How to Add a Picture to a Signature in Outlook 2013

Have you received an email from someone that was using a picture in their email signature, and you wish that you could do that, too?

If you are using Outlook 2013, then you have the ability to add a picture to your signature.

Whether the picture is a company logo, or even a picture of you, then our guide below will show you the steps to take in order to include a picture with the rest of the information in your signature.

Note that Outlook is going to insert the picture at its default size. So if you are trying to use a very large picture, then you might want to resize the picture first in an image-editing program like Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop.

If the picture you want to add is a logo, and you’ve been thinking about creating one or updating an existing one, check out FreeLogoServices.com, where you can get one designed.

Note that pictures that are added in this manner can sometimes be included as attachments, depending on the recipient’s email provider.

In step 4 above you will note that there are dropdown menus at the top-right of the window for New emails and Replies/forwards. Be sure to set your email signature with the picture in either or both of those boxes to ensure that the signature is being added to your emails.
