How to convert a plain text email signature to HTML

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.

The conversion to interactive HTML is simple and quick. Just follow a few steps in the Bybrand editor. You can set the desired width for the signature by choosing between the options of 600px, 480px, or 320px.

Example of the feature:

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

Wildcard elements
