  • Open the file by dragging it into the browser of your choice (e.g., Chrome, Safari, or Firefox).
  • Copy the signature by selecting the entire content (CTL + A) and copy (CTL + C). In some browsers, you may be able to Right Click > Select All and then Right Click > Copy.
  • Open Gmail settings: locate the Gear icon on the top right of the window. In the Dropdown menu, go to Settings.
