If you are looking to add a picture file or logo to your Gmail signature without using any third-party service or application, there is a very simple process to do so. Here's how to add an image to your signature so that everybody can see it.
Insert an Image or Logo to Your Gmail Signature

To begin, you select a photo or picture from your PC, and send it to yourself in an email. You can do this by selecting
Create a new email and dragging and dropping the image file in the message body field. In the
CC field, enter your email address, and click
Send.
Once you receive the email, open the mail, and right-click on the image file. Select
Copy image URL.
Click on the
Settings cog icon that is located at the top right corner of your mailbox, and scroll down to the
Signature section.
Next, click on the
Insert Image option, and paste the URL of your image in the appropriate field. A preview of your image will appear, allowing you to edit the file (crop, resize) before saving it:
Once you have made all necessary changes, simply click
Save to finalize your signature.
