Add Social Media Icons to Email Signatures

Add social media icons to email signatures to let people easily follow you.

You are probably active on various social media networks. It is now uncommon for a business to not have some sort of social presence and whether you use something like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram, you want to be driving people to your social content on a regular basis.

Adding social media icons to email signatures is a great way to get loads of new fans for free!

It is easy to include social media links in email signatures but adding official social media icons looks so much more professional.

To add a social media icon, follow these simple steps.

Use social media icons for email signatures

To make matters easier, you can download social media icons for platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn below. Alternatively, copy the URL/s of the link icons to place directly in your email signature.

Add social media icons

You now need to add the social media icons to your email signature. Usually, this will be just below your contact details, but feel free to place them wherever you think is appropriate.

If you use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor in Outlook, Gmail or G Suite, you can use the Insert picture button to add your LinkedIn buttons and/or other icons.

If you're using Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) or Exchange, use the <img /> HTML tag, pointing to the web location of the image. This will look something like the example below:

<img src="https://www.exclaimer.com/content/images/twitter-35x35.gif" alt="Twitter Icon" />

Add a hyperlink to the social media icon

Using the WYSIWYG editor in Outlook is very easy. Select the social media icon, click the Add a hyperlink button in the top menu and enter the URL that leads to the relevant profile. The hyperlink should be the profile's full URL e.g. https://www.facebook.com/exclaimer or https://www.twitter.com/exclaimer.

To add hyperlinks to images in Gmail and G Suite, however, you will need to add the hyperlink to the HTML code first, and then paste the HTML signature design into the WYSIWG editor.

If you are working with raw HTML, locate the image code as above, then insert the HTML tags. The code should look similar to the example shown below:

<img src="https://www.exclaimer.com/content/images/twitter-35x35.gif" alt="Twitter Icon" /></a>

There you have it. You've successfully added social media icons to an email signature. To add more profiles, simply repeat the process as many times as you wish.
