Email signature generator

Fill in your details and watch your signature take shape as you type. When you like it, copy and paste it into your mail client. Free, no sign-up.

Your browser only Your name, phone number and email address go inside the signature: you type them so the signature shows them, not to hand them to us. They are never sent to a server and never stored. They only travel if you ask us to email the signature to you, and that is a separate decision you make yourself.

1 Pick a style
2 Your details

3 Image and colour

The most compatible option: the address of an image already published on your site. It must start with https.

The file never leaves your browser: it is embedded inside the signature itself. Careful: some mail clients do not display embedded images. If that happens, use the address of a published image instead.

Used for the links, the job title and the coloured details of the signature.

4 Social links

They are added as text links, not icons. An icon is an image hosted somewhere: many mail clients block it, and the ones that do load tell that server every time your message is opened.

5 Extras

The legal boilerplate many companies put at the end of their email. It is not compulsory and does not prevent anything on its own, but if you want one, here it is.

This message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information. If you have received it in error, please notify the sender and delete it.

Your signature

It updates as you type. What you see is exactly what gets copied.

Type your name and the signature will appear here.

Get your signature by email

We send the signature already rendered, so you can copy it straight out of the message and paste it, plus a zip file with the HTML and the install instructions.

That is all. We will not add you to any mailing list and we will not write to you again.

How to install the signature

Every mail client keeps it in a different place. Here are the most common ones, step by step. Outlook appears twice because it works differently on the desktop and in the browser.

Gmail

  1. Copy the signature with the "Copy signature" button.
  2. In Gmail, open the gear icon at the top right and click "See all settings".
  3. On the "General" tab, scroll down to "Signature" and click "Create new".
  4. Give it a name and paste the signature into the box with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac).
  5. Just below, select that signature for new emails and for replies.
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click "Save changes". Without that, nothing is saved.

Outlook (desktop)

  1. Copy the signature with the "Copy signature" button.
  2. In Outlook, go to File → Options → Mail and click "Signatures…".
  3. Click "New", give it a name and confirm.
  4. Paste the signature into the edit box with Ctrl+V.
  5. On the right, choose that signature for "New messages" and "Replies/forwards".
  6. Click OK to save.

Outlook on the web

  1. Copy the signature with the "Copy signature" button.
  2. Open the gear icon at the top right and go to Mail → Compose and reply.
  3. Under "Email signature", click "New signature" and give it a name.
  4. Paste the signature into the box with Ctrl+V.
  5. Select that signature for new messages and for replies, then click "Save".

Apple Mail

  1. Copy the signature with the "Copy signature" button.
  2. In Mail, open Mail → Settings (or Preferences) → Signatures.
  3. Pick your account in the left column and click the + button to create a signature.
  4. Untick "Always match my default message font" and paste the signature with Cmd+V.
  5. At the bottom, under "Choose signature", select the one you just created for that account.

Thunderbird

  1. Download the signature with the "Download as HTML" button.
  2. In Thunderbird, open the menu and go to "Account Settings".
  3. Select your account and tick "Attach the signature from a file".
  4. Click "Choose" and pick the file you just downloaded.
  5. Close the settings: it saves on its own.

If the colours disappear when you paste, only the plain text was pasted: use a normal Ctrl+V, not Ctrl+Shift+V, which strips formatting on purpose.

What an email signature is for

The signature is the one part of every email you write that never changes. Done well, it answers at a glance who you are, what you do and how to reach you, without anyone having to ask or go looking.

In HTML it can also carry your colour, your logo and links people can click: the phone number dials, the address opens a new message and the website opens itself. That is what a signature typed by hand into a text box cannot do.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no paid tier. The signature you see is the one you take away.

Do you store my details?

No. The name, job title and phone number you type go inside your signature and stay in your browser. All we record is that somebody used the tool, without knowing who. Your email address is only stored if you choose to have the signature sent to you, and then we ask for it separately, with a box you have to tick yourself.

Why are there no social media icons?

Because an icon is an image that has to be hosted on some server. Many mail clients block those images, so the signature would look broken; and the ones that do load tell that server every time somebody opens your email. Text links look the same everywhere and depend on nobody.

Does it work in desktop Outlook?

Yes. All five templates are built with tables and inline styles precisely for that reason: Outlook renders email with the Word engine, which does not understand modern layout. A signature built with current techniques looks fine in Gmail and falls apart in Outlook.

Do I have to add the confidentiality notice?

It is not compulsory and, on its own, it does not stop somebody who receives an email by mistake from reading or forwarding it. It is a widespread professional habit and little more. We offer it because a lot of people look for it, but the signature works just as well without it.
