Two of the more popular ways to embed signature GIFs are within email or powerpoint (footer section of your email). Here are two quick videos to visually explain how to do this.

Whether you are using Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or another email provider, GIFS are allowed but the instructions to insert or embed the GIFs may be different between providers.
Typically a GIF will loop in a continuous animation within a 5-10 second duration. Within this duration of 5-10 seconds, minimal effects, styles and animation should be applied in order to reduce file size and loading times. Another consideration is speed, faster is not always better.

An idea to get you started – sometimes people like it when they have an animated signature that matches their real signature in the offline world. To get started, feel free to take a quick picture of your signature on a white background (piece of paper will do just fine) and upload it below.
Perhaps you’re looking for something to help supplement a digital greeting card or email footer.
Either way, looping GIFs can have as little or as much movement as you may need. The “Thank You” GIF attached on the page here could be replaced with your logo and some minimal animation or effects (glowing, color-changing, etc.) for whatever type of messaging you hope to get across.
Perhaps you want more than just your name animated? Let’s get fancy and include your name, email, phone number and more! If you’re looking for something that includes all your company information that is animated, I recommend GIF.
If however, you’re looking for your entire email signature to be interactive (without animation), I would look into the HTML signature route. This allows for buttons, social icons, phone numbers and email to be automatically directed all in one centralized location.
Here is an example of a drawn on signature style animation. It’s a simple GIF with a white background and two colors total. Dimensions are 200 x 100 (width x height). GIFs can be uploaded to websites easily and resized for email signatures.
