Create an Email Signature in the Outlook Client (Win & Mac)

Overview

In Outlook, you can create one or more personalized signatures for your email messages. Your signature can include text, links, pictures, and images (such as your handwritten signature or a logo).

Important to Notes: 

  • If you use both the Outlook desktop client and Outlook on the web, you need to create a signature in both products.
  • We recommend designing your signature block in Word, and then copying and pasting it into Outlook per the instructions below.
