If you have a signature you want to add an image to, select it, otherwise click New to create a new signature.

In File, Options, Mail, click on Signatures to open the Signature editor.

Do not insert a 500x300 image then resize it to 200X100. When using images in your signature, you should use an image editor (such as SnagIt or MS Paint) to resize the image so its the exact size you want to use in the signature. However, as long as you use the same file name (and for best results, the same file dimensions), you can update the image on the web server and recipients will see the new image any time they look at your messages.

If you delete the image from the web server (or rename it), the signature will show a placeholder and error.

The image may download every time they view the message, which could increase their bandwidth costs.

If you link to an image, users could block external content, so they won't see the image and they won't see the image if they are not connected to the Internet.

However, they'll only download the image once, which makes it bandwidth-friendly.

If you use an embedded image, the message size will be larger (because of the attached image) but the recipient will see the image even if they are offline or when they look at the message years from now.

You might need to drag and drop the image instead of copying/pasting.

Then simply hit “Save” and you are all done and you shouldn’t have any problems with your image/picture becoming a broken/dead link. You can then construct the rest of your signature. Now simply go back to the email signature block and hit paste (CTRL+V). Then right click on the image and select “Copy.” When this goes into your clipboard it is also going to capture the web server path. If it is on your web server I advise just right clicking on it if you are in Firefox and selecting “view image.” URL example. If you use TinyPic, they will give you the URL.

Once you know where the image is, you will need to browse to the hosted location URL. If you don’t have access to a web server you can always upload it to a free image hosting site such as TinyPic. I always just upload the image I want to my web server. You need to have your image hosted online somewhere. This is because the temporary link breaks. A lot of people just copy and paste their image into the signature block and while it might appear like it works… most likely when you send it out the receiver is going to get a big blank square with a red “X” in it. You need to have that image hosted online somewhere. Ok, and so here is the part where 85% of people mess up.
