If you've ever tried to create a nice signature for your emails on your favorite email client, you probably know that it's a real pain... It's hard to integrate an image or a logo, while maintaining correct text alignments. As soon as you touch something, everything shifts and it's often impossible to go back... In short, it's hell! It's hell, but it's still not worse than repair corrupted outlook data from Microsoft Outlook inbox.
That's why I wanted to introduce you Signature Hound, a very nice online tool whose sole purpose is to help you create a beautiful signature and integrate it into the email platform you use!
Previously featuring a paid premium offering, Signature Hound is now a 100% free tool… so you might as well take advantage of it!
Create a beautiful signature for your emails with Signature Hound
Very easy to use, Signature Hound will offer you 8 predefined signature styles, which you will be able to modify as you wish: colors, logo, fonts... the essentials are configurable!
To create a new signature, the best thing to do is to start by filling in the information that will be displayed in the signature. There are two tabs dedicated to this task, the first one concerns your personal information: profile picture, name, title, email address, phone numbers… and the second one concerns information related to your company (or yourself): logo, name of your company, address, website and social networks.
The existence of these two tabs is explained by the possibility that you have to share a signature with other users and thus force them to display identical information concerning your common company…
Once you have done this, you can select the signature template that you like the most and start customizing it. Indeed, the "Design" tab will allow you to modify some of the signature: display and style of icons, display of separation lines, color of text and icons, font, font size...
Finally, if you master the HTML language you can create a 100% personalized signature!
Easily install a signature with Signature Hound
But it's not enough to create a nice signature, you have to succeed in installing it correctly on your email client... and each system has its own characteristics...
And this is where Signature Hound comes into its own by offering a procedure and code adapted for 14 email clients (web or software):
- Apple Mail (Mac OS)
- Mail App (iOS)

- Yahoo! (webmail)
- Outlook.com (webmail)

Choose the email client that concerns you and you will be able to discover the steps to correctly install your signature. When you arrive at the signature integration step, the site offers you a button that will allow you to copy it in the format adapted to your email client.
If you can't find your email client in the list, you can copy the signature as is, copy the source code or download the source code, to try to install it yourself. In most cases, a copy and paste works but there may be small visual bugs.
And there you have it, you have a nice signature in your mailbox and it can be the same whether you are on your email client on your computer or on your smartphone! And that's really nice!
