How to set up a signature in Gmail?

If you use Gmail on the web or the Gmail app on iOS or Android, you can create a signature that will appear automatically or on demand in all your emails.


Here’s how to do it for the web version:

  1. In Gmail, click the gear icon located at the top right next to your avatar.
  2. Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.
  3. Scroll down until you find the “Signatures” option.
  4. Click “+ Create” to add a new signature and give it a name.
  5. Use the editor to format your signature to your preference.
  6. Configure options to determine when the signature should be added to your emails.
  7. Once you’re done, save your changes.

If you’re having trouble aligning an image in your signature, here’s a helpful tip:

  1. Open Google Sheets and create a new document.
  2. Place your full signature with an image in the first cell.
  3. If necessary, adjust the color and formatting of the text.
  4. Insert the image into the cell using the “Image > Insert Image into Cell” option.
  5. Name the document and share it by selecting “All (with link)”.
  6. Select and copy the cells containing your signature.
  7. Go back to your Gmail signature settings and paste the signature you created into your Google Sheets document.
