that need an email screen shot. Prop departments use tools like this constantly.
UI/UX design. Testing how your app’s notification email will look when it lands in someone’s inbox. Faster than sending actual test emails.
Don’t be that person
This tool is built for legitimate mockups, training materials, and creative projects. Using it to create fake emails intended to deceive, defraud, or impersonate someone is illegal in most jurisdictions. A “Created with Toolsvu” watermark is included in the render. Don’t be shady.
Email mockup questions
Does it actually send any emails?
No. Nothing gets sent anywhere. The tool renders a visual mockup on an HTML canvas in your browser. It’s a picture generator, not an email client.
Can I customize the body text formatting?
The body renders as plain text with line breaks preserved. It doesn’t support bold, italic, or HTML formatting within the body, keeping it simple matches how most email previews actually look.
Which theme looks more realistic?
Both are solid. Gmail is more recognizable since it’s the most-used email client globally. Outlook is better if your audience is in a corporate environment where Microsoft 365 dominates.
Can I remove the watermark?
The watermark exists to prevent misuse. It’s small and positioned at the bottom of the image, so it won’t interfere with presentations or educational materials.
