Gmail (web based) HTML email signature installation guide

Gmail has no HTML code field. You must copy the rendered signature from a browser and paste it into Gmail settings. Ensure you follow each step carefully.

How to install HTML email signature in the web-based version of Gmail

  1. 1Create your signature

    Create your email signature in Mirosign and save your design.

    To download your signature in Step 3, you need an active Mirosign subscription. If you have unsaved changes, save first — the download buttons stay disabled until your design is saved.

  2. 2Create a new blank signature in Gmail

    Log into Gmail.com on desktop.

    Click the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner.

    Select See all settings.

    On the General tab, scroll down to the Signature section, then:

  3. 3Copy your signature

    Return to Mirosign and click Download HTML.

    Do not use Copy HTML for Gmail. That button copies raw HTML code. Gmail needs the rendered signature copied from a browser.

    Open the downloaded HTML file in a browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

    Select the entire rendered signature with Ctrl+A (Windows) or Cmd+A (Mac), then copy with Ctrl+C or Cmd+C.

  5. Mobile Gmail

    A signature added in web Gmail usually syncs to the Gmail app on your phone, although it may appear smaller than on desktop. For app-specific setup, see our guides for Gmail on iPhone and Gmail on Android.

    Send yourself a test email from Gmail web and check the signature before rolling it out to your team.
