What is a Gmail Signature?
A Gmail signature is a string of text that can be automatically appended to the end of every Gmail message you send.
What is the Default Gmail Signature?
The default is no signature at all because in Gmail the signature option is turned off by default.
What Should I Include in my Signature?
People include many different things in their email signatures. You can use your first and last name, your first name only, your first initial and last name, or even your favorite nickname. Some people like to also include a favorite quote. Formal business signatures will typically include an employee's full name, title, company name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and company Web site.
Does My Signature Have to Appear in All of My Messages?
If the signature option is turned on, you signature will appear by default at the end of every message you compose, reply to, or forward, but you can always remove the signature before you actually send any message.
Can My Signature Appear on More Than One Line?
Yes it can. When you are following the instructions at the bottom of this page for creating your default Gmail signature, enter the signature text exactly the way you want it to appear at the end of your messages (on multiple lines if that is desirable).
Can My Gmail Signature Include an Image?
No. At the present time Gmail signatures can only include plain text.
Instructions for Adding a Gmail Signature
1. Log on to your Gmail Account.
2. Select "Settings" in the upper right corner of the page.
3. Enter your preferred signature text in the box next to the "Signature" option (typing text into that box will automatically turn on the signature option).
4. Select "Save Changes" to confirm your signature.
