How to Setup an email signature in Outlook

Note: If you use Outlook on a web browser, Outlook on your smartphone, and/or the Outlook desktop program, you’ll need to create a signature in each. To create and use email signatures in Outlook on the web, see Create and add an email signature in Outlook.com or Outlook on the web.

To create your signature and choose when Outlook adds a signature to your messages follow the instructions below:

  • Open a new email message.
  • On the Message tab, in the Include group, choose Signature > Signatures.
  • Under Select signature to edit, choose New, and in the New Signature dialog box, type a name for the signature.
  • Under Edit signature, type the signature.
  • Under Choose default signature, set the following options for your signature:
  • In the E-mail account list, choose an email account to associate with the signature. You can have different signatures for each email account.
  • In the New messages list, choose the signature that you want to be added automatically to all new email messages. If you don’t want to automatically add a signature to new messages, choose (none).
  • In the Replies/forwards list, choose the signature that you want to be added automatically (auto sign) when you reply to or forward messages. Otherwise, accept the default option of (none).
  • Choose OK to save your new signature and return to your message. Outlook doesn’t add your new signature to the message you opened in Step 1, even if you chose to apply the signature to all new messages. You’ll have to add the signature manually to this one message. To add the signature manually, select Signature and then pick the signature you just created.

To add a logo or image to your signature follow the instructions below:

  • Open a new message and then select Signature > Signatures.
  • In the Select signature to edit box, choose the signature you want to add a logo or image to.
  • Select the Image icon shown below:
  • Locate your image file, and select Insert.
  • To resize your image, right-click the image, then choose Picture. Select the Size tab and use the options to resize your image. To keep the image proportions, make sure to keep the Lock aspect ratio checkbox checked.
  • When you’re done, select OK, then select OK again to save the changes to your signature.
