Email Not Displaying Correctly in Gmail: Fix Broken SVG Image Vectors for Brevo (Sendinblue) for B2B Cold Outreach
B2B cold outreach templates demand maximum deliverability and a plain-text appearance. Heavy, broken CSS structures or HTML syntax issues trigger spam filters instantly. Below is the targeted integration guide to fix Broken SVG Image Vectors inside Gmail App (iOS & Android) templates when using Brevo (Sendinblue).
Technical Breakdown
Gmail App (iOS & Android) uses the WebKit / Blink which lacks support for standard rendering rules. This causes Broken SVG Image Vectors elements to break or collapse when rendering templates.
Brevo (Sendinblue) Behaviors
Brevo's rendering system injects inline spacing helpers to support their responsive editor, which can cause column overlaps in Outlook. Using explicit table alignments is required. For cold sales outreach, minimize VML structures and prioritize light, standard text blocks to maximize inbox placement on corporate enterprise filters.
Remediation Code Block
Always convert logo assets and icons from vector SVG formats into web-friendly PNG or JPG formats. If vector rendering is required, host the SVG on a CDN with an absolute URL and define a PNG fallback utilizing conditional comments. In your Brevo (Sendinblue) campaign manager, make sure you configure your links to run via {{ unsubscribe }}.
