# Preview and test emails

> Check an email on desktop, mobile and in dark mode, preview it with example data, publish a web version, and send test emails to yourself and your team.

## Preview on the canvas

The editor always shows three previews side by side: **Desktop**, **Mobile** and **Dark mode preview**. You don't need a separate preview mode.

* **Dark mode previews** in the zoom menu turns the dark mode preview on or off.
* **Show with images blocked** shows the email as it looks before an inbox loads images. Check that your alt text makes sense.
* The size at the bottom of the canvas shows how heavy the email is. Gmail clips emails over 102 KB.

Inside a campaign, the [campaign canvas](https://help.emaillove.com/builder/getting-started/campaigns.md#the-campaign-canvas) shows every email side by side.

## Preview as

**Preview as** appears at the top when the email has merge tags or conditions. It shows the email with example values, a saved profile, or one version of each condition. Use it to check that merge tags have sensible fallbacks.

## See the code

Click **Code** at the top of the editor to see the email's HTML. It's read only.

## Send a test email

1. Click **Send test** at the top right, or **Send test email** in the **Share** menu.
2. Under **Send to**, enter up to 10 addresses, separated by commas. Each person gets their own copy.
3. Check the **Subject line**.
4. Click **Send test**.

Depending on the email, the dialog also shows:

* **Test list**: pick a saved list of addresses. Tick **Save these as a test list** to save the ones you typed.
* **Language**: which language to send.
* **Preview data**: which example values fill the merge tags.
* **Send as**: which version of each condition to send, or **Every version**.

Test emails:

* have "\[Test]" at the start of the subject line.
* fill merge tags with their example values.
* are free on every plan, including Free. They don't count as exports.
* go out even when a check would block export.

You can send up to 20 test emails an hour. Each address counts as one.

## Publish to web

**Share** › **Publish to web** puts a copy of the email on a public web page.

1. Click **Publish email**.
2. Copy the **Public link** with **Copy link**, or click **Open published email**.

After you change the email, click **Update published email**. Click **Unpublish** to take it down.

Publishing to web counts as an export. See [Export and download](https://help.emaillove.com/builder/sending/export.md).

## Share a PDF or an image

**Share** › **Download PDF** opens your browser's print dialog, where you can save the email as a PDF. **Export to image** downloads a picture of the whole email. Both count as exports.

To share a single section as a picture, open its **⋯** menu in the outline and choose **Download as image**.
