Quick summary

Changing line spacing in Mailchimp lets you control the readability and visual layout of your email campaigns. You can adjust line height directly inside the email editor by selecting a text block and choosing your preferred spacing from the toolbar.

Steps

📌 Why this matters

Controlling line spacing in Mailchimp email campaigns directly impacts how readable and visually polished your emails appear to subscribers. Proper line height improves scannability, reduces reader fatigue, and helps your message land more effectively — especially on mobile devices. Mailchimp's built-in line height control inside the email editor makes it easy to fine-tune text formatting without any custom code. For email marketers focused on engagement and click-through rates, getting typography right is a simple but high-impact optimization.
