600px is the recommended maximum to render in all email clients

Our email builder makes it easy to design beautiful emails. In the Body menu of the Beefree email builder, you can adjust the width of your email. The default setting is 500px and the recommended maximum is 600px.

Widths wider than 600px may not render correctly in all email clients. In Gmail the background color will not appear.
