Create an email signature in Outlook

If you prefer to skip the video and go straight to the written instructions, see Add a signature to messages.

You can create personalized signatures for your email messages that include text, images, your electronic business card, a logo, or even an image of your handwritten signature. You can set it up so that signatures can be added automatically to all outgoing messages, or you can choose which messages include a signature.
