I use Gmail to manage all of my email and recently started to want to have an image in my signature. Sounds simple enough right? Well unless you know what you’re looking for to get this to work than you will mostly become frustrated and annoyed by Gmail. Before it gets to that point, you hopefully stumbled upon lite-code via a search engine to find out how to do this.

It is very simple.

1. Goto the Labs icon (a little green beaker)
2. Enable “Canned Responses” & “Inserting Images”
3. Goto Compose Mail and Click the “Insert Image” icon on the tool bar above the content box.

** You have to make sure the image is on your computer, not a URL (for some reason I couldnt get it to work this way, but once it is uploaded to the Gmail server you can delete the image from your local computer.)

You will then start creating your signature with text in your Compose Mail content area. Once you have it how you would like it, you simply click on “Canned Responses” and click Save… Name it to something you will remember if you have more than one signature.

Now when ever you want to include it in an email you are sending, you simply click on “Canned Responses” and you will see the signature you saved and voila, it pops it in for you. Enjoy your new Gmail Signature!
