How to insert image in gmail signature

Want to spice up your boring, text-only emails? You could add images to your signature in Gmail to help you do it. This guide will explain how.

An email signature is a good way to automatically sign off to emails with your name or business details. Email signatures usually contain text, but you can also add other forms of content, such as images or GIFs.

If your Gmail signature is looking a little plain, you could decide to add images to it. A company logo is a good idea, or you could add your face to the signature. You can use whatever image you want for your signature in Gmail—as long as it fits your circumstances.

If you’re unsure how, here’s a look at how to add an image to your Gmail signature.

How to Add an Image to Your Gmail Signature

Whether the Gmail account is business-focused or used for personal use, you can add an image you like to your signature. You can insert an image from your computer, Google Drive storage, or from a URL.

To add an image to your Gmail signature:

1. Head to the Gmail website and log in if you aren’t already. If you have multiple accounts, ensure you’re signed into the correct one. For example, you wouldn’t want an embarrassing image sent to business colleagues.
2. Click the Settings button (gear icon) in the upper-right corner of the Gmail page.
   
   
3. Select the See all settings button.
   
   
4. Scroll down under the General tab to the Signature section.
   
   
5. If you already have a signature, no problem. You can add an image to coincide with the existing signature. If you don’t have a signature, just create it.
6. Put the cursor in the spot where you want the image to appear and click the Image button from the bottom toolbar.
   
   
7. The Add an image window will come up. Here you can select an image from Google Drive, a web address, or upload one from your computer.
   
   
8. Highlight the one you want to use and click the blue Select button.
   
   
9. The image will appear in the editor at its original size. Click the image and choose Small, Medium, or Large. Ensure you’re selecting the best size for the picture so it looks professional (especially if this is a business account).
   
   
10. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save Changes button—your image and other signature edits won’t appear unless you save them.
    
    
11. Compose an email to preview how your signature with the image will appear. You can view it at the bottom of the email message.
    
    

Customizing Your Gmail Account

Using the steps above, you can quickly add an image to your Gmail signature. Just remember to carefully choose the image you’re using before you apply it.

It’s a good idea to pick an image that’s suitable for business or pleasure (depending on what you use your account for). For example, when emailing a job recruiter, you don’t want a goofy GIF or Instagram picture as your signature.

Do you want to add your company logo to your business signature or a picture of your motto to your personal signature? You can add an image to your Gmail signature for all outgoing emails or only the current one.

Whether you set up a specific signature for all emails or simply want to add an image to the email you’re composing, you can insert an image from a URL, Google Drive, or your computer.

Add an Image and Save the Signature

You can set up multiple signatures in Gmail. This lets you use a default signature or a different one for a certain email. You can add an image to these saved emails so that it’s included each time you use one.

Visit the Gmail website and sign in. Select the gear icon on the top right and pick “See All Settings” in the sidebar. Then, head to the General tab.

Scroll toward the bottom until you see the Signature section. If you already have a signature that you want to add the image to, select it to display it in the text editor to the right. Otherwise, choose “Create New” to set up a new signature.

For a new signature, enter the text you want to use for the signature, format it with the text editor tools, and place your cursor where you want the image. For an existing signature, just select the spot where you want the image. Click the Insert Image icon in the text editor.

When you see the pop-up window, use the Web Address, My Drive, or Upload tab at the top to locate the image. Click “Select.”

The image then appears in the text editor for your signature at its original size. Select the image in the signature to pick a different size like Small, Medium, or Large.

Make any other adjustments to the signature needed and optionally choose the Signature Defaults for new messages and replies and forwards. Click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page when you finish.

You can view your signature by composing a new message. If you selected a default, you should see your signature with the image at the bottom of the email. Otherwise, click the Insert Signature button and select the one you want to use.

Add an Image to the Current Email Signature

Maybe you don’t want an image in a saved signature. You can insert a photo in the signature of your current email. This is just like adding an image to the email body except you put it at the end and resize it.

Once you compose your email and add your closing, or signature, place your cursor after it where you want the image. Select the Insert Photo button at the bottom of the message.

Here, you have slightly different options for locating a photo. Choose the Photos, Albums, Upload, or Web Address tab. Locate the image and select “Inline” on the bottom right. Then, pick “Insert” on the left.

When the image appears in the message window, it displays at its original size. Select it and pick “Small.”

You can also make the image smaller or larger by dragging a corner or edge.

When you’re ready, send the email on its way.
