Image Editor Overview
The email editor includes an image editor that allows you to easily crop, rotate, resize, apply filters/frames, add stickers without leaving the editor.
Are SVG images supported?
As SVG images are not compatible with many email clients and browsers - you may see issues when using SVG images in a ContactMonkey Email. If used, SVG images may cause your template to fail when trying to insert or load it into the body of your email. We recommend sticking to JPG or PNG images when creating content within ContactMonkey.

Looking To Create A Circular Image?
If you are looking to create a circular profile image (to highlight new hires, as an example), you will first need to crop the image so that it's a perfect square (e.g. 300x300). Once that's done, you use the Corners function and apply a max corner radius.
