Before Starting
Adding a banner to an Apple Mail email signature is fairly easy when you follow our step-by-step instructions below. However, you will first need to download a banner template and modify it as needed.
To make sure your banner displays properly on mobile devices, a good rule of thumb is to set the size of the banner (in HTML) to about 1/3 of its original dimensions. However, this can only be done by altering the dimensions of the image in the HTML code of your email signature, or by using a tool like Gimmio.
Before following the instructions below, you should first resize the downloaded banner image to the exact size you want it to be in the email signature since the size cannot be changed in the email signature itself.

How to Add a Banner in Apple Mail (iOS – iPhone/iPad)
It’s currently not possible to add a banner directly in Apple Mail (iOS – iPhone/iPad). This is because the Signature section doesn’t allow you to paste an image or add it from your photo library. However, you can still paste an email signature that already has a banner in it, into the Signature section.
In this case, we highly recommend using an email signature generator to add a banner to your email signature.
