# Export and install custom HTML email signatures for Gmail (Web Mail)

> Emailify includes an option for exporting HTML signatures, which you can then copy/paste and use in Gmail (Web Mail).

> **Warning:** **Email signatures have a size limit of 10,000 characters in the HTML**. The plugin will warn you after exporting your email signature if its over the size limit. To avoid this you can use some of the **Signature** starter components under the **Footer** tab in the Emailify plugin.

> **Note:** Unfortunately, any **responsive mobile overrides _won't_ be rendered for any "HTML Email Signature" exports**, as any CSS style tags and @media queries are stripped out by email clients (therefore, it's also not included in the code export), so it's worth trying to strike a balance in the original design that looks nice across both desktop and mobile widths.

In the Emailify plugin, click on the **Export HTML** button to open the export panel, select the **HTML Email Signature** option from the dropdown list, then click the **Export to HTML Signature** button to start exporting the emails you've selected from Figma to HTML.

After Emailify has finished processing your email(s), you'll be shown a confirmation message; you can download your `.zip` file to your computer by clicking the **Download your .zip file** button, then you can unzip the `.zip` to see your exported files.

## Copy your HTML email signature to the clipboard

After you've exported your HTML email signature from Emailify and unzipped the `.zip` file, you can open the `preview-and-install.html` file in your [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) web browser (as other browsers like Safari may have issues) and then click the **Copy HTML Signature** button on the preview page, which will automatically copy the contents of your HTML signature to your clipboard.

> **Tip:** Some email clients may require the "raw" HTML code, so if that's the case, you can click the **Copy HTML Signature (Raw Code)** button in the `preview-and-install.html` file to copy the selection as raw HTML to your clipboard that way instead.

> **Note:** Once you've copied the HTML to your clipboard, you can follow the instructions below (taken from the excellent guides provided by [SignatureHound](https://signaturehound.com/)) to install the signature in your email client.

## How to install your HTML email signature in Gmail (Web Mail)

![Gmail (Web Mail) Icon](/assets/images/emailify/signatures/gmail-webmail.png)

1. Once logged into your Gmail account, click the **Settings** Cog in the top right corner.

2. Select the **Settings** drop down option.

3. Scroll down to the **Signature** section and click **Create new**.

4. Enter your new signature name into the modal and click **Create**.

5. Copy and paste your signature into the signature editor.

> **Warning:** There is currently a bug with Chrome and the way it performs the copy/paste that causes your signature's links to appear underlined. Please complete the signature install process using a different browser such as [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) to resolve the issue. You can go back to using Chrome once your email signature is setup using another browser.

6. Select your new signature in the **For New Emails Use** drop down.

7. Ensure you scroll the bottom of the page and click **Save Changes**.

8. Compose a new email and enjoy your new signature!
