How to Add a Signature in Gmail?

9. You can also add a photo of yourself or your company’s logo to your signature. To add an image, click on the image icon in the toolbar and upload your image.

You can create the image itself with our handwritten signature generator — the PNG is exported at high resolution so it stays sharp on retina screens, and there is an animated version that writes itself out. Most email clients strip the animation and show the finished signature instead, so treat that as the fallback.
