Email images that just work: host, resize, and optimize your campaign media in SpiderMedia

Email media is deceptively fiddly: where do you host the images so they don't break in the inbox, how do you get retina-crisp art that still loads fast, and what do you do about video — which most email clients won't even play?

SpiderMedia gives your campaigns one reliable home for every asset, with the resizing, formatting, and hosting email actually needs — and analytics on the video your emails drive traffic to.

One home for your campaign media

Every image, GIF, and video you use in a send lives in one managed Library — searchable, reusable across campaigns, and served from a fast CDN built for delivery. No more hot-linking from a random bucket and hoping it stays up.

The right size and format for every email

Request the exact rendition you need by URL — a 600px-wide body image, a 2x retina version, a WebP with a clean JPEG fallback for the clients that need it. Upload the original once; SpiderMedia generates and caches each variant, so your emails stay sharp and light.

Hosting that doesn't break in the inbox

Images served from a dedicated media CDN, with long-lived caching — the difference between a campaign that renders everywhere and one full of broken-image icons.

Video in email, done the right way

Drop in an animated preview or a poster that links to your hosted, streaming video on your own domain — and because we run the player, you get views and watch-time on exactly the video your email sent traffic to. Now you can prove which send actually drove the watch.

Your email agents pull assets automatically

SpiderMedia is AI-native: the Library is a tool your campaign agents call over MCP and the API, so an agent assembling a send can fetch the right image, size it for email, and grab the video thumbnail — without you wiring anything up.
