Community Tested You can change the signature appended to the end of all of your email messages from the Settings app on your iPad. If your iPad has multiple email addresses on it, you can set individual signatures for each. You can also add HTML signatures with pictures and links by making one on your computer and sending it to your iPad. If you want to add a handwritten signature, you can find various signature apps by searching "signature" in the iPad's App Store.

Changing Your Signature

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPad. You'll find this on one of your Home screens. The icon looks like a gear.
  2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." This will display your mail account settings.
  3. Tap the "Signature" option. This will display the current signature for your email account.
  4. Tap "Per Account" if you want to set different signatures for each email account. By default, your iPad will set the same signature for all of your connected email accounts. Tapping "Per Account" will reveal the signature fields for every account on your iPad, allowing you to set a different one for each.
    • This option will not appear unless you have more than one account on your iPad.
  5. Delete the default signature. The default signature is "Sent from my iPad." You can tap the end of this and use your keyboard to delete it.
  6. Type the signature you want to use. Try to keep your signature short and to the point, including only the most pertinent information. You can press the "Return" key on the onscreen keyboard to move down to the next line.
    • If you want to create a signature with text formatting and images, see the Creating an HTML Signature section below.
  7. Return to the previous menu to save your changes. Tap the "< Mail" button in the upper-left corner to return to the Mail menu. Your signature will be saved and applied to all future email messages you send from your iPad.

Creating an HTML Signature

  1. Log into Gmail on your computer. Create a new account if you don't have one. You'll just be using Gmail to create and email the signature to your iPad so that you can add it on your device.
    • You don't have to use Gmail, but the signature editor is quick and powerful. You can use an existing account or you can create a throwaway Gmail account just for this purpose. See Create a Gmail Account for instructions.
  2. Click the Gear button in the upper-right corner and select "Settings." This will open the Gmail settings menu.
  3. Scroll down to the Signature field in the "General" tab. You'll need to scroll down a little bit to find it.
  4. Use the signature editor to create the signature you want. Use the buttons above the text field to change the formatting and insert images and links. You can insert images from your computer or from your Google Drive account.
    • Note that any changes to the font will be reverted when you add the signature to your iPad.
  5. Send an email from your Gmail account to an email account on your iPad. Return to the Gmail inbox screen and click the "Compose" button in the upper-left corner. Send an email to one of the email accounts on your iPad. It doesn't have to have a subject or text.
    • If your Gmail account is associated with your iPad, you can just send the message to yourself from your computer.
  6. Open the email on your iPad. The email from your Gmail account should appear after a few moments.
  7. Press and hold the signature until the magnifier appears. This will let you start selecting text and items in the message.
  8. Drag the bars to select the signature text and images. Make sure you've highlighted the entire signature, including any images in it.
  9. Select "Copy" from the menu that appears. This will copy the entire signature to your iPhone's clipboard.
  10. Open the Settings app and select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." This will display your mail account settings.
  11. Tap the "Signature" option. You'll see your account signatures.
  12. Tap the field for the signature you want to change. This will place the cursor in the field. Delete any signature already there that you don't want to use.
  13. Press and hold the text field until the magnifier appears. You'll see the menu appear above the cursor.
  14. Select "Paste" from the menu. This will paste the entire HTML signature into the field, including any images and links.
  15. Make any necessary adjustments. Some formatting may not have copied properly, so make any adjustments to the signature to make sure it looks good.
  16. Return to the previous menu to save your changes. Tap the "< Mail" button in the upper-left corner to save the changes to your signature. It will automatically be attached to any messages sent from that email account.
