Email Signature Image Size Guide
Choose a signature image size that stays readable without overwhelming your email layout.
Best for: Anyone placing a signature image inside email clients or templates.
Signova tip: Test your favorite Signova output at the smallest real-world size you expect to use.
What matters more than pixel count
The key question is simple: can someone still recognize your signature without the image taking over the message?
In email, balance matters more than dramatic size.
A practical sizing approach
- Start with a moderate-width image, then scale down while checking clarity
- Leave enough whitespace around the signature so it does not feel cramped
- Always preview the email on both desktop and mobile
Signs the image is too large
- It pushes the email body downward
- It is the first thing people notice instead of your message
- It looks blurry after resizing inside the email client
Signs the image is too small
- The signature looks like a thin black line
- Important letter shapes disappear
- The file looks faint on high-resolution screens
