Add a filter to an image in your email

Change the color, texture, or tone of an image to make your email feel moody, edgy, dreamy, or nostalgic

If you've found the perfect image but still aren't getting the right feel from your email, try using an image filter! Image filters add warmth or coolness to enhance moodiness, make an image feel aged and nostalgic, tone down images so they don't compete with other content, or even make images look more cohesive. Even imperfect images can be enhanced with a filter that hides their flaws.

You can access our image editing tools while editing your email draft:

1. If it isn't already, insert your image into your template.
   
   
    
2. Click on the image to open the left-hand panel and then click on the image to edit it.
   
   
    
3. Click Edit.
   
   
    
4. In the image editor, select the Filters option.
   
   
    
5. Click on a filter type to see the options.
6. Click on a filter to apply it to the image. Use the drag handle to adjust the effect, if available.
7. When you're finished, click Export.
   
   
    
8. Click Insert.
   
   
    

There are several filters, so go ahead and experiment—once you've saved your filter and inserted the new image into your email, you can repeat the process for an even more dramatic effect. The original image stays in your Library unaltered, and every time you add a new filter, a new version is saved. You can delete the ones you don't like.
