Why Do You Need an Email Signature?

You might be thinking about why it’s even necessary to setup an email signature. Having a branded email signature makes YOU look like a professional and authority when sending emails and will definitely leave a lasting first impression that will WOW everyone you send an email to!

Although there are many email signature platforms available I find that they are lacking in the design department. If having a cohesive brand throughout our online presence then there’s a way you can create your own custom email signature in Canva!

How you can get started with Canva Pro

Yes, you can instantly get access to a massive library of stock photos, graphics, and a handy brand kit. Found an element you like? Canva Pro allows you access to all of this for FREE!

How to Create a Canva Email Signature

Creating your email signature in Canva has never been easier.

Step 1: Create a New Design

You want to create a new design with the correct dimensions.

👉 Click on Create a Design

👉 Click on custom size

👉 Enter the dimensions 1080px x 500px

Step 2: Start Designing

This is the fun part! Create your design with Canva. Choose your font and brand colours to ensure your email signature is on-brand. Here are some guidelines you can use when creating your custom email signature in Canva design.

👉 Add image element – this allows you to add a headshot of yourself, and lets people know that you are an actual human on the other side of the email account.

👉 Stick to your brand elements – If you already have your brand kit saved in Canva this makes it even easier! Use your brand fonts and colours to ensure you’re on brand even when you’re sending emails!

👉 Don’t forget social media icons – Use the social media icons in Canva so that it’s easier for those you are emailing to find you on other social media platforms.

Once you’re happy with your design simply save it to your computer.

Step 3: Upload into Gmail

If you’re using Gmail to access your emails. This makes it easy for you to import your design.

👉 Click on Settings.

👉 Within the General Setting tab scroll down until you see the email signature.

👉 Click on Insert Image.

👉 Click on upload and upload the email signature you just designed in Canva.

👉 If the email signature appears too big, use the custom options to get the correct size, I find that it displays perfectly when making choose the large image size.

👉 Click on Save Changes.

Now for the exciting part! I’ve created two free email signature templates you can easily change the fonts and colours to match your branding.
