In this video, I'll show you how to create a professional HTML email signature for free in under 5 minutes using a well-known email signature tool called Gimmio: bit.ly/2FOS2rZ
I also explain why it's a bad idea to create your email signature using traditional methods such as Photoshop, Microsoft Word, and also creating it directly in your email client.

Finally, an email signature platform with reasonable pricing. Thank you.

[@cheekymescalito3249]

I've been asked a few times to make email signatures. First thing I did I implemented them in HTML/CSS. But after copying and pasting such template into MS Outlook, they didn't work. However, the same worked well for Apple Mail. The solution was to use MS Word for creating email templates and then copying from MS Word. It works in Apple Mail and MS Outlook very well.

[@cheekymescalito3249]

@ByteParser it works for email templates, but not for email signatures unfortunately.

[@muzikmyke3008]

Yes. Word works just fine for doing this. MS themselves have templates available that are in Word format. Furthermore, a lot of email clients block the loading of html and remote images for security reasons. This video reeks of switcharoosales.

Just created a signature but when I've copy and pasted into outlook all the things you said are no goes like being able to click the logo are able to be clicked!

[@Gimmio]

Hi there, generally in Outlook, links cannot be clicked when an email is being composed. However, once the email has been sent and is received/viewed by the other party, the links will be clickable. This is unfortunately how Outlook functions in regards to links.

[@muhammadanas5922]

Hi, thank you for the tutorial. We were able to create a signature with the free templates but it is not exactly the same. For example, the bar between the picture and text is not showing up (we are using the free trial). We are using Chrome as recommended, do we need to pay in order for it to work properly? Many thanks, Sandra.

[@Gimmio]

Hi Sandra, Thanks for your message. The free version works in a very similar way to the paid version. You definitely don't need to pay for the signature to work correctly. Which email client/device were you installing the signature onto? If you want, feel free to email our support team at [e-mail] with a few screenshots and we will be happy to help you out.

[@Gimmio]

Hi Jakob, thanks for your message. Yes, if you have an iPhone, the Gmail app can support signatures. If you're on Android, unfortunately, the app doesn't support signatures. Please see installation guides here: iOS: blog.gimm.io/add-email-signature-gmail-ios/ Android: blog.gimm.io/add-email-signature-gmail-android/

[@KarePassion]

It kinda blows chunks when you tell someone that something is free except that you have to pay for it!

[@Gimmio]

It is completely free if you want to use one of our 45+ templates which were professionally designed. It only costs if you want to start creating a completely customized signature with different colors, fonts, etc than what is already in the templates.

[@jeniferjaxs3334]

[@hassangill2732]

I uploaded image on GDrive and inserted the shareable link but it did not download the image.

[@Gimmio]

Hi Hassan, When using websites such as Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive for image hosting, when you get the shareable link, it doesn't provide the image in a traditional way where another application will be able to use the image. In order to get the hosted image to work, you will need to get a link for the image which has the image's extension in it. For example: www.example.com/image.png Hope this helps.

Is this email signature can be used for all email services or there will be separate signatures for yahoo, Gmail, applemail etc. Single can be used or different?? Kindly reply me Sir!

[@taddehvartanians2058]

Hi i just bought this. Great! However I can't install it on my icloud. When I copy and paste the signature it just comes as text. I mean the icloud on web browser and not apple mail with the eagle logo, which works fine.

[@Gimmio]

Hi Taddeh, Unfortunately, iCloud does not support HTML email signatures. It only supports text-based email signatures which is why the signature is getting converted to text when you paste it in. There isn't much you can do about this other than maybe make a feature suggestion to Apple to allow HTML signatures in iCloud.

what is the difference between email signature and html email signature

[@Retr0Geek]

I was trying to purchase a signature but i noticed you don't have a PayPal option at checkout...why is that?

[@Gimmio]

Hi Kevin, We use Stripe as our payment processor, instead of Paypal. Since Gimmio is a SaaS business, we need the ability to charge some customers on a recurring basis (monthly/yearly subscriptions). Unfortunately, Paypal's recurring payment model is not as good as Stripe's, hence why we opted to use Stripe over Paypal. Hope that helps.

[@romadavydiuk2595]

[@NMpar]

Why the signature doesn t work on outlook? ( images are missing and are replaced with white boxes with X icons)

[@Gimmio]

Hi Nasia, If the images are marked with an X icon in Outlook, this would indicate that Outlook is blocking the download of the images. Take a look here for more info about this: blog.gimm.io/how-to-fix-images-not-downloading-automatically-in-outlook/

[@NMpar]

@@Gimmio is there anything i can do from my side as a sender so people using outlook can see my signature as it is?

[@Gimmio]

@@NMpar Unfortunately not. It is standard Outlook behavior not to download images automatically. Although you can change it for your own Outlook, you cannot change it for everyone else's Outlook who you send emails to. There are a few email clients who behave in the same way, and it is basically a security feature (to prevent spam). Hope this helps.

will the signature work in My Webmail?

[@Gimmio]

Hi, It depends on which webmail you're using as there are many different types. However, Gimmio is compatible with most modern versions of webmail, so it should work correctly. You could always test it out using the free (logged out) version of Gimmio first.

sir, if we generate an email signature (in html/msword) without an email signature generator, where we save images like client logo, twitter logo, Linkedin logo .. for the client.... can we take his gmail account password and save on his google drive.. may be he will not give password to us.. then where host images.

[@Gimmio]

Hi Aftab, If you create your own email signatures using HTML, you would need to host the images on a web server, and then use the link for the image in the signature. That way, when someone receives the signature as part of an email, the email client will be able to download the image from the web server automatically. Hope this helps.

[@danielayoub6890]

Thank you! Helpful and informative

[@VaibhavShewale]

seems fancy

[@lenaeggler6304]

It's first of all not free you just have a free 7-day trial and second of all, it doesn't show the photo within the signature at all, not to the sender, nor the receiver. Quite disappointing.

[@Gimmio]

Hello there, thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Let me clarify a few things that might help: Firstly, while there is indeed a 7-day free trial for our premium features, you can continue using the basic features of the application absolutely for free. No account signup is required for this. Secondly, concerning the issue with the photos in the signature, the photos do show up when sending. The visibility of the photos for the recipient, however, can depend on the settings of their email client. For instance, in Outlook, the default setting blocks photos in emails from being automatically downloaded. This is a security measure to protect users from potentially harmful content. The recipient can change these settings to allow photos to be shown, but that's something out of our control. We really appreciate your feedback and we're constantly working on improving our app. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. We're here to help!

[@ajeesh3485]

is creating in word processor that bad?

[@alexcarter857]

Can you implement purchased fonts into the signature?

[@Gimmio]

Hi Alex, Unfortunately, you are not able to install purchased font's into the signature. The only usable fonts are the ones listed in the generator. However, we always advise people to stick with web-safe fonts as they are the ones that are commonly installed across all devices. If you use a non web-safe font, chances are, the recipient doesn't have that custom font installed on their computer, which means they would see a fallback font (similar web safe font) on the signature anyway. So, it's always best to use the common web-safe fonts for your signature. You can read more about this here: blog.gimm.io/what-are-the-best-fonts-for-email-signatures/

[@serendraoffice7357]

can you use it on mobile phones?

[@Gimmio]

Hi, Yes, you can use our signatures on most email apps on mobile phones. However, some email apps such as Outlook for Android do not support HTML email signatures. However, Outlook for iOS (iPhone) does. It all depends on which email app you want to use on your mobile phone. Most do support HTML signatures, though.

[@heathhamlin2144]

What size portrait should I use?

[@Gimmio]

Hi Heath, you can rescale the image size in Gimmio. So, if you upload an image that is slightly bigger, you can adjust it to be smaller. I would upload an image that is maybe 3-4 times bigger than what you require, and then scale it down from there. That way, if you use your signature on a device that upscales images, the resolution of the image will still look good.
