[Update]: For the most current information, see our latest article on using linked and embedded images in email signatures.
Photos, logotypes, various types of banners, social media icons, etc. are more and more becoming a crucial part of a professional email signature. Unfortunately not all email platforms offer an easy way of inserting pictures and graphics into footers.
The 2 options we will be looking at are:
- linked images – located on a web server and downloaded into the email each time it is viewed;
- embedded images (also known as inline images) – part of the email, sent together with the message as hidden attachments.
