How to add, change or edit your signature in Gmail
Whether you want to add a signature or change the one you already have, Gmail makes it quick — on the web and in the mobile app. Create yours below, then paste it into Gmail's settings in a couple of clicks.
Create your signature image or HTML
For a quick handwritten look, create an image below. For a full block with your photo, title and links, use the Email Signature Generator and copy the HTML.
Open Gmail signature settings
Open Gmail, click the ⚙ gear → See all settings, and stay on the General tab. Scroll down to Signature.
The Signature block sits near the bottom of the General tab, just below Vacation responder. If you have no signature yet, you’ll see a single + Create new button instead of an editor.
Paste your signature
Click Create new, name it, then paste your copied HTML signature — or use the image button to insert your PNG. Gmail keeps the formatting from a pasted HTML block.
The editor is a small rich-text box with bold, italic, link and image (mountain) icons along the bottom. Pasted HTML keeps its table layout, photo and links; an inserted PNG appears inline and can be clicked to resize.
Set defaults and save
Under Signature defaults, select your new signature for FOR NEW EMAILS and ON REPLY/FORWARD, then scroll down and click Save Changes.
Frequently asked

On the Gmail website, click the ⚙ gear at the top right, choose See all settings, and stay on the General tab. Scroll down to the Signature section — it sits just below Vacation responder.
Gmail inserts images at full size. Resize the PNG before inserting, or download a smaller export from the Signature Maker. Around 400px wide works well for a signature.
Yes — copy the HTML from the Email Signature Generator and paste it into the Gmail signature box. Gmail renders the table-based HTML and keeps your layout, photo and links.
