Email signature with image on iPhone

The original thread, below, does offer a potential solution, but it misses one important point (at least for me on my iPhone 12 running iOS 15.2,1 it's important), in that it only works with text AND an image if you enable All Accounts, which means one email signature across all accounts. Multiple text-only signatures work just fine, but it seems you can't have one signature with text and an image and the others text only. It still strips out the image.

The vast majority of people have one email address on their iPhone using Apple Mail, so using a common signature isn't an issue, but I have four accounts for different projects, so having to use the 'All Accounts' option is a royal pain. It's good that it works on the main account though.

e-mail signature on iPhone with image - Apple Community

To be honest, I may just go back to the Spark app as it's nothing short of brilliant and has none of Apples signature issues and faffing around.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

But what does this have to do with wanting email signatures with an image on an iPhone?

I completely agree @tbenton3. It's bad enough that email in general, in terms of functionality, is stuck in a time warp from twenty years ago, but that Apple clearly have zero interest in something as basic as being able to construct. a professional email signature is utterly beyond my comprehension.

And to think I moved from Android to Apple after a lifetime shunning Apple devices, only to find they can't even be arsed to sort out something this fundamental.

I absolutely cannot believe this is even a thing.

Depending on how a recipient’s mail server handles signatures, your signature may appear as an attachment or image to the recipient.

If you use iCloud Drive on your Mac and other devices, and have Mail selected in iCloud Drive options, your signatures are automatically updated and available on those devices. See Use iCloud Drive to store documents.

If you need to send a signed PDF document, you can use Markup in Mail to create a handwritten signature and add it to the document. You can also use the Preview app to fill out and sign PDF forms.

Email Signature Rescue resolves this issue. They use AWS S3, so I tried creating my own to upload client logos there for email signature. It does make them appear BUT the formatting gets thrown off. That said, I figured out a workaround using email signature rescue. I'll revisit when I'm not under tight timelines to figure out how to host the images my own AWS S3 server in a way that doesn't alter the html text formatting.

For now, the way I did it was to create a bare minimum email signature in Email Signature Rescue and then grab the img src html code, drop into my html and then use that for the client's email signature. Image appears in desktop Outlook Mac, desktop Outlook PC, iOS app Outlook, desktop Apple Mail, iOS Apple Mail app, and in gmail browser.

This can be done easily on a Mac. See the pics below. Simply Hold drag images and use Markup to edit.
