Adding an image to your signature

To add a picture in your signature just click on the "insert image" icon.

There are 2 ways for inserting the images.

First, you can upload the image directly from your local storage. Click the browse to search image on your local storage, set the size that you prefer, and then click insert.

Please, try to keep the image size as small as possible to enable a fast email experience for both the sender as well as the recipient. If you upload  a heavy image, like 10mb, it can affect the speed of sending and could potentially engage the spam filter on your recipient's side. 

In case any image exceeds 15kb, it shows as attachment in the web mail of Gmail, so if you want your Gmail recipients to see it as inline image, you need to use the one below 15kb.

You can use Squoosh app to optimize your image for the web. This can reduce the size in half without compromising quality.

Alternatively, you need to upload the image to an image hosting website first. After that, just paste the location of the image file in Mailbird. Usually, the link of the file location ends with the format of the image. So, for example, https://bla bla bla.jpg
