Stop Screenshotting Emails Into Figma

If you work on email campaigns with a team, you've probably done this:

  1. Finish your HTML email
  2. Screenshot it
  3. Open Figma
  4. Paste
  5. Share the Figma link
  6. Wait for comments
  7. Make changes
  8. Screenshot again
  9. Make changes
  10. "Wait, which version is this?" It works. Barely.

Why We All Do This
Figma has great commenting. Click anywhere, leave a comment, it pins to that spot. Tag people. Resolve threads. Everyone knows how to use it.
So when you need feedback on an email, Figma seems obvious. Just paste a screenshot and let people comment.
But it's a workaround, not a workflow.

What Breaks
New screenshot for every version. Every time you make a change, that's another screenshot to paste.
Version control is manual. email_v2_final_FINAL_revised.fig. We've all been there.
Team members get confused. Not everyone lives in Figma. Some people find it overwhelming just to leave a comment.
Context switching. Code editor, screenshot tool, Figma, Slack, repeat. Every review cycle is 5 tools.
What I wanted was Figma's commenting. But on the actual email. The live HTML, not a screenshot.
So I built it.

EmailQA
Upload your HTML email. Get a shareable link. Send it to anyone.
Reviewers click anywhere on the email and leave comments. A highlight shows exactly what they're referring to. Just like Figma. Reviewers don't need to create accounts.
Upload a new version and compare them side-by-side or with a slider. Edit the HTML right in the tool. Sync comments to Slack and reply from there.

Free forever. $10/mo for Slack integration and team features.
