Hey there! Kathy here.
Have you ever wished you could switch up your email signature depending on who you’re writing to? That’s where multiple Gmail signatures come in handy! Perhaps you would like one signature for clients, another for networking, and a simpler one for quick responses. Instead of constantly editing or copying and pasting, Gmail makes it easy to set up and use different signatures with just a click.
As a solopreneur, this little feature can save you time, keep your communication organized, and help you show up professionally in every situation. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through how to set up multiple Gmail signatures and use them the right way so your emails always match the moment.
“If your business wears multiple hats, your email signature should too, switching styles should be just one click away.”
– Kathy Schneider
Having multiple Gmail signatures is like having a toolkit at your fingertips; you can choose the one that fits best for the task at hand. For example, you might have a detailed signature with your website, scheduling link, and social media icons for business outreach, but a shorter, more casual version for quick replies to people you already know. This flexibility means you don’t have to sacrifice professionalism or efficiency; you can simply adapt your signature to the context of the email.

How to Add and Use Multiple Gmail Signatures
Setting up multiple Gmail signatures is simple and gives you the flexibility to match your emails to different situations. Whether you want a detailed signature with links and social icons, a casual version for quick notes, or even seasonal/launch-specific sign-offs, Gmail makes it easy to create and switch between them.
Here’s how to get started:
Access Gmail Settings
Log in to your Gmail account. In the top right corner, click the Gear Icon (⚙️) to open Settings, then select See all settings.
Open the Signature Section
Under the General tab, scroll down until you find the Signature section. Here, you’ll see all of your current signatures. You can highlight one to edit, rename with the pencil icon, or delete it if it’s no longer needed.
Create a New Signature
Click Create New and give your signature a name (for example: Promo Offer, Holiday Greeting, or Casual Reply). This helps you stay organized when you’re juggling multiple options.
Customize Each Signature
Inside the editor, add your text, links, images, or logos. You might include your website and social icons in one, a special launch link in another, and keep one very simple for everyday messages. Gmail lets you adjust fonts and formatting to keep everything on-brand.
Switch Between Signatures in an Email
When you’re ready to compose an email, click Compose in Gmail and draft your message. At the bottom of your email, click the Pen Icon (Signature), and you’ll see a list of all the signatures you’ve created. Choose the one that best fits the email you’re sending, and it will instantly replace your default.
Test & Refine
Send yourself a test email for each of your signatures. This way, you can confirm that your links, images, and formatting look clean and professional before using them with clients or leads.
