Export your HTML signature from Emailify ​

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 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.

Important information about Yahoo! Mail image scale rendering issues ​

Unfortunately Yahoo Mail makes on the fly adjustments to the images in your signature which is out of our control. This can cause rendering issues in certain email clients if your images are being scaled down from their natural size.

We've noticed that the following images are being scaled down:

  • Profile Image (400px → 100px)
  • Logo (600px → 150px)

While the signature may look fine in the Yahoo Mail preview, it is likely that recipeints using Microsoft email clients such as Outlook 2019 will see any images at their full size (example below).

Please test your signature by sending it to a recipient who is using a Windows mail client. If the issue is occuring you can resolve it by uploading your images at the exact size that they should appear in the signature (and not scale them down). You can use a free online service (or Figma) to resize your images appropriately.
