How does the countdown generator work?

1

Configure your timer

Choose the deadline, customize colors, typography, language and size of the countdown timer.

2

Copy the HTML code

Copy the generated <img> tag with a single click. It's an animated GIF served from a URL.

3

Paste into your email

Updates in real time

Every time a subscriber opens the email, the server generates a fresh GIF with the remaining time.

Why use a countdown timer in your emails?

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes, 100% free. No signup required, no watermarks, and you can generate as many timers as you want.

Does it work with Klaviyo?

Yes. Copy the HTML code and paste it into an HTML block inside the Klaviyo template editor. It also works in automated flows.

Does it work with Mailchimp, Mailjet and Brevo?

Yes. The countdown is a standard GIF image that works with any email marketing platform that supports HTML: Mailchimp, Mailjet, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, GetResponse, ConvertKit and any other ESP.

Does the timer update every time the email is opened?

Yes. The GIF is dynamically generated on the server each time the email client requests the image, always showing the actual remaining time.

Does it work in Gmail?

Yes. Gmail natively supports animated GIFs, both in the web version and the mobile app. The countdown will display animated with seconds counting down in real time.

Does it work in Outlook?

Outlook web (365) displays the full animation. Outlook desktop only shows the first static frame, which still displays the correct countdown at the time of opening.

How large is the generated GIF?

Between 50 KB and 200 KB depending on the size and colors chosen. This is an acceptable weight for email and does not affect deliverability or message load time.

What happens when the countdown reaches zero?

When the deadline expires, the timer automatically displays a customizable message (default: "OFFER EXPIRED"). You can change this text in the generator options.

Can I create multiple timers at once?

Yes, there is no limit. Each configuration generates a unique URL. You can create as many countdowns as you need for different campaigns, offers or products.

Can I change the GIF font?

Yes. The generator includes over 15 Google Fonts that are automatically downloaded on the server. Choose the one that best matches your brand's visual identity.

Can I use a transparent background?

Yes. Enable the "Transparent background" option in the colors panel and the GIF will be generated without a background, adapting to your email template color.

Does the countdown work with my subscribers' timezone?

The timer uses the timezone you configure in the generator. The deadline is absolute: when it's 23:59 in the chosen timezone, the countdown expires for all subscribers at the same time.
