CSS Inliner

Convert CSS style tags to inline styles for HTML emails and other applications.

What is CSS Inlining?

CSS inlining is the process of converting external or internal CSS styles into inline styles directly on HTML elements. This is particularly useful for HTML emails, as many email clients don't support external stylesheets or <style> tags.

How to Use the CSS Inliner Tool

  1. Enter your CSS code in the CSS input area
  2. Enter your HTML code in the HTML input area
  3. Click the "Inline CSS" button
  4. The tool will process your code and display the inlined HTML in the result area
  5. You can copy the result to your clipboard or download it as an HTML file

Benefits of CSS Inlining

  • Email Compatibility: Most email clients require inline CSS for proper rendering
  • Self-Contained HTML: The HTML file contains all styling information without external dependencies
  • Improved Loading: No additional HTTP requests for external stylesheets
  • Consistent Rendering: Ensures styles are applied consistently across different platforms

When to Use CSS Inlining

CSS inlining is most commonly used for:

  • HTML email templates
  • Embedded HTML content in third-party platforms
  • Single-file HTML documents that need to be shared
  • Web scraping results that need to preserve styling

Limitations

While CSS inlining is useful, it has some limitations:

  • Increases the size of the HTML document
  • Makes the HTML harder to read and maintain
  • Some complex CSS selectors may not be properly inlined
  • Pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements cannot be inlined
  • Media queries cannot be inlined

Best Practices

  • Keep your CSS simple and avoid complex selectors
  • Use class-based selectors for better inlining results
  • Test your inlined HTML in different email clients
  • Maintain a separate non-inlined version for easier maintenance
