Image Element in the Sparkforge Email Builder

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Image Element is a drag-and-drop block in the Sparkforge Email Builder that inserts images via upload, URL, or file library, with controls for size, alignment, and links.

The Image Element drops images into any Sparkforge email layout. Upload from your device, paste a hosted URL, or pull from the file library. Resize, align, link, and pad — all from the Edit panel.

What the Image Element handles

  • Upload from device or paste an image URL.
  • Resize with custom width and height or auto-scale.
  • Align left, center, or right.
  • Make the image clickable by attaching a link.
  • Apply padding for layout balance.
  • Render consistently across major email clients and devices.

Note: Keep images under 1 MB and use JPG or PNG to protect deliverability and load times.

How to add and configure the Image Element

  1. Go to Marketing → Emails → Templates in your sub-account.
  2. Open an existing template or click + New to create one.
  3. In the Email Builder, click Add Elements (+) in the left sidebar.
  4. Drag the Image Element into your layout.
  5. Click the element to open the Edit tab and choose:
    • Upload an Image from your computer.
    • Use an Image URL by pasting a direct link.
    • Adjust Width & Height with custom values or auto-scaling.
    • Add a Link in the Redirection Link field to make the image clickable.
    • Set Alignment to left, center, or right.
    • Add Padding around the image.
  6. Open the Visibility tab for device-based visibility or conditional sending.
  7. Preview in desktop and mobile before sending.

Performance tips

Compress images before uploading. Heavy attachments slow load and hurt inbox placement. Stick to JPG, PNG, or GIF, and keep file size under 1 MB whenever possible.
