This tutorial will guide you through the process from start to finish.

Why HTML Emails Matter

Before diving into the tutorial, let's understand why HTML emails are so valuable:

• Higher engagement rates: HTML emails with visual elements have 26% higher open rates than plain text emails

Getting Started with Tixian's AI Email Generator

Step 1: Upload Your Visual Content

The first screen of Tixian's email generator allows you to upload visual content that will guide the AI in creating your email.

1. Navigate to the email generator tool at app.tixian.io
