Gmail Signature Compatibility

Gmail Signature Compatibility across the board

We have spent hundreds of hours by now testing our html signatures with every major email client. Gmail is one of the most popular options when it comes to email considering you can use it for free, for businesses using Google Workspace (formerly GSuite) and it can be used in a variety of ways including the Gmail website, Gmail mobile app for iPhone, or you can purely use your Gmail account as an email server and hook it up to another desktop email program like Mac Mail or Thunderbird.

Our Gmail generator doesn't limit you to a few signature templates, rather it is a free-form custom builder that allows you to add as many fields and images as are needed. You can add your company logo, job title, company name, website, and as many phone numbers as needed. You can even change text color, text style, and spacing in your signature template.

With Signature.email you have the ability to create your desired signature with the exact signature details that you need.

Works For Teams

Use the generator to build an email signature for yourself or your whole team. Easily convert a single signature into a shareable generator link. Then choose which fields are editable and which fields be locked in the signature.

Send out the link to your team and all they need to do is visit the microsite, fill in their personal details, and copy and paste the signature into their email client of choice using our helpful instructions. It's the easiest way for a company to manage email signatures for their employees. If you need multiple signatures for different brands or companies, we can help with that too.

It was easy to use, completely customizable, and created a beautiful signature.

David Molina Testimonial

“We love using signature.email! Before this, we probably had 20 different email signatures across our organization, some with old logos, made-up logos, and even very old data. Signature.email allowed us to create an organizational standard email signature that was consistently repeatable. We just share the generator link with new hires, and boom!”

Carisa Wenstrom Testimonial

“We needed help with a client's project that involved creating an email signature that would look and work consistently across both Gmail and Outlook platforms. After trying to create the signature ourselves, we tried out several different signature builders before discovering Signature.email. I wish we had found it sooner, we could have saved ourselves so much time and energy! The pricing is fair, the features are perfect for what we need, and it's easy enough for our client to manage themselves!”

— Carisa Wenstrom, Co-Owner/Designer, Timber Dark Design
Dennis Brekke Testimonial

“It's amazing how difficult it is to manage email signatures. How do the email apps still not have an internal tool you can use to create and manage signatures?!? Thank god we found Signature.email - it is an absolutely essential tool for creating signatures for small or large companies. The generator tool that allows employees to setup their own signature (within predefined guidelines) is genius! Love it.”

— Dennis Brekke, Interactive Creative Director, Linnihan Foy

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Our email signature generator has been tested extensively with Gmail. The iOS mobile app technically only supports plain text email signatures, but it allows you automatically use your email signature set up on the Gmail website, which works like magic. The Gmail Android mobile app does support some HTML signatures, but has issues with images.

Gmail gives you the ability to create simple email signatures directly in the Gmail settings. You can format basic text, add web address links, and upload a logo.

Yes, Gmail allows you to add images into your email signature. Using their simple toolbar you can click on the insert image icon (a photo square with mountains) and then choose to add one from the web, your Google drive, or your computer. You can only resize the photo to preset "Small", "Medium", or "Large" sizes, and you cannot crop it there. If you are looking to do more advanced cropping and resizing you may want to consider a Gmail signature generator like Signature.email. Read more in our guide about adding images to Gmail signatures.

Yes, you can either find some and upload them yourself, or use our capable Gmail signature generator to add them for you. If you prefer to do it yourself you can find a list of social media icons here. Once there you can download them from the site you can open the Outlook signature and click the Add Image icon (square with mountains). Then you will want to click on it and press the Add Link icon with the chain link. Otherwise, if you want the process to be easier, feel free to try out our email signature generator where you can add in any social media icon customizing the shape, color and link in a matter of seconds.

Once you are logged into Gmail you will want to click on the Gmail settings gear icon towards the top right corner of the screen. This will open the Quick Settings sidebar menu, but we need to click on the "See all settings" button to see all the settings. In the General tab scroll down to where you see Signature and click the Create New button. Name your signature. Finally start editing or paste in the signature you copied from another source into the signature text box, then click save. If you are looking for more specific instructions that include screenshots, you can view them here.

Technically the iOS Gmail app only supports a simple plain text "Mobile Signature". This is a basic text signature that cannot have any text formatting, links or images. But if you have an email signature set up in the Gmail Website, then when you turn off the mobile signature functionality in the settings tab of the app it will automatically appends your full email signature (which can include formatting, links and images) to your new message itself. You will not see the signature as you are writing/editing your email, but if you send an email to yourself you will see it.

Gmail handles email signatures well, and has made great strides in the recent years to opening up signature possibilities within their applications. A few things to be aware of:

The Gmail web application has a limit of 10,000 characters in an email signature. This limit includes both the content of your signature as well as the code itself. In our experience this is more than enough for most email signatures, but if you have a really long disclaimer or a significant amount of content, this could become an issue.

The other thing to be aware of is how the iPhone mobile app handles email signatures. It technically only supports plain text email signatures, but allows you to automatically append your signature set up in the Gmail website onto your mobile email messages, which works great.

It's a mystery why the Android mobile app doesn't use the same behavior as the iOS mobile app. It seems to support HTML signatures but has issues with images which makes it a non-starter.
