How to Add an Image to Gmail Signature (Step-by-Step Guide)

Adding an image to the signature is the best way to personalize an email. It adds a distinctive and eye-catching element to your signature.

In Gmail, you can add an image of your handwritten signature, a logo, or your visiting card details in the image signature. You can even insert an image of your QR code containing your details or hyperlinked images in the signature to make it more informative.

The Gmail Mobile App doesn’t have the capability to add an image signature, so you will need to use your PC or a web browser.

4. Give a name to that signature and select Create. 
   
5. An edit box appears. Click the Image icon.
   
6. On the Add an Image dialog, choose a location if you want to upload an image from the Web Address, My Drive, or Device and upload the image.

7. Scroll to the end of the page and select Save Changes.
