Get my free signatureNo credit card required

Make one now — free, no account

Type your details, pick a layout, copy the result. Nothing is gated and nothing is watermarked: no email address, no signup, no trial clock.

Want your logo and brand colours pulled in automatically, the 13 designed templates, or the signature written straight into Gmail in one click? Open the full editor — still free.

What you get for free

The free plan is genuinely useful, not a locked demo. You can build a complete, professional signature and install it in your inbox without paying.

A real template

A clean, professional layout — not a watermark-covered placeholder.

Your logo & photo

Upload and crop both, with your brand colors applied.

Clickable contact details

Name, title, phone, email and website, all tappable.

Social links

Link your LinkedIn, X, Instagram and more.

One-click install

Push it into Gmail, or copy it into Outlook and Apple Mail.

Mobile-ready

Renders correctly on phones as well as desktop.

Free vs. Pro — the honest version

Free covers everyone who needs a solid, good-looking signature. Pro is for people who want to stand out and sell: premium photo-forward templates, a branded call-to-action button, promo banners, and fine-grained control over fonts and social-icon styles. You can start free and upgrade only if you want those extras.

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open the generator and enter your work email.
  2. Add your details and pick a template — your brand colors are applied automatically.
  3. Install it into Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail.

What free actually includes here

Full designer

Brand extraction, live preview, the complete editor — not a crippled demo.

A clean template free forever

Professional layout, no watermark on your details.

One-click Gmail install

The flagship feature is free — no card, no trial countdown.

Your data stays deletable

Settings → Danger zone deletes your account and data anytime.

Free vs Pro, honestly

Free gets you a complete, professional signature installed in Gmail. Pro (from a few dollars a month) unlocks the premium template set — photo-forward and design-led layouts — plus fine design controls (fonts, icon styles, colors) and priority banners. Teams pricing adds per-seat central management. If you're a solo professional starting out, free is genuinely enough; upgrade when the design options start feeling tight.

What 'free' usually costs

Most free signature tools are freemium, and the price is paid in one of four currencies. The most visible is a watermark — a “created with” line under your name that turns every email you send into someone else's advertising; WiseStamp's and MySignature's free tiers both do this (verified 26 July 2026). The second is feature-gating below usability: no logo upload, one social link, a single template. The third is hosted-asset expiry — if the tool hosts your signature's images, they can stop working when you stop paying, which quietly breaks every email you have ever sent. The fourth is simply manual effort: genuinely free copy-paste generators that make you rebuild and repaste for every change. Knowing which applies is the whole job of choosing one — we compare the market's watermark policies with dates on the no-watermark page.

What our free plan actually includes

A professional template, unwatermarked

The signature carries your name and brand only. There is no badge to remove, because we never add one.

Automatic brand import

Enter your work email and your logo, brand colours and social links are pulled from your website — the setup step other tools make you do by hand.

One-click Gmail install

Written into Gmail's settings through Google's API, so no copy-paste step and nothing gets mangled in the clipboard.

Email-safe HTML output

Inline-styled and table-based, so it renders in Outlook and Apple Mail too — and stays clickable rather than being a flat image.

Clean copy-paste for other clients

Outlook, Microsoft 365 and Apple Mail get properly formatted HTML.

What Pro adds

Premium templates and finer design controls — not watermark removal, and not the ability to install.

When free genuinely stops being enough

We would rather say this plainly than pretend otherwise: a free plan is the right answer for a solo professional and stops being the right answer the moment you have employees. The reason is not features, it is deployment. Once three or four people need the same branded signature, individually rebuilding it is how brand consistency dies — and no free tier solves that, ours included. That is what the Team plan exists for: one locked design, each person's details filled in, deployed per seat on top of a small monthly base fee. If you are a single owner today, take the free plan and ignore the upgrade until you hire. The tool comparison across the market is on best for small business.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it free forever or a trial?

The free plan is free to keep — it isn't a timed trial. You only pay if you choose to upgrade to Pro for premium templates and features.

Is there a watermark on the free signature?

No. Nothing we generate carries a badge or 'created with' line, on any plan — your signature contains only your own name, brand and links. Pro adds premium templates and finer design controls, not watermark removal.

Can I use it for my business?

Absolutely. Many freelancers and small businesses run entirely on the free plan. For multiple employees, see our team plan.

Is there a watermark on the free plan?

No, and there is nothing to remove when you upgrade. That is the main difference from WiseStamp's and MySignature's free tiers, which add a 'created with' line to every email you send (verified 26 July 2026).

Do free signatures expire?

No — a free signature installed in your Gmail stays there permanently, even if you never log in again.
