A signature is a bit of personalized text (such as your contact information or a favourite quote) that is automatically inserted at the bottom of every message you send. Nowadays it is a common for most people to add an email signature to the end of your emails. Unfortunately Gmail does not support adding a picture, logo, or html to your email signature, however you can add text and links to websites. Putting a picture into a Gmail signature is a daunting task as you will see in the tutorial below.

How to insert a picture, logo or a link to a website into your Gmail signature?

Unfortunately Gmail does not allow you to put html code, graphics, or rich text formatting into your signature, however I have found a way, but it is annoying.

The problem is that you can simple copy a logo off the internet by right clicking on the image and selecting copy, then you can paste it into your email, but who wants to do this every time you send an email. Another way is to do this and save the email as a draft, then use that draft to write your emails on.. No less than painful again!!!

One good thing is that if you do copy your logo from your webpage and it also links to your webpage, that link will work when you send the email to someone. So therefore you can copy any link off the internet and paste it into your email and it will work on the other end.
