Serve images from your own domain
By default, logos and banners in your signatures are served from images.signature.cat. You can serve them from a subdomain of your own domain instead - for example images.yourcompany.com. Mail clients fetch images from the sender's own domain more readily, so deliverability improves, and the URLs carry your brand.
Setup breaks nothing: until the domain is active, images keep loading from images.signature.cat, and after activation the switch happens automatically for newly rendered signatures. Templates stay unchanged.
Requirements
- An Admin access level in SignatureCat.
- Access to your domain's DNS settings.
- A subdomain (like
images.yourcompany.com). Apex domains (yourcompany.com) are not supported by design.
Set it up
- Open the image library from any template editor on Signatures (Logo or Banner button) and choose Use your own domain in the serving bar.
- Enter a subdomain - for example
images.yourcompany.com- and click Generate DNS records. - Add two DNS records at your DNS provider, exactly as shown:
- a CNAME record pointing the subdomain to
cdn.signature.cat(points the subdomain to us), - a TXT record proving domain ownership.
- a CNAME record pointing the subdomain to
- Wait for verification. SignatureCat checks the records automatically every few minutes; you can also click Check now. Activation usually takes a few minutes, sometimes up to an hour while DNS refreshes. The TLS certificate is issued for you.
The wizard shows one of three statuses: Waiting for DNS records, Domain active or Verification failed.
Once active: "New emails fetch images from your domain. Templates stay unchanged - the switch happens automatically."
Removing the domain
Removing the domain in the wizard switches image serving back to images.signature.cat automatically for new emails. Nothing breaks.
