About this tool
Outlook renders HTML email with Word’s engine. No flexbox, no grid, and any style block is liable to be stripped out entirely. That is why signature generators emitting modern CSS produce something that collapses into an unstyled column in the client a large share of business email is read in. This emits a table with inline styles, which looks archaic and works everywhere.
- No images. An image-based signature shows as a broken box for every recipient whose client blocks remote images by default, which is most of them.
- The preview is the exact markup you copy, rendered — not a styled approximation of it. Showing something prettier than what gets pasted is how these tools disappoint.
- For Gmail, copy the rendered preview rather than the HTML: select it, copy, then paste into Settings and Signature. Outlook and Apple Mail take the same paste.
- Built in your browser. Your contact details are not sent anywhere.
Questions
- Why is the markup a table?
- Because Outlook uses Microsoft Word to render HTML, and Word supports neither flexbox nor grid. A table with inline styles is the only layout that renders the same in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail.
- How do I add this to Gmail?
- Copy the rendered preview — not the HTML — then go to Settings, General, Signature, and paste. Gmail accepts pasted rich text but has no field for raw HTML.
- Should I put my logo in my signature?
- Usually not. Most mail clients block remote images by default, so the recipient sees a broken placeholder where your logo should be. A coloured rule reads better and always renders.
