What's included

Everything a professional signature needs

One payment unlocks everything. No tiers, no limits, no upsells.

Profile photo & company logo

Add your headshot and company logo via URL. The tool auto-suggests an accent colour from your photo. Renders correctly across all major email clients.

Brand colours & fonts

12 colour presets, a custom hex input, and a colour picker. Gmail-safe font selector — no web font fallback surprises in Outlook.

Social media links

LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok. Display as coloured icons or plain text. Uses your accent colour automatically.

Booking / CTA link

Add a Calendly, TidyCal, or any scheduling link with custom button text. Turns your email footer into a passive lead generator.

Promotional banner

Add a text or image banner below your signature with custom background and text colours. Great for launches, offers, or upcoming events.

Legal disclaimer

Four built-in presets: NDA notice, financial advice disclaimer, confidentiality notice, and environmental footnote. Or write your own.

Who it's for

If you send emails professionally,
this is for you

💼

Freelancers & consultants

Turn your email footer into a business card. A Calendly link alone can generate more bookings than a cold email sequence.

🏢

Small business owners

Look as polished as the agencies you're competing with — without paying agency rates or using "Made with Mailchimp" branding.

👩‍💻

Marketing & sales professionals

Every email you send is a brand touchpoint. Your signature should carry your brand the same way your website does.

🎓

Job seekers & graduates

A professional email signature signals that you take yourself seriously — before the hiring manager has read a word of your message.

Plain text vs HTML

Why your email signature needs to be HTML

Most people type their signature directly into their email client. Here's why that approach is quietly holding you back.

❌ Plain text signatures

  • No profile photo — just text where a face should be
  • No logo — your brand is absent from every email
  • No clickable social icons — just raw URLs that look messy
  • No accent colours — everything looks the same
  • No booking button — people have to go find your calendar link themselves
  • Looks identical whether you're a solo freelancer or a Fortune 500

✓ HTML email signatures

  • Profile photo makes you recognisable and human
  • Company logo reinforces brand on every single email
  • Clickable social icons look clean and professional
  • Brand colours carry your visual identity into every inbox
  • One-click booking links reduce friction for prospects
  • Looks intentional, polished, and built by someone who cares

Why you can't just write HTML in your email client

Gmail and Outlook's signature editors accept pasted HTML — but only when you paste a rich-text version, not raw code. The tricky part is getting the HTML right: email clients don't support CSS stylesheets, flexbox, grid, or most modern layout techniques. Everything needs to be table-based HTML with inline CSS.

Send Like a Pro generates signature HTML that's been battle-tested across Gmail, Outlook (Windows and Mac), Apple Mail, and mobile email apps. You don't need to know what a colspan is. You just paste and go.

A note on Outlook for Windows

Outlook for Windows (especially older versions using Word as the rendering engine) is the most restrictive email client on the market. It ignores many standard CSS properties that work fine everywhere else. Send Like a Pro's HTML is specifically written to avoid those pitfalls — no flexbox, no CSS grid, no border-radius that Outlook will silently strip. What you build here will render acceptably in Outlook, even if it isn't pixel-perfect.

The complete guide

What makes an email signature actually work

The elements that matter most

A professional email signature doesn't need to include everything — it needs to include the right things. Here's what earns its place:

  • Your full name — obvious, but surprisingly often abbreviated or missing.
  • Job title — sets context immediately. "Senior Product Designer at Acme" tells a recipient more than a name alone.
  • One primary contact method — usually email (which is already in the header) or phone. Don't list three phone numbers.
  • Company name and website — reinforces legitimacy, especially when emailing someone for the first time.
  • A profile photo — the research on this is consistent: emails with a real face attached are perceived as more trustworthy and more likely to get a response. This is especially valuable for anyone in sales, recruiting, or client-facing roles.
  • One or two social links — LinkedIn almost always. A second one if it's professionally relevant (a designer might include Dribbble; a creator, YouTube).

What to leave out

Longer isn't better. A signature that runs six lines of contact details, five social icons, a legal disclaimer, and a promotional banner in every email becomes visual noise that recipients learn to skip entirely.

  • Every phone number you own — pick one. Mobile is usually the right choice.
  • Your email address — recipients can see it in the header. Repeating it wastes space.
  • Motivational quotes — they don't make you seem wise; they make you seem like you're trying to seem wise.
  • Banners for every email — promotional banners work best when they're occasional and genuinely relevant to the recipient.
  • Legal disclaimers in casual emails — a heavy confidentiality notice in a reply to a scheduling request is over-engineered. Use disclaimers only when appropriate for the email type or required by your employer.

Sizing and image quality

Profile photos work best at a 1:1 (square) ratio. The signature renders them at 80px, but you should use an image that's at least 200×200px so it looks sharp on Retina and high-DPI displays. The same principle applies to logos: always upload at 2× the display size.

All images must be hosted at a public URL. They're loaded by the recipient's email client at the time the email is opened — not embedded in the email itself. Images behind a login screen (Google Drive, Dropbox, private servers) will not render for recipients.

Brand consistency

Your accent colour should match your primary brand colour exactly. If you have a brand guide, open it and copy the hex code. If you're building a personal brand, pick a colour you'll use consistently across your website, social profiles, and any documents you send.

Font choice matters less than you'd think — any of the Gmail-safe options look professional. Arial is the most universally rendered. Georgia adds a slightly warmer, editorial feel. Stick with one font and don't mix sizes beyond the built-in hierarchy.

Updating your signature

Your signature data is saved to your browser's localStorage — meaning it persists across sessions on the same device and browser. If you change roles, update your website, or rebrand, just open the generator, make your changes, and pay $8 for a new download. The previous version is still yours — the payment buys you access to the current state of your form.

Using the booking link effectively

If you take client calls, discovery calls, or consultations, a Calendly link in your email signature is one of the highest-leverage things you can do. It removes the back-and-forth scheduling friction entirely. The key is the button text: "Book a 30-min call" converts better than a raw URL or a generic "Click here".

FAQ

Common questions about the email signature generator

Do I have to pay to try it?

No — building and previewing is completely free. You can fill in every field, customise every detail, and see exactly what your signature will look like before paying a penny. Payment is only required when you want to copy or download the HTML. No time limit, no feature gating.

What happens if I want to change my signature later?

Your form data is saved automatically in your browser's localStorage. Open the generator on the same device and browser, and your previous inputs will still be there. Make your changes, preview them, and pay another $8 to download the updated version. There's no subscription — each download is a one-time purchase.

Does it work with Gmail on mobile?

Gmail on iOS and Android supports HTML signatures. To set up your signature on the mobile app: open the Gmail app → tap the menu → Settings → select your account → Signature settings → Mobile Signature. Paste your signature there. Note that the Gmail mobile app's paste function may strip some HTML — for best results, set your signature in Gmail web (desktop) and it will sync across devices.

Can I use my own images?

Yes — as long as they're hosted at a public URL. Email clients load images from URLs at the time the email is opened, so the image needs to be accessible without a login. Your own website, Imgur, GitHub (raw content URL), or Cloudinary all work well. Google Drive and Dropbox sharing links do not work reliably because those services block image hotlinking.

Will my signature include any advertising or branding?

No. There is no "Made with Send Like a Pro" or any other watermark on your signature. It's entirely yours. This is one of the reasons we charge $8 — a one-time fee is a cleaner model than the free-with-watermark approach used by some other generators.

What email clients does the HTML work with?

The HTML is tested against Gmail (web and app), Outlook (web, Mac, and Windows desktop), Apple Mail, and Yahoo Mail. The signature uses table-based HTML with inline CSS — the standard approach for maximum email client compatibility. Outlook for Windows is the most restrictive client, and the generator's HTML specifically avoids CSS properties that Outlook ignores or distorts.

How is this different from free email signature generators?

Most free generators add a watermark or link to their own website in your signature. Some limit features to push you toward a paid plan. Send Like a Pro is a one-time payment for a clean, watermark-free signature — no subscription, no hidden upsells, no branding added to your emails. You also get a copy of the HTML file, so you're never locked in.

Is my personal data safe?

Your form data (name, contact details, photo URL) is stored only in your browser's localStorage — it never leaves your device unless you explicitly download or copy the HTML. We don't have a database of user signatures. Payment is processed entirely through Stripe; we never see your card details.
