How to Add an HTML Signature in Apple Mail

Apple Mail does not offer an HTML editor, but pasting a ready-made signature works if you create a placeholder first. Create yours with the free email signature generator and click Copy signature.

On Mac (macOS Mail)

  1. Open Mail → Settings → Signatures.
  2. Select your account, click + and type any placeholder text (e.g. “sig”).
  3. Click into the preview area, select the placeholder text, and paste your copied signature over it.
  4. Untick “Always match my default message font” so the signature keeps its own styling.
  5. Set “Choose signature” to your new signature and close Settings. Compose a test email to verify.

On iPhone / iPad

  1. Email the signature to yourself and open it in Mail on the iPhone.
  2. Long-press to select the signature, Copy.
  3. Go to Settings → Mail → Signature, paste — then shake the phone and tap Undo if iOS strips the formatting (this restores it).
Photo missing? Images must come from a public URL. If you used a local file path it will not travel with the email — host the image on your website and use that URL in the generator.
