Explore Email CountdownsEmail countdown timer
Bring the same countdown into your email campaign.
Create a deadline once, then use it as an email countdown image, an animated Pro GIF, a shareable timer page, or a website embed. Teams use CountdownShare for Mailchimp countdown timers, Klaviyo launch flows, webinar reminders, abandoned cart campaigns, and evergreen email funnels where the inbox and landing page need to stay aligned.
Email clients do not reliably run JavaScript countdown widgets, so CountdownShare keeps the email version image-based and links subscribers to a matching live countdown page.

Designed for inboxes
Use email-safe countdown images and Pro animated GIFs instead of scripts or iframes that email clients block.
Works with major ESPs
Add countdown timers to Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Brevo, HubSpot, and SendGrid using image or HTML blocks.
Ready to review before send
Check Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile width, fallback copy, dark mode, CTA placement, and tracking links.
Consistent after the click
Send subscribers to a matching countdown page so the email, offer page, checkout, and expired state all agree.
Email workflow
A calmer way to ship countdown emails.
A good email timer does more than add urgency. It makes the deadline clear, keeps the click path consistent, and gives your team a repeatable pre-send process for newsletters, launches, promotions, and reminder sequences.
Step 01
Plan the real deadline
Set the end time, timezone, offer copy, and expired state before adding the timer to your email template.
Step 02
Add the email-safe timer
Use a countdown image or Pro animated email GIF in the supported image or HTML block inside your email platform.
Step 03
Verify the full click path
Send test emails, click the timer and CTA, and confirm the destination page shows the same deadline.
Email timer formats
Choose the output that fits the campaign.
Use lightweight image output for simple email campaigns, animated Pro GIFs when the in-email visual matters, and a matching countdown page for the post-click experience.
Static countdown image
A simple email-safe image for campaigns that need a clean visual deadline and a link to the live countdown page.
Animated email GIF
A Pro option for launch, sale, and reminder emails where a ticking visual countdown helps the deadline stand out.
Matching countdown page
A destination page that keeps the same deadline visible after subscribers click from the email.
Common email campaigns
Use countdowns where timing is part of the decision.
Countdown emails work best when the deadline is real and the next action is obvious. Keep the timer close to the CTA and make sure the destination page repeats the same deadline.
Product launch emails
Count down to early access, release day, waitlist close, or launch pricing deadlines.
Flash sale emails
Show how much time remains before a discount, bundle, or seasonal offer expires.
Abandoned cart flows
Use a timer only when a real cart incentive, shipping cutoff, or offer window is ending.
Webinar reminders
Help registrants understand when registration closes, the session starts, or replay access ends.
Limited-time offers
Support honest urgency for bonuses, early-bird pricing, application windows, and campaign closes.
Evergreen sequences
Pair automated emails with a deadline experience that stays consistent for each subscriber.
