Sorry, we couldn't find any posts. Please try a different search.
Abbey, For some reason, I am only able to get the first 2:35 of this video. It shows it is an 8-minute video but will only play the 2:35. Not sure where the issue is.
Sorry about that… the glitch has been fixed!
great tutorial! Lots of background noise though.
yeah… I may have been working in a coffee shop today. Will record at home next time – ha!
I think it was fine. Thanks for the great tips. I never knew I could do so much in Canva ha

Glad you liked it Jocelyne! I hope to do a lot more tutorial videos in the future!
Love this! Thanks for sharing. It’s details like these that make a huge difference in positioning your brand.
This was so helpful! I’m having an issue downloading it. I don’t get the option to “download for web”. It just tells me to download as a PDF because it has links in it. The image maker wont accept a PDF. Help??
Hi! I made my signature and I LOVE it! Thank you so much! I am having one issue with it though…I created it through gmail settings as you showed in the video and it works if I send an email from the web, but I also have my email accounts linked to “Mail” on my Mac and the signature does not transfer to that platform. Is there a simple way to transfer it to work there as well? Thanks so much!!!
Great tutorial! Easy and effective.
I’m happy you enjoyed it!
Good point to create a brand impact with small changes in your email signature.
Great tutorial! Thank you very much!
Thank you for reading Tatiana!
Loved this! Thank you!
Thank you!
Love this so much! I just updated my signature and it looks SOOOOO much better…
Love your tips 🙂
That’s great Stephanie! Thank you for being here! I’m happy to hear it looks amazing.
I wish I use gmail fro my biz but I use yahoo. Thanks
Yahoo is a great platform as well!
Thanks but I couldn’t watch the entire video. The TV playing in the background was annoying and unprofessional. Sorry.
I’m sorry you felt it was unprofessional, Rolando! I was working out of a coffee shop that day.
Is it possible to do this on MailChimp or ConvertKit?
Hi Tenni,
Yes, you can use the branded Gmail Signature image you’ve created and save it in Jpeg form and you can include it in your MailChimp or Convertkit emails. Make sure to “preview” before posting in your Email Subscribing so you can make any changes if needed.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you it was Helpful but you talk too fast it and sounded like mumbling at times. Is there a written version? I really want to do this.
Hey Allison–I’m glad you found it helpful, and thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately there is not a written version, but we can definitely consider writing one! Stay tuned. 🙂
Thanks so much this was amazingly helpful!
Thanks for the sweet words, Teresa! 🙂
Thanks so much for this! I’ve always wanted to learn about this but kept delaying, lol. Your tutorial was really helpful.
I’m so glad Karen!
This is great! Thanks a lot! Subsribed to your email!
That’s wonderful, Lina! Glad you liked it. 🙂
Hi Abbey,
I worked through your video for a good portion of my day yesterday and finally got something I was happy with. Then sent it to a few people for critique. Unfortunately it didn’t read the same on everyones platform. Is this something you were aware of or is it just me? I deal with clients all over so I need a signature that works all all platforms. Any tips?
thanks
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with your email signature Angela! It does work on all platforms. It sounds like perhaps it was an issue with adding it to Gmail. Were you able to create the link first?
Super helpful, thank you! Only trouble I have is my images once saved from Canva to my computer, become grainy/blurry as PNG’s or JPGs. If saved as PDF’s they aren’t. When I create the link and upload into Gmail they are slightly blurry looking. I noticed yours isn’t. Is there something I am doing wrong that you can advise to avoid? I love that you gave such an easy to understand process-I’ve bene trying to get my signature done for a while and knowing how to create the url was the hangup! Thank you!
Hey Christen! Once you have your pdf from Canva, take it over to https://smallpdf.com/ & convert it to the jpg. Its free for 3 images in one hour. Once your image is a jpg, you’ll be all set.
Hi Abbey! Love this, I made my own and one for my sister’s business. I love the little round social icons. I’m wondering if you have any to use to direct people to a website?
https://www.iconfinder.com/ is a great resource. There are icons for a minimal charge, but also some great FREE options as well!
Will this work with other mail platforms? I currently use outlook.com. Also, I have an email account that I set up when I got my domain set up. I go through Hostinger and the mail client they use is Titan. Will this also work there?
Thank you so much for this blog post!! Seriously exactly what I was looking for and needed.
