Best free email signature generator

Free email signature generator

Type your stuff in, and a mock email fills in as you go, so you see the signature where it’ll actually live. When it looks right, hit Copy signature and paste it into Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail.

What this email signature generator does

Email Dive’s free email signature generator turns your name, contact details, photo, and social links into an HTML email signature you can paste into Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and most other email apps. It runs in your browser, it costs nothing, and nothing you type gets sent to us.

It also handles a bunch of small, annoying stuff for you:

  • Lazy URLs. Type emaildive.com instead of https://emaildive.com, and it fills in the rest. Then it hides the https:// in the signature, because nobody needs to read that.
  • Booking links. Your Calendly or Cal.com link shows up as “Book a meeting” instead of a long URL with your name and a random string in it.
  • Clickable everything. Your email address, website, and social profiles all turn into real links.
  • One accent color, everywhere. Pick a color and your name, your links, and your icons all switch to it.

It also remembers you. Your details save in your browser as you type, so you can close the tab, come back tomorrow, and pick up where you left off. Hit Reset when you want a clean slate.

Is it really free? What’s the catch?

Yes, it’s free, and there’s no catch waiting for you at the end. No trial, no premium templates, no watermark, and no form asking for your work email before you’re allowed to copy anything.

Here’s the honest reason it exists. Email Dive reviews email marketing and sales software, and when you buy something through some of our links, we earn a commission. That’s how the site pays for itself. This tool isn’t that. There’s nothing to buy here and nothing we earn from it.

It’s here because everybody who reads this site needs a signature, and a lot of free signature generators either want your email address first or slip a little “Created with” badge into your signature. Which turns you into a tiny billboard for them, forever, in every email. No thanks.

If you like the tool, maybe you’ll read one of our reviews someday. If you don’t, you still got a signature. That’s the whole deal.

When a paid email signature tool makes sense

If it’s just you, or a handful of people who can each spend two minutes here, you don’t need to pay for anything. Seriously.

Paid tools start earning their price when you have a team. Somewhere past ten people, someone has to make sure every signature matches, has the right title, and got updated when the office moved. Doing that by Slack message is miserable. Tools like Exclaimer, CodeTwo, and WiseStamp manage signatures from one place, so one person changes the template and everybody’s signature follows.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It’s completely free, with no trial, no paid upgrade, and no watermark. Make as many signatures as you want.

No. There’s no sign-up and no email gate. Open the page, fill in the fields, copy your signature, and leave.

No. The signature you copy contains your details and your links. Nothing from us.

It works with Gmail, Outlook (new, classic, web, and Mac), Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and most other email apps that accept an HTML signature. The signature is built with tables and inline styles, which is the most widely supported way to write email HTML.

Paste a public link to an image that’s already online. The easiest way: find the photo or logo on your own website, right-click it, choose Copy image address, and paste that in. On WordPress, you can also upload it under Media and copy its File URL.

Avoid share links from Google Drive or Dropbox, because those point to a web page, not the image itself. LinkedIn photo links also tend to expire, so your face might quietly disappear from your signature a few weeks later. For a sharp result, use a square image at least 160 by 160 pixels. The signature shows it at 80 pixels, and the extra resolution keeps it crisp on high-resolution screens.

Copy signature copies the formatted version you see in the preview, ready to paste into Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. It also carries a plain-text version for apps that can’t handle formatting. Copy HTML copies the raw code, which you’ll want for Thunderbird, for sales tools and CRMs with an HTML signature field, or if you like to tinker.

Short enough that it’s never taller than the email above it. In practice, that’s four to six lines plus a row of icons.

Yes, one person at a time. Each person fills in their own details and copies their own signature. If you need one design pushed to everybody and updated from one place, you want a signature management tool instead.

You can build a signature on your phone. The preview moves to the top and the fields stack underneath. Getting it into a phone email app is the hard part, because many of them, including the Gmail app, only take plain-text signatures. Set it up on a computer if you can.
