Why Regular Timers Don't Work in Email
JavaScript is stripped
Email clients remove all JavaScript for security, so regular countdown scripts won't run.
CSS animations are limited
Most email clients don't support CSS animations or keyframes, breaking animated elements.
Outlook is... Outlook
Microsoft Outlook uses Word's rendering engine and ignores most modern HTML/CSS.
Server-generated GIFs work everywhere
MailClock generates animated GIFs on-the-fly that display real-time countdowns in any email client.
No coding required
Design your timer visually, get a URL, paste it into your email—done. Works with any ESP.
Smart fallbacks for legacy clients
Legacy Outlook shows a static first frame, while all other clients see the full animation.
