Learn how to design a custom email signature that matches your branding and links to your website and social media with this quick design tutorial!
This is the best Gmail Signature education on the web. Thank you so much Mariah. I was having the hardest time getting my image to save. You fixed the problem. Your the BEST!!!
this video is an oldie but a goodie answered the question to a problem im an Realtor in Houston Texas and wanted to make my emails come off a little more professional thanks for the tip
This is seriously the BEST. Thank you! I'm LOVIN my new signature! I wanted to just note incase anyone else has this issue that for some wonky reason when I used the slice tool it said there was say "5 slices" but it actually did 6 slices when it was exported. I ended up uploading that extra random "slice/image" because I thought it would mess things up if not. But it actually misaligned everything when I sent the emails out. I simply went back and deleted it and all was find and dandy!
I'm so glad!!! I love that I'm able to help! And thanks for sharing your feedback for others. I apprecaite you!
Thank you very much for this tutorial,
But I have a question, I would like to know what were the dimensions you used for the signature, so that the images kept the same dimensions when uploaded and did not enlarge when sent.
Thank you! Best video tutorial on TH-cam that actually uses Illustrator instead of word or google docs or whatever and has clickable links! And the nicest design as well in my opinion! Thanks again!
Thanks, Sam!
Thank you Mariah, You are great! So concise and strait to the point! In my case it works perfectly, just struggled a bit with the dimensions. Actually, the entire design suppose not to be bigger then 300px x 300px and then it works just perfectly, keeping the original size of the embedded coded images.
Appreciate the tutorial but leaving out how to export files properly is probably the most crucial part to this process.
how do i export the sliced image?
Go to file>export>save for web(legacy)>Select all the slices> export to folder. (FINISHED)
Go to file>export>save for web(legacy)>Select all the slices> export to folder. (FINISHED)
I have been the hole morning trying with different tutorials and this one is the only one that has worked for me, thank you!!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad I could help!!
How did your logo post crisp and clean? I followed all these steps and my image signature is posting really pixelated.
This is brilliant, but you donàt actually explain how to use the slice tool and export it... Thanks.
Yes Mariah, would appreciate you actually going through the specifics of how to use the tools and how to save. Going through these basic steps makes this more accessible for someone not super familiar with these platforms and prevents frustration and runaround to try and figure out elsewhere. Otherwise an excellent tutorial, and love your teaching style - would watch even more if there were more specifics (including how to design within illustrator!).
Hey Mariah, This is exactly what i was looking for but can you help me with the size of your illustrator art board.
Hi Mariah, this was a great tutorial however no help on the size in illustrator or how to actually save each sliced image as their own? Would be great to be able to follow every step concisely.
Loved this tutorial! But I have a question; what would be the difference if I add the images by a direct upload rather than using a web adress url? Thank you :)
Love this! This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for to create one of these! :)
thank you for the video. My question though is, if you have to deploy the email signature for an entire company of a department using Gmail. do you have to repeat the steps over and over again or is there a swifter way for doing so ???
wish i could use this tutorial, but my slices are exporting as gifs and i can't find a way around it. would have been super helpful if you explained how to use the slice tool.
Also curious how you export sliced sections
When you make a great video, you will help people for years to come, thank you.
Thats so sweet! Thanks for watching Elijah!
Hey Maraiah! How did you get rid of the vertical line spacing between the image slices in the signature? I have my design and slices all good to go out of Illustrator but Gmail seems to be adding vertical line spacing I cannot get rid of!
Thank you so much for this! Can not wait to make my signatures for my brands. What is the size is your email signature? Like by pixels?
I had the some question! If you look close enough, she has the pixel rulers displayed. Looks like its 350px wide by 150 px tall.
@@revelpr531 @shelby Jacobson - You guys skimmed through the video. she mentions it should be 300-500px wide
Hi there :) great video thank you. Just wondering if you have one that does step by step to show how to slice?
Hello, thanx for your video. Gmail probably made a changens in seetings menu and every next picture (sliced part) put below previous one, not in same row, even I always move cursor on right place. And there is empty spave between rows. Can you help me please, what should I change in settings?
Great tutorial! Took a while to get mine right, but the principles all came from here, so really appreciate the insight!
I got a lot of Mood Board Templates by signing up and its free of cost .And i love those templates ..Thank you very much Mariah
I'm so glad! You're so welcome!!
Thanks ...i'm a logo designer too ...and would like to work under your guidance .I usually work in freelancer.com(www.freelancer.com/u/raihanfarooq) . if you want to contact me ..skype - hmfarooq2014
Thanks a whole lot!...you just helped me solve a really big issue I've been having. you can't imagine. Thanks again.
I just completed the video and it was very helpful. Thank you! Any suggestions on how to do the same hyperlinks with Mac email?
Mariah, what's your initial artboard size? Great tutorial, thanks!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the tutorial!
X2
Thank you so much!!!! I was able to do this myself (I was a little rusty on Illustrator, but as I kept going, it got easier.) My signature looks great and all the links work! Great job and great tutorial!!! Thanks , Mariah!
You're so welcome, Daniel! I'm so glad it helped!!
This tutorial helped me so much, thank you. I have only one problem, I use a coloured signature and when I press enter there is a small white stroke between the upper and lower section. Can I remove this?
I'm so glad it helped! Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything you can do about the white edge/gapping problem you're having. It's just what is going to happen in Gmail (or whatever platform you're using) I'm sorry!! I definitely recommend having a white background for this reason. I'm sorry I can't help more!
This is great, but I'm wondering how to do it for an account that's not gmail? Apple mail doesn't have the URL option
This is great, thank you! Would it work the same if you skipped uploading the images to the external site and just upload the image directly to gmail (like when you click insert image and you go to the URL, can you just upload an image straight from your computer)?
I LIKE IT!!!!!
You just gave me a big piece of inspiration Mariah!
Thank you so much
Yayy! You're so welcome!!
i’m following your video to a T and i’m getting 2 problems:
my images look blurry on my signature,
and when i highlight the signature to add a link to my website i don’t get the same pop up. it doesnt say “add link” for me. so instead i highlight the image, click that little link symbol and type in my website. but when i save and go to email myself, it gets blocked for having a link. where am i going wrong???
great tutorial - but i am having trouble with pixelation/blurryness. it is 375 px X 375 px But If the image is any larger it wont display on phones correctly, kicking my social links down onto separate lines - anyone have any suggestions?
I have the same issue!!! I finally got it all aligned after several attempts that failed, and finally got it together but it was all pixelated!!
Thank you a lot for the great tutorial. It is exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome, Very nice and easy best video tutorial. Thank you so much Mariah, This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for to create one of these! :)
You have asked for some examples, here a few nice signature examples designmodo.com/email-signature/
Also, on RGE are a few business signatures.
Awesome, informative and easy to understand. Thank you!
Please tell me,what's the art board size you have designed?
Can we use this same process when implementing a signature into outlook?
Thanks for this video! I've been pulling my hair out trying to build email sigs in Google docs.
Is there a simpler way to do this for a company with a lot of employees so that we can share the same image?
Hi Mariah...I agree with the others...that was the best tutorial. Thank you.I've been asked to create an interactive email signature for someone else to upload to their own account. How do I do this without having access to their account? If I could create the signature in Illustrator for them to upload, that would be great but I suspect, not doable. Do you know how I would do this? Many thanks. Sarah
Hi Sarah! I'm so glad it was helpful!!
As for making one for someone else, what I've done is I'll set it up their signature in the backend of my gmail account as if it's my own. Then instead of saving over my current one, I'll highlight the new one, copy it and then paste it into a new email and send it to my client. This keeps the links intact and allows them to then just copy and paste it into their own email signature.
I hope this helps!!
Hi! It works very well but my signature is a bit blur (seems to appear in bad quality), what I can do to fix this in Photoshop ? Maybe it's because I made it in 1200px and then I resized it -50% because it was too big... Thanks
Hey are you able to explain how you used the slice tool to divide up your graphic? thanks so much! Really appreciate!
Hey, your video was very helpful
But i have a doubt that what's the canvas size and resolution of the Photoshop file ?
I suppose after you insert the actions you can save as template so you don't have to repeat process?
Complicated. Did you try to pack all the banner somehow? Better make it with pure HTML and save the in the SIgnatures folder of Mail. You have lots of http requests with the image links.
Still working! Thanks a lot Mariah!
Hello thanks for the tutorial! My email signature looks choppy, it is leaving white spaces. Do you recommend any other formatting to fix this issue?
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It was super useful for me. :) Have a good day!
You've made this so simple! thanks so much
Thanks for the help, Mariah. One question, when I try to add photos they don't stack nicely like yours, they just end up under each other. Not sure what am I doing wrong
Hi Mariah, first of all, great video!! This really helped me move forward with my own signature. I noticed that your icons change colors a bit when you hover over or click them, as in a website hyperlink. Could you explain how is this done? I'm using Photoshop and ImageReady to create my signature.. Thanks!
how can i save the slides Separately?
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for posting!
Does anyone know if and where you can get the social media icons that you can put into the signature? Did she make them all herself?
Hi! What is the art board size? Mine looks too big 🙃
Awesome! Thanks!, I just have one problem. I'm exporting my signature from illustrator at 600px wight, and I get a blurred image. Someone know how to fix that problem, without having to export a larger file so I don't get a huge signature on Gmail? Thanks!
I'm having no luck with this. I'm slicing perfectly and in a minimalistic way but my image has gaps in it that have no reason to be there. I think it's because I'm working with a black background and yours is white, so we're just not seeing how your image isn't being put together either?
I've litterally done every single thing you've said in the video and comments and getting nowhere.
youre actually the best! thanks for sharing this!!
Thank you! This was super helpful!
I think it is very long to create email signature in Photoshop. Also, all other links in the email signature won't work except social icons. So the best way of creating email signatures are different software like NEWOLDSTAMP. The NEWOLDSTAMP email signature generator allows you to create a consistent HTML email signature without coding skills, involving an IT department or third-party developers and designers.
It is awesome! But I have a query. How can I do the same on PowerPoint?
What is the size of the image in px ?
Awesome tutorial! What are the dimension that you use for your banner?
would of been nice if yo showed how you designed it. Like what are he measurements and once you have it all together how to slice it.
This was awesome, thank you! Now, for how to implement a Photoshop or Illustrator made email template into gmail. Can't seem to find anything helpful online.
what font did you use
Nice, i have never thought of this wow..
Thanks alot
Simple and great effective.
Thanks
The best video about it.
But i have a "little problem"...
I have to do this to, almost, 15 signatures. So, i created in Photoshop, cuted in Firewords (yeah....that old software. But i only know how to do in it) and exported html/imagens.
My idea is to just send the html image to the people, and they ctrl c + v it. But every html i generate doesnt work.
Thanks a lot this tutorial was so simple
This was so helpful, thank you so much Mariah!!
I'm so glad it was helpful, Eva!
Can I copy the whole thing to replicate on computers for remote people who will not come into the office - like create an image...
What method should I follow for Outlook?
I was trying to do this with Photoshop and ran into an issue. When you design the sig as 1 document and then save off the individual elements IE: bugs. when you import the URL from Postimage they will not overlap and will not allow you to stay to the original design. No overlap with transparency in essence. Then obviously when you do it all as 1 png, you don't have the option to select the items individually to add the links.
Hey guys, just to let you all know, if you design your signature on illustrator and want to have it on gmail there is a easier way to do it. First, you gotta create a google doc and insert a table with rows and collumns on it. Export the pieces you want in .png format and insert inside the rows/collumns. Just work it out and try it on gmail to see if fits, keep editing untill you satisfied. After you all done, just color the borders white, copy and paste on gmail! 😎
super helpful!!!
is there a way to do this on a mass scale for a whole company, say 200 employees ? I'm thinking only way would be to copy and paste the majority of it from a previous signature, and then simply update the top image with the employees name, but still labor intensive, will it work if I would place them all in and link them up then just copy and paste into another persons signature pane ? thanks!
how did you end up doing this for 200 people?
We really love Mariah ...and need more videos . can you please make a tutorial on how to create" logo GIF" ...it will be very helpful for us .Thanks
That's a great idea. I'm definitely hoping to do more videos this year, so I'll get on that asap. Thanks for the request!!
Great Tutorial. Thanks!
What are the dimensions of your document?
If you look closely you'll notice is 350*150px
figurred it out thanks a million
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Do the same rules apply if you want to send/create a full page custom email?
love your videos!
This is so helpful! Thank you! I'm having one issue, I'm wondering if you can help?
My signature has an image that takes up the left side. When I split the signature in Illustrator, I either have to split it so that the image is sliced at the bottom - which in Gmail creates a gap in that part of the image. Otherwise, I have to split the image into its own slice - which doesn't work because I can't stack my links next to the image, I can only place one thing to the right of it.
Is there any way I can get around this?
I have the exact same problem! Help!
@@elizabetherasmus792 I have the same issue too, its ruining my signature :C
Easy and simple. Thank you
Thank you so much. This helped me in my new project.
Hey Mariah, I noticed that you've exported the vector images as png's. Wouldn't it be better to upload them as vectors so they don't become blurry at point?
OMG so easy I can not thank you enough for this!!!!
How did you make those different inboxes?
www.mediacollege.com/adobe/photoshop/tool/slice.html
Why don´t you show the most important part of the video which is using slice tool and saving files?
LEGIT OMG! I do it all - resize artboards, cut it up, export individual artboards, upload - its not aligned - repeat! Until I finally hacked it but IT WAS ALL BLURRY!!!!! HELPPP!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL OMG THANK YOU!
Yayyyy! You're welcome, Amanda!
what is the size of icons u posted? i mean the social media icons
Thank you so much! This helped a lot
I wonder if this works in Apple Mail, I have a GMAIL account but I don't use the web based Gmail app to check my email, I use APPLE mail
This is awesome thanks!
