How to Add Social Media Icons to Gmail Signature

If you’re looking to go that extra mile to reinforce your professional image, then you may want to learn how to add social media icons to Gmail signature. Adding an email signature allows the recipient to get in touch when emailing is not possible. This visual guide will take you through the 6-step process.

Step 1

Go to your Gmail’s Settings

Step 2

Under the General tab, scroll down to Signature. Select your email address. Then type in your desired message. You may want to include your full name, phone number, website, and address (if it’s your business email account).

Step 3

Copy-paste any of the social media icons below to the Signature entry field. I have included some of my favorite social media icons below. All the icons are in PNG format of 75 x 75 pixels which is perfect for embedding in original size. You can download the entire pack here.

Step 4

After you’ve pasted the icon, select it then click the Link button. You’ll need to change the default link by clicking the Change text link.

Step 5

You’ll now have to specify your social media URL from your social media profile in the text field then click OK. Feel free to add whatever social media icons you feel are relevant to the industry you’re in.

Step 6

You’re now good to go but don’t forget to save. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.

The Result

From now on whenever you compose an email, you’ll see your signature already inputted there. I have tried to stylize my signature by writing the text in italics and in quotation.

And that’s it! You now have a more professional-looking email signature than what you had just 5 minutes ago.
