As someone who produces content and markets through email, I frequently come across the need to adjust the size of images in order to enhance them for my email promotions. Fortunately, Mailchimp provides an uncomplicated and effective resolution for this issue. Now, let’s get started!
Step 1: Access Mailchimp
To begin, log in to your Mailchimp account and navigate to the “Campaigns” tab. From there, select the campaign you want to work on or create a new one. Once you’re in the campaign editor, you’ll be ready to resize your image.
Step 2: Insert the Image
Next, click on the content block where you want to insert your image. In the toolbar, you’ll find the “Insert Content” option. Choose “Image” from the dropdown menu. A dialog box will appear, allowing you to select the image you want to resize. Simply choose the desired image and click “Insert”.
Step 3: Edit the Image
Once the image is inserted, you’ll notice a blue border around it. Click on the image to reveal the editing toolbar. Now, click on the “Design” tab to access the image editing options.
Option 1: Resize the Image
To make your image smaller while maintaining its proportions, click on the “Resize” button. You’ll have the option to enter specific dimensions or use the slider to adjust the size visually. Remember to keep an eye on the image preview to ensure it looks just right.
Option 2: Crop the Image
If you want to crop your image to a specific size or remove unwanted elements, click on the “Crop” button. A cropping frame will appear over your image. Simply drag and resize the frame to select the desired portion of the image. Click “Apply” to finalize the crop.
Step 4: Save and Preview
Once you’re satisfied with the resized image, click “Save & Close” to apply the changes. Remember to save your campaign before proceeding.
