Email signature does not align properly in gmail

[Selda2025]

Hello, 

After using Hubspot Email Signature Generator, I have copied and pasted signature into my gmail account. However, it does not align to the left. Ref screenshot. 

I've tried for hours to resolve this, but in vain. 

Can anyone help?

When you copy and paste a signature from HubSpot’s generator into Gmail, it sometimes carries hidden formatting that messes with the alignment. Try pasting it using Ctrl + Shift + V (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + V (Mac) instead of Ctrl + V to remove extra formatting.

If that doesn’t work, manually adjust it by selecting the entire signature in Gmail (Ctrl + A) and using the left-align button in the formatting toolbar. Another trick is pasting it into Google Docs, aligning it there, and then copying it back into Gmail.

If the issue persists, it might be a table or CSS alignment problem from HubSpot’s generator. If you can access the HTML code, look for text-align: center and change it to text-align: left to force proper alignment.

Hey, @Selda2025, you got to open the signature in a Coding tool like VSCode and look for the <td>, that defines the left column. Once found, set it to a certain width

For example:

<table>
...
<tr width="100%"> /* This is the table row that defines the whole row */
<td> /* left column; set a width here */
<img src="path-to-logo">
...
</td>
<td> /* right column */
<span style="bold">
Your name
</span>
...
</td>
</tr>
</table 

You can also provide the source code here, happy to check it for you

best,

In plain text editor, it makes signature lose its format. Looks not good.  

And the second option also makes the signature the same roughly. 

Any other suggestion? (:

Hey, @Selda2025, thanks for trying those options! 

If the signature still isn’t aligning properly, you could try recreating it using a simple table structure in HTML for better control. Also, ensure there are no extra spaces or line breaks in the code. @Anton and @LaurenRyan, any further tips to @Selda2025 ?

Thank you,

Pam

Hey @Selda2025, thank you for posting in our Community!

Sometimes Gmail adds extra formatting when pasting. Try pasting the signature into a plain text editor first, then copy it again and paste it into Gmail. 

If that doesn’t work, checking the alignment settings in Gmail’s signature editor or using the “Remove formatting” option might help.

Kindly,
