If you've saved a template or imported an HTML file to the Saved Templates page in your account, you can export an HTML file of that template to your computer. Use this file to edit the HTML code of the template, or upload the template to a different Mailchimp account.

In this article, you’ll learn step-by-step instructions on how to export the HTML of a custom-coded email template you have built in Mailchimp.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

  • This process is only for templates that you have custom-coded.
  • You can export the HTML from a custom-coded template to use in other applications. This process involves navigating to your saved templates and copying the code directly from the editor.
  • Drag-and-drop templates cannot be exported.

How to export your email template as HTML

To export your email template as HTML from a custom-coded template, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Campaigns, then select Email templates.
  2. Select the template you want to work with, to view the More options button.

  3. Click the More options drop-down menu, and choose Export as template.

  4. To copy your HTML code, locate the template you want to work with, click the More options drop-down menu, and choose Edit Template.

  5. In the code editor, highlight all the code and copy it to your clipboard.

Next Steps
