How to convert a plain text email signature to HTML

Contents

This post is also available in: Português

The Text to HTML tool converts simple text elements into an editable HTML email signature. After clicking on convert, you will transform your basic text signature into a customized and interactive version.

For example, you can add custom styling like bold text, links, a profile picture, or even your company logo to make your signature unique and professional.

Access the tool from the main menu, Signatures, Create new. Then, click on the Text to HTML link. Or directly on the link in the Bybrand dashboard.

Example of the feature:

Convert plain text email signature to HTML

Then, simply click on the Convert button and your signature will be transformed into HTML.

Wildcard elements

When you type an empty new line, a space element is created in the converted HTML signature.
When you type three short dashes ---, a line element is created.
When inserting the [logo] element, an image is added to insert the logo.
When inserting the [icons] element, a block with icons is added.

Steps in Bybrand

Here are the steps to convert a text-only signature to interactive HTML in Bybrand.

Access the Bybrand platform and log in to your account.
Click to create a new email signature.
Find the Text to HTML option.

Image example:

In the textarea, type one signature element per line. See three examples below.
Click the Convert button.
Now, your text-only signature has been converted to interactive HTML using the Bybrand editor. You can preview the signature and make any additional changes if desired.
In this second part, you can customize the elements, such as applying bold to phone, email, and address elements. Add links to URLs like the website and social media pages.
When everything is edited, click Save to save the signature to your account.

Remember to test the signature in different email clients to ensure it is displayed correctly.
