Signguin

Outlook signature generator

Classic Outlook for Windows renders email with Microsoft Word's engine, which breaks a lot of modern code. Our signatures are built with tables and inline styles so they keep their layout in every version of Outlook.

Built for Outlook

Holds together in classic Outlook

Tables and inline styles, so Outlook for Windows, which renders email with Word, keeps your columns in place.

Icons older Outlook versions show

Social icons are PNG files in your brand color, because older Outlook versions don't show SVG.

Logo hosted at a fixed size

Your logo is hosted online at a fixed width and stored at 2x, so Outlook can't blow it up to full size.

Round photos stay round

With Premium, the round shape is cut into the photo file itself, so classic Outlook can't turn it square.

Dark logos stay visible

Turn on White box behind logo. The tile is part of the hosted image, so dark mode can't darken it.

Why signatures break in Outlook

Classic Outlook for Windows ignores a lot of modern CSS: no flexbox, no background images, limited support for rounded corners and margins. Fonts that aren't installed on the reader's computer are replaced. Images without a fixed width can show at their full size. A good Outlook signature therefore uses tables for layout, puts every style inline, uses system fonts like Arial or Georgia and gives every image a fixed width, which is how our generator builds them. If your signature still goes missing, see Outlook signature not showing.

Every email, dressed to impress.

FAQ

Can you install the signature into Outlook automatically?

Not safely today. Microsoft doesn't offer a public API for apps to set a user's Outlook signature; only admins can do it for a whole company. Copy and paste takes under a minute and works in every version.

Why do I see extra spacing in Outlook?

That happens with signatures made of paragraphs and margins. Ours use table cells with fixed padding, which Outlook respects.

My logo shows as an attachment. Why?

That happens when the image is embedded in the email instead of linked. Our images are hosted online, so Outlook shows them inline. If you still see a red X, click "Download pictures": Outlook blocks images from new senders by default.

Do I need to set it up again on my phone?

Yes. Outlook for iPhone and Android has its own signature setting under Settings → Signature. It only supports simple formatting. Steps for iPhone and Android: signature in the Outlook app.
