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-five logo-tuned presets across Classic, Reveal, Playful and Loop — from a whisper-quiet Fade to a satisfying Stamp. Tune the speed, 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.

How to add your animated GIF in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and Yahoo

GMAIL

Add a GIF to your Gmail signature

Settings → See all settings → Signature → click the image icon → upload the GIF you exported here. Gmail hosts the image for you, and the animation plays for every Gmail recipient.

OUTLOOK

Why Outlook shows only the first frame

Classic Outlook for Windows renders email with the Word engine, so animated GIFs display as a still image. That is exactly why this tool makes frame one your finished logo: Outlook recipients see a perfect static mark, everyone else sees it animate. In new Outlook, add the GIF via Settings → Accounts → Signatures rather than copy-paste.

APPLE MAIL

Animated GIF in an Apple Mail signature

On Mac, open Mail → Settings → Signatures and drag the GIF straight into the signature pane. Apple Mail plays it; what recipients see depends on their own client, which the safe first frame covers.

YAHOO

Yahoo Mail signature GIF

Yahoo has no image upload in its signature editor, so host the GIF (any image host or your site) and paste it as part of a rich-text or HTML signature. The export here keeps the file small enough to load instantly.

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.

Why is my GIF not animating in my Outlook signature?

Classic Outlook for Windows uses Word's rendering engine, which plays no GIF animation, and new Outlook often freezes GIFs that were pasted in rather than added through Settings → Accounts → Signatures. Nothing is wrong with your file. Because this tool bakes your finished logo into frame one, Outlook recipients simply see a clean static logo.

Can I add an animated GIF to a Yahoo Mail signature?

Yes, but Yahoo's signature editor has no upload button, so the GIF must be hosted at a URL and inserted as an image in a rich-text signature. Any image host works; keep the file under 500KB so it loads before the reader scrolls past.

Is this animated email signature maker really free?

Completely: no watermark, no signup, no export limit. It runs in your browser, so your logo never leaves your device. If you later want a hand-crafted animation, custom packages start at $35, but the signature tool itself is free forever.

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.
