Inbox by Google has been a great success, the design and ease of use it brings to our email accounts are fantastic. However, compared to the standard Gmail interface, there are some things that are still missing from it and one such feature is rich text email Signatures, which is limited to only text. Here, we give you a workaround for adding or importing images, links and formatted text for Inbox signatures.

Default Option for Email Signatures in Inbox

Google’s option to add signature is absolutely basic with no text formatting tools at all. For a simple text-based signature, you can click the little hamburger icon located at the top left corner and head into settings. Turn on “Signature”, type in the text and you’re done!

Adding Rich Text Signature from Gmail to Inbox

Now let’s move on to adding a rich text signature with links and formatted text. The easiest way is to copy it directly from Gmail. Go the Gmail and open the settings page. Under the general tab, find “Signature” section.

First, make a signature if you haven’t already and copy it by selecting all and pressing Ctrl+C. Head over to your Inbox account and get in that Signature setting again, paste it there with Ctrl+V. Hit “Done” and You’re all set!

You now have an attractive signature on your Inbox account too. While writing an email, you won’t get a preview of that signature, however, it will be added automatically once you send it.
