Frequently Asked Questions
Does the signature work on iPhone and iPad?+
Apple Mail on iPhone/iPad only supports plain text signatures. The rich HTML signature you set up on Mac will only appear in emails sent from the Mac Mail app. For iOS, go to Settings → Mail → Signature to set a text-only signature.
Why does Apple Mail change my signature formatting?+
Make sure "Always match my default message font" is unchecked in Mail → Settings → Signatures. This option overrides your signature's fonts and colors with the default message font.
Can I use different signatures for different accounts?+
Yes! Apple Mail lets you assign a unique default signature to each email account. In the Signatures tab, select the account first, then choose the signature.
Will my profile photo show up?+
Yes! Photos uploaded in our generator are embedded as base64 data, which Apple Mail supports natively. Your photo will display without needing external image hosting.
Can I add social media links?+
Yes! Our generator adds clickable social icons for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Is this free?+
Yes, 100% free. No account needed, no credit card, no hidden fees.
