# Export and install custom HTML email signatures for Outlook 2019 (Windows)

> Emailify includes an option for exporting HTML signatures, which you can then copy/paste and use in Outlook 2019 (Windows).

> **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 Outlook 2019 (Windows)

![Outlook 2019 (Windows) Icon](/assets/images/emailify/signatures/outlook-2019-windows.png)

> **Warning:** **Outlook infamously uses the Microsoft Word rendering engine for email which will cause differences to your signature preview**. Spacing and font sizing will appear slightly differently, images are often squished, and underlines will be added to your links. For many of your recipients these links will appear with a blue underline, irrespective of the color you set for them. ![Screenshot of blue underlined links sent from MS Word email client](/assets/images/emailify/signatures/outlook-2019-windows-4.jpg)

> **Note:** If you really care about your email signature being "pixel perfect" then **we recommend using a different email client that uses a HTML rendering engine** such as [Outlook.com](https://outlook.com).

1. With Outlook open, click the **New Email** button to bring up the email composer.

2. Click **Signature** in the message toolbar and then the **Signatures** option to open the Signature Settings modal.
