How to Add Social Media Icons to Your Email Signature Using SyncSignature?

2 min read

Adding social media icons to your email signature not only enhances brand visibility but also encourages engagement by giving recipients quick access to your social channels. With SyncSignature, you can design and deploy polished, clickable social media icons across your signatures or templates effectively.

Why Use Social Media Icons in Your Email Signature? #

  1. Visual appeal and conversions: Icons stand out more than plain text links and lead to higher click rates.
  2. Brand cohesion: Consistent icon styles improve your signature’s overall look and professionalism.
  3. Drive engagement: They act as passive marketing tools—encouraging your audience to follow or connect with your brand.

Step 1: Choose the Right Platforms #

Select only the platforms where you’re most active – typically 2 to 4 icons is ideal to avoid clutter.

Suggested platforms:

LinkedIn (B2B or professional networking)

Instagram or TikTok (visual content/consumer-facing brands)

Facebook (community engagement)

X (Twitter) (announcements, thought leadership)

Step 2: Choose Icons for your Signature from SyncSignature #

With SyncSignature, this becomes effortless:

  1. Open the Signature Editor in SyncSignature.
  2. Add your social media icons.

Optional: Source or Generate High-Quality Icons (if absolutely necessary) #

SyncSignature provides out of the box social icons and their variations to choose from. But if you absolutely have to, it also provides a way to upload your custom social media icons.

NOTE: Use this option ONLY if you absolutely have to!

Use clean, consistent icons to elevate your signature:

Download professionally designed PNG or SVG icons from resources like Flaticon, Icons8, or signature icon libraries.

Ensure uniform sizing and format, typically 16×16 to 24×24 pixels works well.

Use PNG for clarity across devices.

Step 4: Add Clickable Links #

Make icons functional:

  1. Select each icon in the editor.
  2. Add the corresponding social profile URL (e.g., https://linkedin.com/yourprofile).
  3. Optionally, include UTM parameters to track click-throughs from emails.

Step 5: Preview, Test & Optimize #

  1. Preview your signature in SyncSignature.
  2. Send test emails to various clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail) and devices.
  3. Confirm icons display correctly and links are functional.
  4. Ensure no icon overload—keep it clean and purposeful.
