About this tool
Every marketing email should include both an HTML and a plain text version. This is called a multipart MIME email. Spam filters favor multipart emails because spammers typically only send HTML. Including a plain text version also helps accessibility, works with text-only email clients, and provides a fallback when HTML rendering fails. This converter handles links, headings, lists, and images intelligently. After generating your plain text, check your email with our email size checker and test your content for spam words. For overall deliverability, run your domain through our SPF checker and DMARC checker.
