Email Preview Tool is a free website that shows your email the way people first see it: on the iPhone and Android lock screen, in the Gmail app inbox and opened, and in Gmail on a laptop. You can see where your subject and preview text cut off, in light or dark mode, and compare up to four versions side by side. There is no sign-up.

What stands out

Trade-offs
- The views are drawn, not tested on real devices, so cut-off points can differ by font, text size and app version
- It does not preview Outlook or Apple Mail, render full HTML emails or check spam placement
- The page says nothing leaves your browser but also offers read-only share links, and it does not explain how they work

Free, with no sign-up and no limits stated. The page says the preview character counts were measured on 19 October 2026 on drawn screens in Chromium on macOS using Apple's system font and Roboto, and that live readouts use your browser's fonts. The page names no operator and says it is not connected to Google or Apple.
