Hi,

I would like to add a picture to my signature, however I can only find
the possibility to add an URL. Since this picture is a local image on
my HD I have pasted
file:///D:/Users/Gebruiker/Documents/KPcollection/Visitekaartje.png
into the URL box, this does not seem to work. Is there an other way to
add a picture to my signature=

Thanks for replying,

Koen

Upload your image to a site like picasa, or any other online site offering file or picture sharing & storage - there are lots of free ones. That way, your image has a URL.
With some sites you may need to right-click and "view image" or "open image in new tab/window" in order to get the unique URL of the image.

You could use the custom signature lab, and copy and paste the image from your local storage too. If you're using chrome, I think it does drag and drop to put images into Gmail.

The add-on Better Gmail has some features that allow you to use html in gmail signatures, which includes things like turning images into links. I have not tried it with the New Look

    Yes, you can do it by creating a "Canned Response". Just create n email of just the signature, insert the picture you want, and click on "Canned responses" and select "New canned response" from the "New" header. When you want to use that signature with the picture, click on "Canned responses" and select the one you saved from the "Insert" header and it will be added. After you have done it a couple of times you will get used to how it works and can easily adjust it to look the way you want.
