Step-by-step instructions for iOS Mail app and macOS Apple Mail. Set up plain text or HTML signatures with logos and brand colors.
Go to Settings > Apps > Mail (on iOS 18+) or Settings > Mail (on earlier versions).
Scroll down and tap 'Signature'. You'll see signature fields for each email account on your device.
Type or paste your signature text. iOS Mail supports basic formatting but not full HTML. For plain text, just enter your name, title, phone, and email.
For a rich HTML signature with logos: (1) Create your signature in BrandFooter's generator, (2) Email the HTML to yourself, (3) Open it in Safari and select all, (4) Copy and paste it into the Mail signature field. This preserves HTML formatting.
Open Apple Mail, go to Mail > Settings (or Preferences on older macOS), then click the 'Signatures' tab.
Select your email account on the left, then click the + button to add a new signature.
For rich HTML signatures: create your signature in BrandFooter, click 'Copy HTML', then paste it directly into the Apple Mail signature editor. Apple Mail handles HTML paste well.
Select your new signature from the 'Choose Signature' dropdown for the account. You can also choose 'Randomly' or 'In Sequential Order' if you have multiple signatures.
