How to add an image to your Gmail signature on mobile

Unfortunately, the Gmail mobile app only allows for plain text signatures. To add an image, you'll need to use Gmail on a desktop. The same applies if you want an HTML signature in Gmail.

Tips for creating a Gmail mobile signature

  • Keep it simple: Your signature should contain only necessary information, such as your name, job title, and contact information.

  • Use a clean, readable font: Avoid using multiple fonts or colors that can make it look cluttered and unprofessional.

  • Make it concise and professional: Use no more than 3-4 lines of text.

  • Use proper formatting: Make sure to use line breaks and spacing to separate different elements of your signature. This will make it easier to read and visually appealing.

  • Add a call-to-action: Including a link to your website or social media profiles can be an effective way to promote yourself or your business.

  • Test it out: Before finalizing your signature, send a test email to yourself and others to make sure it looks good and all links are working properly.

Troubleshooting issues with Gmail mobile signatures

  • Gmail signature too long error: If the signature you're trying to add is longer than 10,000 characters, you'll receive an error message. Try shortening it and checking again.

  • Gmail mobile signature not showing up: Check that the Mobile signature option is enabled in your Gmail settings. If it still doesn't work, try signing out and back into your account.

  • Signature overlapping with email content: This can happen if you have multiple line breaks or excessive spacing in your signature. Try reducing them to see if it helps.

  • Auto-correct changing formatting: Some auto-correct features may change the format of your signature. Make sure to turn off any auto-correct options that may affect the appearance of your signature.
