The little things in life are the best, like finding five bucks in your pocket or an extra chicken nugget in your drive-through order.

Another small thing that can make a big impact is adding videos to your email campaign (we’re talking major ROIs from your audience, people).

But video attachments usually aren’t practical, and not all video content is compatible across devices.

That’s where Playable Video Email comes in.

Video content is one of the best ways to gain user’s attention and garner interest (just ask PewDiePie).

Playable Video Email supports video duration up to 30 seconds.

The best part? Playable optimizes the video format (H.265 HEVC, H.264 MP4, WEBM, APNG, WEBP, GIF) for each recipient based on their email app, so the video will automatically play when they open their inbox.

Playable makes it easy to optimize the video format for each recipient based on their device.

Within 60 seconds, the tool generates an Embed Code that contains your video email content.

Playable makes it easy to embed videos into your preferred email platform and rock your campaigns.

Paste the HTML where you want the video to appear within your favorite email template, like Mailchimp, SendFox, Klaviyo, and dozens more.

The Embed code works with Playable servers to send the best format of the video to each viewer.

And not to worry — the video automatically optimizes for the recipient based on their email app, device, screen size, and network conditions. (The future is now.)
