A professional signature in four steps

From a blank form to your outbox — no design tools and no account.

  1. Add your details

    Name, role, company and the contacts that matter. Every field is optional — the signature is built from exactly what you fill in.

  2. Pick a template and style

    Twelve layouts, your brand color, font and text size. The preview reacts to every keystroke, on desktop and mobile.

  3. Copy your signature

    Hit “Use this signature” and it lands formatted on your clipboard — or as raw HTML if your client asks for code.

  4. Paste it into your email client

    Open the signature settings in Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail, paste and save. From then on, every email goes out signed.

What makes a good email signature

A few habits that keep your signature clean, on brand and readable everywhere it lands.

Keep it short

Three or four lines is plenty: name, role, company and one or two ways to reach you. A wall of links and disclaimers just gets skipped.

Use a hosted image

A photo or logo has to live at an https:// address to show up in email. A transparent PNG around 150 px wide looks crisp without weighing the message down.

One accent color

Pick a single color — ideally your brand color — for links and dividers. Two or three competing colors make a signature look busy, not polished.

Link what matters

Send people somewhere useful: your website, LinkedIn or a booking page. Drop the social icons you never post on so the ones that count stand out.

Think mobile

More than half of emails are opened on a phone. Stick to a single column and readable text — multi-column layouts break on narrow screens.

Skip the quote graveyard

Inspirational quotes, “save the planet” lines and giant legal disclaimers age fast and clutter every reply. Leave them out and let the essentials breathe.

Frequently asked questions

What is an email signature generator?

An email signature generator turns your name, role and contact details into a formatted block of HTML that you paste at the bottom of every email. You fill in a short form, pick a template, and copy the result straight into Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail — no design skills or code required.

Is it really free?

Yes — it is free with no sign-up, no account and no paywall. You can generate as many signatures as you like and copy them without giving us an email address. The only addition is a small “Sign with Signater” line, and you can remove it with a single checkbox, also free of charge.

How do I add the signature in Gmail?

  1. Click Use this signature above and then Copy signature.
  2. In Gmail, open the gear icon in the top right and choose See all settings.
  3. On the General tab, scroll to Signature and click Create new (or select an existing one).
  4. Click inside the box and paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V — the formatting comes with it.
  5. Under Signature defaults, set it for new emails and replies, then scroll down and click Save changes.

How do I add it in Outlook?

  1. Click Use this signature and copy your signature.
  2. In new Outlook or Outlook on the web, open Settings (the gear icon) and go to Accounts → Signatures (in some builds it is Mail → Compose and reply).
  3. Click New signature, give it a name and paste into the editor with Ctrl+V.
  4. Choose it as the default for new messages and replies/forwards.
  5. Click Save. In classic desktop Outlook the path is File → Options → Mail → Signatures.

How do I add it in Apple Mail?

  1. Copy your signature first.
  2. In Mail, choose Mail → Settings from the menu bar (or press ⌘,).
  3. Open the Signatures tab and select your account on the left.
  4. Click the + button, then uncheck “Always match my default message font” so the formatting is kept.
  5. Paste your signature with ⌘V, then pick it under Choose Signature for that account.

Why isn't my photo or logo showing?

Email clients can only display images that are already online, so you paste the web address of an image rather than uploading a file. Open the image in your browser first: if the address starts with https:// and the picture loads on its own, it will work in the signature. An http:// address without the “s” is blocked as insecure by most clients, and a link to a page — instead of to the image itself — shows a broken icon. Host the image on your own website or a dedicated image host, then copy that direct link into the fields on the Images tab.

Will the signature survive dark mode?

Mostly. The signature is built with email-safe tables and neutral colors that hold up in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail, including their dark modes. Some clients invert light backgrounds automatically, so a logo saved as a transparent PNG looks cleaner than one with a solid white box behind it. There is no rule every client follows, so send yourself a test email and check it in both light and dark mode before you rely on it.

Can I remove the “Sign with Signater” line?

Yes. Untick the “Include a small ‘Sign with Signater’ link” checkbox on the Style tab and the line disappears from everything you copy. It costs nothing and needs no account — it is on by default only as a small thank-you for a free tool.

Why does the signature use tables and inline styles?

Email clients are far stricter than web browsers: many ignore external stylesheets, <div> layouts and modern CSS like flexbox or grid. Tables with inline styles are the one approach that renders consistently from Outlook to Gmail to Apple Mail, which is why every reliable signature — including the ones this tool produces — is built that way. It looks dated under the hood, but it is what keeps your signature intact when it lands in someone else's inbox.

Beyond email

Your documents deserve a signature too

A signature at the bottom of an email is a nice touch. A signature on a contract is legally binding. Signater lets you send documents for electronic signature, validate every signer's identity and close deals with a certificate of completion — all in minutes.
