Generate custom font images for emails using SVG, PNG, and Base64 formats without design software.
What is Using Custom Fonts in Emails?
custom-fonts-in-emails is a Node.js library that generates images with custom fonts for use in HTML emails. It allows developers to programmatically create SVG, PNG, or Base64-encoded graphics from text, replacing the need to manually design images in software like Photoshop. The library handles font detection, retina scaling, and fallback styling to ensure emails render correctly across clients.
Developers building email templates or transactional email systems who need to incorporate brand-specific typography without relying on design tools. It's particularly useful for Node.js-based email pipelines using nodemailer or Lad.js.
It dramatically simplifies embedding custom fonts in emails by automating image generation, supporting retina displays, and providing offline-compatible fallbacks—all through a clean, promise-based API.
