Are newsletters with only images technical less smart to send?

Hey @Anoukvv 

Thank you so much for coming to the Community to ask your question about using images in your emails. 

Going overboard with images will increase the file size and load time of your emails.Typically, the reason for using images instead of text would be to include a custom font or an image with text on top of it. If you’re using a custom font for your logo or are including an image with a text overlay, there’s no way around using an image. For headings and paragraph text, on the other hand, don’t use images in lieu of text — and by this I mean don’t insert an image of the word “Welcome” instead of typing it out.

If the images in your email don’t load, an all-image email will look blank — not to mention, all-image emails can trigger spam filters. Your emails should be coherent with or without images.

Add some alt text
Because some of your email recipients might have images disabled, it’s important to use alt text. Alt text is a text description of an image. So, a photo of a flower could have an alt text description of “Flower,” but it’s good practice to be as descriptive as possible. In the event that your images don’t load, the alt text will describe what is meant to be represented, which is better than a blank screen.
