How to create a signature in Yahoo Mail

To create a professional Yahoo Mail signature you’ll have to do 1 o3 things:

  1. Manually create your signature in the Yahoo in-app signature editor
  2. Generate your signature with an email signature generator
  3. Use premade Yahoo email signature HTML templates

The first option is probably the weakest and most tedious option. It’ll take the longest and give you the least professional result. 

For the second option, you can use our email signature maker, which includes templates, add ons, and custom design options. It will even auto-install the signature in your Yahoo for you.

The third option is a good way to go if you’re a visual person and you’d like to see your options right on the get-go. Below you can browse our most popular Yahoo signature templates used by our users.

For a professional outcome you need to ensure clean and responsive design as well as adding basic features to your Yahoo signature. 

Clean design means that you’ll need a basic information hierarchy with the more important things in bigger and bolder letters plus some kind of division between your signature’s different sections. Namely, your personal info, your contact info and your call to action.

The basic features that make a great Yahoo Mail signature are things that will add depth and trust. These come in the form of visual elements and links.

Feature that make a professional Yahoo signature:

  • An image of you
  • Social media icons (with links)
  • A call to action (this can be a banner, a video, a button or some text and link)
