Re: What to include

What belongs in a freelancer signature

The right details make your signature useful without being cluttered.

Use your full name
Always include your first and last name so recipients can identify you immediately.
Add your job title
Your exact title adds context and credibility to every email you send.
Include a phone number
A direct phone number makes it easy for clients or colleagues to reach you quickly.
Keep it concise
Aim for 4–6 lines. More than that and your signature becomes a distraction.
Add a company logo
A logo makes your signature look polished and reinforces your brand with every email.

Re: Common questions

What should a Freelancer include in their email signature?+

Include your full name, job title, company or organization, email address, and phone number. Add a professional headshot or company logo if your email client supports it.

How long should a Freelancer email signature be?+

Three to five lines is ideal. Include the essentials — name, title, contact — without overwhelming the recipient.

Should a Freelancer use HTML email signatures?+

Yes. HTML signatures let you include logos, formatted text, and clickable links. Use a tool like BrandFooter to generate table-based HTML that works in Gmail and Outlook.

How do I add an email signature as a Freelancer?+

Create your signature with BrandFooter, copy the HTML, and paste it into your email client settings. Works in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and Thunderbird.

Can I use the same email signature across all devices?+

Yes, but you may need to set it up separately on each device. Copy your BrandFooter HTML signature and add it to Gmail web, Outlook desktop, and your mobile email client.
