CSS - The 'object-fit: cover' attribute isn't functioning properly within the HTML email content

Could you please assist me with my html email body issue regarding the "object-fit: cover;" parameter? It works perfectly when displayed on the web, but is not functioning correctly in an html email body.

EmailProvider: New Outlook in WIN PC Mobile: Also Outlook

Here is a sample of the code:

body {
  background-color: ;
  font-family: roboto;
}

.PanelPicture {
   ...
}

.PanelBackground {
   ...
}

.Scena1 {
   ...
}

<center>
  <div class="PanelBackground">
    <div class="PanelPicture">
      <img src="paris.jpg" alt="Paris" , class="Scena1">
    </div>
  </div>
</center>

You can test by changing "paris.jpg" to any picture you have or even try it here on w3schools - just swap codes and keep the image (image from that page).

Issue: When I receive this email, the picture does not fit within ".PanelPicture"; instead, it overlays outside.

I came across Can I Email - css object fit which states that my email client should support this feature.

I'm hoping for a code revision to help solve the issue of fitting the picture inside the panel within the email's html body as well.

Answer №1

Emails require a different approach compared to web design.

To ensure compatibility, I made adjustments such as inlining code, utilizing tables instead of divs, and cleaning up HEX colors from 8 characters to 6. While this resulted in the desired outcome, there were some limitations, such as lack of support for old Windows Outlook (conditional comments could be used as a workaround), and images not displaying properly on Yahoo/AOL clients.
