Hello readers. This article gives you information on how to add a signature to Gmail. In the first place, Let me tell you that Gmail Signature is not rocket science. Also, you don't even need an extra tool for that. Because the method I am going to tell you is doesn't require any kind of extra hardware. In other words, You need to upload a photo of your signature to Gmail.
Remember that Once you have added a signature to Gmail, It will appear in all the email then onwards sent to others. Furthermore, The signature means not only the image but the text also. In other words, Gmail allows you to add text as a signature apart from Image. Moreover, It's up to you whether you want to add text or image alone or the combination of both. But, I recommend you to use the combination of both Image and Texts. So, Let's get started step by step.
Make signature on any blank paper
First, You need a pen and a paper to make a signature. So, arrange it and then draw a signature on it. Also makes sure that the paper on which you're going to draw a signature is white. Notwithstanding, You can use the paper of any color but make sure that the signature is easily distinguishable by human eyes. Also, see the below picture to get an idea of what you have to.
Capture the signature with your phone's camera
In this step, Capture the signature you made fresh with your phone's camera and transfer it to your laptop. Also, make sure that signature is not blurry.
Open a web browser and go to 'https://remove.bg'
Open the web browser then click here to open the REMOVEBG's website from where you're going to remove the background.
Upload the signature
Here, You don't have to make an account on it. So don't worry and upload the image that contains the signature. After, Wait till it completely uploaded. Furthermore, After uploading it immediately start the process.
Wait for the process to complete
REMOVEBG will initiate the process to remove the background from the uploaded image after the image uploading completes.
Download the signature
Now, Download the signature by clicking on the 'Download' button. As a result, Your signature will be downloaded in your Download folder.
Open Gmail Settings
Click here to open Gmail Settings directly from here. Gmail Settings contains variety of section which allows you to enhance your Gmail feature or may work as an aid to better experience.
Navigate to the Signature section at the bottom
Scroll down to the bottom and navigate to the Signature section. This is the section from where you can add a signature to Gmail.
Create a Signature for Gmail
In this step, You are going to create a signature.
Step-1: Provide a signature name
In this step click on the 'Create new' button. Consequently, You will be prompted to enter the signature name. So, Enter the name of the signature. Furthermore, A signature name is used to distinguish between two or more signatures.
Step-2: Upload the signature image
In this step, You are going to upload the image of signature. For that, Click on the image icon to upload the signature. Also, see the below image to locate the image button.
By clicking on the image icon, It will ask you to upload the image via direct upload, Upload from Google Drive, or Paste the URL of the image. Hence, In your case choose the direct upload and select the file from your computer to upload it. Also, See the following image to locate the direct upload option.
Step-3: Resize the signature
In this step, You are going to resize the signature. As you can see the image of signature you have uploaded is sol large that crossed the boundary. Hence, It is mandatory to resize to a small or medium scale. But, For a better experience of signature, I recommend you to resize it to a medium scale. To resize it, click on the image then select the 'Medium' from the scale-panel opened at the bottom of the image.
See the below image where you will find that the signature is resized to medium scale. Furthermore, Gmail allows you to change the way of the usage of signature in Gmail. In other words, Gmail gives you full control over the signature usage in the following cases.
- For New Email
- For Reply/Forward of Email
As stated above, You can use any signature for either case. Moreover, If you don't want the signature in either case then select 'No signature' to that particular. Furthermore, I recommend you use a signature for New Email and don't use it for the reply and/or forward.
Below the signature control, You will find the checkbox which allows you to add the line '--' before the signature. And, I also recommend to check this checkbox as it will separate you message and signature.
Step-4: Save the signature
In this step, You're going to save the Gmail signature. For this purpose, Scroll down to the bottom, locate the 'Save Changes' button, and then press it. Thus way, Your signature will be saved. Now, it's time to test it.
