Cold Email Generator
Email Tools
Write personalized cold emails that get replies — not spam. Clear, concise, human-sounding. Free, no signup.
Why 95% of cold emails get deleted — and yours doesn't have to
Cold email fails when it's obviously mass-sent: generic opener, five paragraphs about the sender, vague 'quick call?' ask. The ones that get replies invert all three — a first line that proves you looked at this specific person, one clear value claim in their terms, and an ask small enough to say yes to in ten seconds. This generator drafts inside those constraints: under 150 words, personalisation slots you fill with real research, and a soft, specific CTA.
Cold email tips
- Earn the first line: reference something true and recent about them — a post, a launch, a hire. 'I saw your…' only works when you actually did.
- Keep it under 150 words. A cold email is a hallway pitch, not a proposal; the goal is a reply, not a decision.
- Make the ask absurdly easy: 'worth a 15-minute look?' or even 'open to seeing a 2-line example?' out-replies 'do you have 30 minutes this week'.
- One link maximum, no attachments — both trip spam filters on first-touch email to strangers.
- Follow up twice, spaced days apart, each adding something new. 'Just bumping this' adds nothing; a relevant example or result does.

Cold Email Generator — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
What's a realistic cold email reply rate?
Well-targeted, genuinely personalised campaigns see 5–15% reply rates; generic blasts sit under 1%. The multiplier is list quality and personalisation depth, not copy tricks — a mediocre email to exactly the right 50 people beats a perfect email to a scraped 5,000.
How long should a cold email be?
Fifty to 125 words — readable in one glance on a phone. Personalised opener (1–2 lines), the value claim with something concrete (2–3 lines), one easy ask (1 line). If you're explaining your whole product, you've written a landing page, not a cold email.
Is cold email legal?
B2B cold email is legal in the US under CAN-SPAM if you identify yourself truthfully, include a working opt-out and a physical address, and honour unsubscribes. The EU (GDPR) and Canada (CASL) are stricter — consent rules apply, so check the recipient's jurisdiction before the campaign, not after.
