Quick Answer
For an email signature, decide how large the logo should appear in the message before choosing the exported pixel dimensions. A compact image with an explicit display size is generally easier to manage than a huge original pasted into the editor.
Settings for this task
| Decision | Starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Display example | 150×50 pixels | Fits a compact horizontal signature. |
| 2× source example | 300×100 pixels | Display at half its exported dimensions. |
| Format | PNG for transparency | Use a compatible hosted image workflow where required. |
Worked example
A 300×100 image intended to display at 150×50 needs that smaller display size in the signature. Otherwise a client may show it at 300×100. These numbers are a worked example, not a Gmail or Outlook upload limit.
Step-by-step workflow
- Prepare a clean, modest-size logo export.
- Use the signature generator or mail editor to set its intended displayed width.
- Send a test to another mailbox and inspect desktop and mobile views.
- Check replies and messages with remote images blocked; keep essential contact details as text.
Limits and final checks
Email clients differ in how they handle embedded data images, remote images and pasted HTML. A local preview cannot prove recipient compatibility or guarantee image delivery.
