Know the moment your email gets opened.

Paste your email, get back a tiny invisible image. Drop it into the message you send and watch the opens land on your bookmarked stats page. Free read receipts without a Chrome extension.

We use this only to associate the pixel with you. No marketing list, no confirmation email.

Heads up
  • Gmail proxies images via Google. You will see opens but not always the recipient’s real location.
  • Apple Mail Privacy Protection silently pre-loads images. Some opens may be Apple, not the human.
  • Outlook and most desktop clients block remote images by default. The recipient has to choose to load images for the pixel to fire.
How it works
  1. 1. Enter your email and an optional label.
  2. 2. Copy the <img> snippet into the body or signature of the email you are sending.
  3. 3. Bookmark the stats URL we hand back. Refresh it anytime to see who opened.
You track email opens, we track DM opens and link clicks.

Same idea, different channel. If your audience lives on Instagram, Creator Lane wraps every DM link, watches who clicks, and shows you the funnel.

How email open tracking works

Email open tracking uses a 1×1 transparent pixel embedded in the HTML body of your message. When the recipient opens the email and their mail client loads images, the pixel fires a request to our server — logging the timestamp, rough location, and device type. You get a bookmarkable stats URL where opens appear in real time. Unlike Chrome extensions that require both sender and recipient to install something, this works with any email client that renders images (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, most webmail). Caveats: some mail clients block image loading by default, and Apple's Mail Privacy Protection pre-fetches all images — so you may see a false positive from Apple Mail users. For brand-deal outreach, pitch follow-ups, and collaboration proposals, open tracking tells you whether the recipient saw your message before you decide to follow up or move on.
