A friend of mine asked me about why gmail don’t have signatures with images. I said: “What? Sure it has!” I never thought it was something strange, but he said that had never found a good way to do this. So, look this.

First, you have to enable two options on Labs (don’t know what’s Labs? Go to the end of the post, later came back).

Enable “Canned responses”:

And “Inserting images”:

So, click on “Compose Mail” and write a blank mail, just with your desired signature:

Then insert the image you want (look the button selected above):

It will be something like that:

Then you save you canned response:

And name it (please, a good name, easy to remember):

And this is it! You have created you signature with image!

And how can I use?

Well, write anything… Like that:

Then, insert your canned response:

And your mail will be something like that:

This is it.

Appendix – What’s “Labs”?

Like Google says: “Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren’t quite ready for primetime. They may change,break or disappear at any time.”

In a short way, Labs are very nice add-ons to your mail. Be careful, it addicts.
