Create your signatureRe: What it is
A logo in your email signature reinforces brand recognition with every message you send. It turns every email into a branding touchpoint — recipients see your company identity dozens of times per week, building familiarity and trust without any extra effort on your part.
Re: How it works
Step 1
Export your logo as a PNG with transparent background or SVG. Keep the file under 200KB and host it on a public HTTPS URL (e.g., your website, Cloudinary, or an image CDN).
Step 2
Go to BrandFooter's free email signature generator and choose a template that includes a logo placement area.
Step 3
Enter your hosted logo URL in the logo field. The live preview will show exactly how your logo appears in the signature. Adjust sizing if needed.
Step 4
Click 'Copy HTML' to copy your complete signature. Then paste it into your email client's signature settings (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.).

Re: Common questions
Common questions about a logo in email signatures.
Aim for 100-250px wide and 50-100px tall. This keeps the logo visible without overwhelming the signature. The file size should be under 200KB for fast loading across all email clients and devices.
PNG with a transparent background is the safest choice — it works across all major email clients including Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail. JPEG works too but doesn't support transparency. SVG offers the best quality but has limited support in Outlook desktop.
SVG works well in Gmail and Apple Mail, but Outlook desktop (which uses the Word rendering engine) doesn't support SVG images. For maximum compatibility across all clients, PNG is the recommended format.
The most common causes are: the image URL is not publicly accessible, the URL uses HTTP instead of HTTPS, the image file is too large, or the recipient's email client blocks external images by default. Verify your URL works in an incognito browser window.
Yes. Email clients don't support embedded or local file images reliably. Your logo must be hosted on a publicly accessible HTTPS URL so email clients can download and display it for every recipient.
Yes. Gmail fully supports images in signatures via HTTPS URLs. Create your signature with BrandFooter, copy the HTML, and paste it into Gmail's signature settings under Settings > See all settings > General > Signature.
