What is the Inline CSS Converter?

The free Inline CSS Converter moves CSS rules from a <style> block into inline style attributes on the matching elements. Inline styles are required by most email clients (Gmail, Outlook), which strip out <style> tags — so this tool is essential for building HTML email templates.

  • Prepare HTML email templates for Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
  • Inline styles for email newsletters and campaigns.
  • Ensure consistent rendering where <style> blocks are stripped.
  • Convert a small styled snippet into a self-contained inline version.
  • Fix emails that look unstyled in certain clients.

How to Use the Inline CSS Converter

  1. 1 Paste HTML that includes a <style> block into the input box.
  2. 2 The tool reads your CSS rules (tag, class, and id selectors).
  3. 3 Matching declarations are merged into each element’s style attribute.
  4. 4 Copy the HTML with Inline Styles for use in your email template.
