Step by step

Install in Mail on Mac

  1. 1

    Copy from Sign Pulsar

    Open the paid Studio, select the finished signature, and use Copy & install. Keep the browser open until the Mail setup is complete.

  2. 2

    Choose the correct account

    In Mail, choose Mail → Settings → Signatures. Select the account that should use the new signature, then choose the plus button to create it.

  3. 3

    Paste and preserve styling

    Give the signature a recognizable name and paste into the right-hand editor. If you want to keep the pasted design's typography, turn off Always match my default message font.

  4. 4

    Choose the default signature

    Use the Choose Signature menu for the selected account. You can also leave the default unset and insert the signature manually when composing.

  5. 5

    Test a new message and reply

    Send to a non-Apple inbox, confirm every link and image, then reply to that message and check placement above quoted text.

Fictional example

Example: a work signature on one Mac account

Ana Costa adds a full Cinder & Bloom signature only to her work account, turns off font matching to retain the intended hierarchy, and chooses it for new messages. She leaves her personal account unchanged and tests the work signature in Gmail and Outlook.

Specific answers

Questions about this guide

Should I turn off Always match my default message font?

Turn it off if you want Apple Mail to retain the typography pasted from Sign Pulsar. Leave it on if you prefer Mail to restyle the signature to match your default message font.

Why is the signature on the wrong account?

Mail stores signatures by account. Return to Mail → Settings → Signatures, select the intended account, and check its Choose Signature menu.

Does this also install the signature on iPhone?

No. This walkthrough is for Mail on Mac. Configure and test iPhone or iPad Mail separately because its signature settings and rich-content behavior differ.

Build the design before opening Mail settings.
