Premailer is a Ruby gem that prepares HTML email for delivery by inlining CSS styles, converting relative URLs to absolute, and checking CSS properties against email client support. It can also generate a plain-text version of the email and report potentially problematic CSS.

Use cases

  • inline css styles into html emails
  • convert a newsletter html file to email-safe html
  • generate plain text version of an html email
  • check which css properties are unsupported by email clients
  • convert relative links and image paths to absolute urls in email html

When to choose

  • you send HTML email from Ruby and need inline CSS for client compatibility
  • you want automated warnings about email-client-unsupported CSS
  • you need a plain-text alternative generated from HTML email

When to avoid

  • you need email sending/delivery itself - this only transforms HTML
  • your project is not in Ruby
  • you need MJML-style component-based email templating
