Email Not Displaying Correctly in Gmail: Fix Broken SVG Image Vectors for React Email for eCommerce Campaigns
In eCommerce email marketing, rendering issues directly tank conversion rates and cart recoveries. Product grids, checkout CTAs, and discount banners must display flawlessly to prevent purchase drop-offs. Below is the targeted integration guide to fix Broken SVG Image Vectors inside Gmail App (iOS & Android) templates when using React Email.
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.
React Email Behaviors
React Email relies on compiling CSS parameters dynamically. However, React Email's compiler cannot parse raw MSO conditional comments or VML structures in TSX files directly. Double-check your dynamic product feed blocks. When injecting product loops from your catalog, ensure width sizes are explicitly handled to keep columns from overlapping.
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 React Email campaign manager, make sure you configure your links to run via {unsubscribeUrl}.

How to Deploy inside React Email
Copy the fixed VML or table wrapper code block from the remediation box above.
Import the standard '<Html>' or '<Container>' primitives. To insert our VML or custom Outlook table markup directly, wrap the raw HTML snippet inside React's 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML' parameter on a div or span.
