How to Add Link to an Image in Gmail Signature

There are two methods for adding a link to an image in your Gmail signature. Let’s examine them.

Note: You can only hyperlink an image in a Gmail signature from a computer. Gmail mobile apps do not support adding images to the signature.

Method 1: Hyperlink an Image in Signature Using Gmail Settings

Here are the step-by-step instructions to create a hyperlinked image in the Gmail signature.

Step 1: Launch the Gmail website on your computer and sign in with your account.

Step 2: Click on the Settings icon at the top of the Gmail website. Select See all settings from the menu.

Step 3: Under the General tab, scroll down to the Signature section. Click on Create new to create a new signature. Type a name to identify the signature.

Step 4: Enter the text you want to keep in your signature. Then click on the Image icon to insert the image.

Step 5: Select the image that you want to add and hit the Select button. You can select the image present in your Google Drive account, upload it from your computer, or add it using the image URL.

Step 6: To select the image, perform the click-and-drag gesture like you would select a string of text, but from right to left. The selected image should turn blue.

Step 7: Click on the Link icon in the bottom bar of the Signature section. If the link icon is not visible, use the Ctrl + K (Windows) or Command + K (Mac) keyboard shortcuts.

Step 8: Add the link address and click the Ok button.

Method 2: Hyperlink an Image in Gmail Signature Using Google Docs

If the above method doesn’t work for some reason, you can try a workaround. Basically, you need to create your signature containing the hyperlinked image in Google Docs. And then copy-paste it in Gmail signature.

Step 1: Open any Google Docs document on your PC.

Step 2: In Google Docs, click on the Insert option followed by Image to add an image you want to hyperlink.

Step 3: Once the image is added, click on it to select it. Then go to Insert > Link. Alternatively, use Ctrl + K or Command + K keyboard shortcut to add the link.

Step 4: Enter the link in the box that appears and hit the Apply button.

Step 5: Right-click on the image and select Copy from the menu.

Step 6: Go to the signature section in Gmail Settings by following steps 1-3 mentioned in method 1. Then right-click on the empty area next to the Signature option and select Paste.
