Playable enables high definition video and live streaming to play directly inside an email the moment it is opened.
Unlike traditional animated GIF solutions, Playable delivers true HD video within supported email clients, creating a richer and more engaging inbox experience.
How Playable Works
Playable’s patented platform dynamically optimizes video and live streams in real time at the moment the email is opened.
For each individual viewer, Playable automatically adjusts:
Video format
Frame rate
Resolution
These adjustments are based on:
Device
Email client
Network connection
This ensures fast loading times and the highest possible quality experience for every recipient.
True HD Video Inside Email
Most modern email clients, including Apple Mail, Gmail, and Microsoft Outlook, support high definition video formats such as MP4 and HEVC.
HD video supports millions of colors and significantly higher visual fidelity compared to animated GIFs, which are limited to 256 colors.
The result is:
Sharper visuals
Smoother playback
Stronger engagement
Better campaign performance
Today, over 80% of Playable video email campaigns are delivered in HD and Retina display quality.
