No website neededAny email

Email signatures that move, and stay up to date for the whole team.

  • Works with any email address, no website needed
  • 98 original templates, 23 of them free
Illustration with sample dataIllustration: an email from Avery Morgan, Client Success Lead at a fictional business, Fernhill Partners, about a kitchen refresh estimate. Under the message, a handwritten signature draws itself, then the email signature: a round animated monogram portrait of Avery with a light sweeping across it, the name, title and company, a phone number and website, four social icons that pulse gently, and a Book a visit button.

New: Spotlight

Put your photo in the spotlight

Your photo, split into slanted slices that slide into place, next to your logo, your details and a slim rail of social icons. The movement plays in the email itself, and Outlook shows the still photo.

Six animated designs come with Pro, two more with the photo in one slanted panel, and two still versions are free.

Templates

98 original templates, made for your line of work

From law firms and clinics to builders, studios and sales teams, in 19 categories. These are the real templates, drawn with sample details: pick one, then change any part of it in the designer.

How it works

From a template to every email you send

Choose a design, make it yours, add some motion, and paste it into your email app. Publish a new version whenever something changes.

The screens below are illustrations of the product with sample data.

  1. Step 1: Start from an original template

    Pick one of 98 templates made for 19 kinds of business, from real estate, law and healthcare to trades, sales and creative studios. Every thumbnail is the real signature drawn with sample details, so what you pick is what you get. 23 templates are free; Pro and up unlock them all.

    Illustration with sample dataThe template gallery with 98 templates, filtered by category. Six cards show Keyline (Professional, free), Encore (Animated, Pro), Front Porch (Real Estate, free), Envoy (Executive, Pro), Plumb Line (Contractor, Pro) and Brief (Legal, free), each drawn in its own layout with a photo or logo, text lines, buttons and icons.

  2. Step 2: Design it while you watch

    Add your photo, logo, contact details, social icons, buttons, a QR code or a disclaimer, and arrange them in one of six layouts. Click any part of the preview to change its text, link, colors and size, with your brand kit’s colors one click away. Undo and redo as you go, check the mobile view, and your draft saves itself.

    Illustration with sample dataThe designer: a top bar with undo and redo, a desktop and mobile switch, a Saved state and a Publish button. On the left, components grouped by Identity, Contact, Buttons and Media. In the middle, the live preview of Avery Morgan's signature in an email, with the Book a visit button selected. On the right, the button's settings: its label, a link to a Bookings service, the brand kit's colors, rounded corners and click tracking turned on.

  3. Step 3: Bring your photo and logo to life

    Upload a short video or GIF of up to 15 seconds, pick the moment to loop (up to 6 seconds), crop it and choose a square, rounded or round shape. Choose Quality, Balanced or Small file, and it becomes a looping GIF sized for email. No video? Animate a still photo (ring, light sweep, glow, zoom, reveal, split slices or slides) or your logo (wipe on, assemble, shine, glow and more), and let your social icons pulse, bounce, shine, pop, spin or wiggle. Animations come with Pro and up.

    Illustration with sample dataCreate animation: a 9-second video of Avery, with a square crop over the face and a 3-second segment chosen on the timeline, from 2.0 to 5.0 seconds. The shape is set to circle and the quality to Balanced. The result is ready: a round animated profile picture of 240 by 240 pixels, 36 frames, 214 KB.

  4. Step 4: Publish when it is ready

    Edits stay in your draft until you publish. Each publish is a numbered version with a note, and every image in it is hosted for you at its own address, so the emails you have already sent keep the version they went out with. Preview an earlier version, or restore it to your draft, whenever you like.

    Illustration with sample dataPublishing version 4 with the note Booking button: its animated photo, logo and four icons are hosted. Beside it, the Versions list: version 4 from today by Avery Morgan is current, version 3 from September 28 by Jordan Ellis and version 2 from September 12 can be previewed or restored to the draft.

  5. Step 5: See what gets clicked

    Links, buttons and social icons can go through a tracked short link that counts the click and sends people straight on. Analytics show clicks by day, your top links, social icons and destinations. Image loads are counted too, labeled “Image loads (approximate)”: image proxies (Gmail, Apple Mail Privacy Protection), caching and blocked images mean image loads are neither opens nor people. So there is no open rate, no click-through rate and nothing about who read your email.

    Illustration with sample dataAnalytics for the last 30 days: 312 clicks and 4,180 image loads, labeled Image loads (approximate). A bar chart shows clicks by day. Top links: Book a visit with 128 clicks, LinkedIn 64, the website 52 and Instagram 31. A note explains that image proxies, caching and blocked images mean image loads are neither opens nor people.

For teams

One design for everyone who sends your email

On the Team plan, one master signature is filled in for each person, up to 10 people (50 on Business), and campaign banners put your latest offer under every email.

  • A master signatureNames, titles, phone numbers and photos come from your team list through fields like {{first_name}} and {{title}}, so every signature matches without anyone editing their own.
  • Import from a spreadsheetUpload a CSV file: every row is checked, duplicate emails are found, and nothing is imported until you confirm.
  • Departments on BusinessGive sales, support or each office its own design, and let everyone else keep the company default.
Illustration with sample dataThe Team page: the master signature Fernhill standard is used by four people. Avery Morgan, Client Success Lead, in Client Success at Riverside; Jordan Ellis, Account Executive, in Sales at Riverside; Priya Natarajan, Designer, in Studio at Lakeview; Sam Okafor, Operations Manager, in Operations at Lakeview. An Import CSV button sits in the top bar.
  • A banner under every signatureUpload an image or a GIF, or design a text banner with a button, linked to your offer and counted like every other link.
  • Scheduled and targeted on BusinessSet the start and end in your time zone, and choose the departments, locations or people who show it. On Team, a campaign runs for everyone until you end it.
  • Gone when it endsWhen a campaign ends or you pause it, its banner leaves every signature, with nothing to reinstall.
Illustration with sample dataA running campaign under Jordan Ellis's signature: a banner for a fall open house on Saturday, October 18, from 10 AM to 2 PM, with a Reserve a spot button. The campaign runs from October 5 to October 18, for everyone, with clicks counted.

Install it in the email app you already use

PlugMatrix Signatures works with any email address and needs no website. Copy your signature in one click and paste it into your email app, with short steps for each one.

Gmail and Google Workspace

  1. In PlugMatrix Signatures, open Install and click Copy signature.
  2. In Gmail, open Settings, See all settings, then Signature, and create a new one.
  3. Paste it, choose it for new emails and replies, and save the changes.

Outlook

  1. Click Copy signature on the Outlook tab: there are steps for Outlook on the web, the new Outlook and classic Outlook for Windows.
  2. Open the signature settings of your Outlook and add a new signature.
  3. Paste it, save, and set it as your default.

Apple Mail

  1. Click Copy signature on the Apple Mail tab, for the Mac or for iPhone and iPad.
  2. On a Mac, add a signature in Mail’s settings; on iPhone and iPad, use the Mail signature setting.
  3. Paste it, then send yourself an email to see it in place.

Any other email app

  1. Use Copy HTML for apps that take a signature’s HTML, such as Yahoo Mail, Thunderbird or your help desk.
  2. Or copy the signature and paste it where your app keeps signatures.
  3. Every tab has its own short steps and a note on what that app supports.

Good to know

Email apps differ. Animated images play in most of them, but classic Outlook for Windows may show only the first frame. Gmail takes signatures of up to 10,000 characters, and the designer warns you before yours gets there.

Compatibility

  • The Gmail phone apps keep their own plain-text signature: this one is used from Gmail on the web.
  • Classic Outlook for Windows shows the first frame of an animation instead of playing it.

Questions, answered

Straight answers about how PlugMatrix Signatures works.

Works with the rest of PlugMatrix: Live Chat, Forms, Reviews, Bookings, SEO and Invoices

Does it work with my email address?

Yes, with any email address: Gmail and Google Workspace, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Apple Mail on Mac, iPhone and iPad, Yahoo Mail, and other apps where you can paste a signature. You don’t need a website, your own domain or an add-in. You design the signature in your PlugMatrix dashboard, copy it, and paste it into your email app.

Do animated signatures work in every email app?

Animated photos, logos and icons are GIF images, which play in most email apps. Classic Outlook for Windows may show only the first frame, so pick a starting moment that works as a still picture. Animations are kept to email-friendly sizes, and the dashboard warns you when one is over 500 KB.

What happens to my signature if I cancel?

Your published signatures keep working. For 180 days, their images keep showing the last version you published, and tracked links keep taking people where they should, for good: a link in an email you already sent never breaks. Editing, publishing and campaign banners stop, and clicks are no longer counted. After 180 days, the images are replaced by an invisible placeholder, never a broken or “expired” picture. Signatures on the Free plan keep working for as long as your account exists.

Can you see who opens my emails?

No. There is no tracking pixel, no cookie and nothing about the people you write to. PlugMatrix Signatures counts clicks on tracked links and how often your hosted images load. Image proxies (Gmail, Apple Mail Privacy Protection), caching and blocked images mean image loads are neither opens nor people. So image loads are labeled “Image loads (approximate)”, and you will never see an open rate. Email and phone links are never tracked.

Where are my photo and logo hosted?

With PlugMatrix. Every image in your signature, from your photo and logo to its icons and animations, is hosted for you, and each version has its own address, so an email you sent keeps the picture it was sent with. You don’t need a website or a file server.

Can I change my signature later?

Yes. Your edits are saved as a draft and go live when you publish. Each publish is a numbered version you can preview or restore later, and the Install page always gives you the latest one to copy into your email app.

What does the Free plan include?

One email signature with the 23 basic templates, your photo, logo and social icons (without animation), and a small “Made with PlugMatrix” line under it. Pro adds every template, animated photos, logos and icons, click analytics, and removes the line.

Can my whole team use the same design?

On the Team plan, one master design is filled in for up to 10 people from your team list, and campaign banners go under every signature. Business takes it to 50 people, with departments that have their own design and campaigns you schedule and target.

Which buttons can open my other PlugMatrix products?

Buttons can open your booking page or one of its services, your review page, or one of your published forms, picked from what you already have. A chat button links to the page of your website where your chat runs, and any button can link to a page of your choice: a menu, a price list or a video.

Make every email count

Pick a template, add your photo and a booking button, and paste it into your email app in minutes.
