How to Set a Transparent Background in Your Email Template or Cell

Using transparent backgrounds in your email design allows for greater flexibility—especially when layering background images or coordinating with other brand elements. Whether you’re applying a background image to the full template or just want to avoid color clashes, transparency can help your layout breathe.

Why Use Transparent Backgrounds?

  • Allows background images to show through

  • Prevents unwanted color clashes when layering elements

  • Gives you more design flexibility across screen sizes and devices

How to Set a Transparent Background

For the Entire Template

  1. Open your email template or campaign in the editor.

  2. Navigate to the STYLE tab located at the top-right of editor.

  3. Click open the color picker for the standard background or extended background.

  4. Click the No Color checkbox to set background to transparent.

Tip: Repeat the process for both standard and extended background settings if needed.


For an Individual Cell

  1. Click into the cell you want to edit.

  2. On the right-hand side, select Cell Style.

Notes

  • If you're applying a full-width background image, make sure both the template background and any cell backgrounds are set to transparent.

  • Transparency ensures that your design is clean and adaptable, especially in sections with layered content.
