Frequently Asked Questions
Most modern email clients — including Gmail, Apple Mail, and Outlook on Mac — fully support animated GIFs. Outlook 2007–2019 on Windows is the main exception: it displays only the first frame. To handle this gracefully, design your first frame to still communicate the offer or deadline clearly.
Use Target Date for email campaigns. Every time a recipient opens the email, the GIF reloads and shows the exact time remaining — so latecomers see an accurate countdown, not a stale one.
Minimal impact. The GIF is served from our CDN-backed servers and is typically under 100 KB. Recipients with slow connections may see a brief delay before the animation plays, but the image will still display.
Absolutely. Copy the embed link once and reuse it across as many sends or templates as you like. The timer always reflects the true time remaining until your target date.
Yes. You can customize the background color, text color, and font to match your brand before generating. Consistent branding keeps the timer feeling like a natural part of your email rather than a generic add-on.
Embed links are stored indefinitely, so your countdown will keep working in archived or re-sent campaigns for as long as the service is running.
