When it's all done, and you have confirmed that it all works the way you want it to, send yourself one final email, but make sure to send it to an address that you can check on your iPhone or iPad. If there's a problem, fix the problem until it's working exactly how you want it to (you can edit a link by going to Edit > Edit Link.). When you're done, send yourself a test email to make sure all the links work the way you expect them to. Continue doing this for the rest of your email signature. In this example, I want to embed a link to my website. Drag it to the appropriate location.This will open a new window prompting you for the URL you want to use when people click or tap on that link. Then just click once on the signature you want, and it’ll appear slap bang in the centre of the image. Open the toolbar and click on the Sign tool icon.

Scroll to the area you need to sign – if there are multiple pages it pays to be on the correct page before you bring up the signature.

Open the image or PDF file that you want to sign in Preview (or initiated Quick Look by selecting the file and pressing Space).

As we said above, as of macOS Mojave you don’t even need to open up Preview to do so. Once you’ve got a signature saved in Preview it’s incredibly easy to add it to this or any other image file in future. Try to hold it steady, and match the writing to the guide line.

But we find it hard to be accurate and prefer to write a signature the old-fashioned way on a white piece of paper and then hold it up to the webcam.

You can use a fingertip, but it’s more accurate if you use a stylus. Scribbling it on a trackpad is the quicker method (press any key when you’re finished, followed by Done).

There are two ways to create a digital signature: Trackpad, and Camera.

If you’ve created any signatures, they will be listed and available here, but you can also click Create Signature to make a new one, followed by Click Here to Begin.

You should now see the bar of editing features, starting with Text Selection on the lefthand end and including Sketch, Draw, Shapes and, seventh from the left, an icon that looks like a scrawled bit of handwriting.

Click the Markup Toolbox icon – the pen in a circle just to the left of the search field – to open the editing tools, if the toolbar isn’t open already.

Alternatively, depending on the file type simply double-clicking on a pdf or other image file may open it in Preview by default. Or just drag a file on to the Preview icon in the Dock, if it lives there. Note, we’ll walk you through using Preview to do this, but once you’ve got everything set up you will be able to insert the signature from Quick Look without even open the Preview app!
