How to Add an Image or Graphic to your Signature in Outlook

Your signature is also important because it represents you and thus sends a strong promotional and professional message. Because images convey meaning more richly and quickly, why not add an animation or graphic to your signature to personalize it? Or maybe you just like to mess around and that could be a fun option for you? In any case, this article will walk you through the process of adding a graphic or image to your signature.

How to Add an Image to Your Signature Step-by-Step

 The steps below apply to Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and Outlook for Microsoft 365.

Step 1: Open Outlook and go to the file tab.

Step 2: Select “Options”.

Step 3: Select “Mail” in the dialog box.

Step 4: Select “Signatures” in the “Compose Messages” section.

Step 5: Select “New” in the e-mail and signature tab.

Note: If you want to add a graphic or image to an already existing signature, select the    

             corresponding signature and jump directly to Step 8.

Step 6: Enter a descriptive name in the new signature dialog box and select “OK”.

Step 7: Select the signature you want to edit in the signature and stationary dialog box and enter the text you want to include in the “Edit Signature” section.

Step 8: Position your cursor where you want to insert your graphic or image. In the formatting toolbar, select “Insert Picture”. Keep in mind that an added image increases the message size. Thus, it is recommended to select an image with less than 200KB.

Step 9: Select “OK”.
