Add an animated logo to your email signature

Email clients can't play video or CSS animation — the only thing that moves in a signature is an animated GIF. This tool turns your logo into a subtle, professional one: Outlook-safe first frame, retina-sharp, and small enough not to trip spam filters.

STEP 01

Upload your logo

PNG with transparency or SVG works best. The preview drops it straight into a mock email so you see exactly how it lands in an inbox.

STEP 02

Style the motion

Twenty-two logo-tuned presets — from a whisper-quiet Fade to a punchy Glitch. Tune the duration, playback and logo scale until it feels right.

STEP 03

Download & install

Export the GIF, then upload it in Gmail's or Outlook's signature editor — or host it and paste the HTML snippet this tool copies for you.

Frequently asked questions

Will the animation play in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail?

Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook on the web all play GIFs. Outlook for Windows shows only the first frame — which is why this tool automatically makes frame one your finished logo, so those recipients see a perfect static image instead of a half-faded one.

Play once or loop forever?

Play-once is the professional default: it animates when the email opens, then rests on the finished logo. Loop forever suits only the gentlest motions like a soft pulse — anything busy on repeat distracts from your message.

How do I add the GIF to my Gmail signature?

Gmail → Settings → See all settings → Signature → click the image icon → upload the GIF you downloaded here. Gmail hosts it for you. In Outlook and Apple Mail, insert the image directly into the signature editor.

Why does my transparent GIF have rough edges?

GIF transparency is all-or-nothing — no soft anti-aliased edges like PNG. If your logo has fine edges, choose White or a Colour matched to your email theme instead; it renders perfectly everywhere.

What size and weight should a signature GIF be?

Around 300px wide displayed (exported at 2× here for retina sharpness), 3–4 seconds of motion at most, and ideally under 500KB — heavier files slow loading and can hurt deliverability. The tool reports the exact size after every export.
