Question

How can I add a hyperlink or image to my signature?

Answer

Use Markdown formatting to add images and hyperlinks to your signature.

To add a hyperlink using Markdown

Go to account

1. Click your avatar at the top right corner and then View profile.
2. Under Signature on the left-hand panel, type down the Markdown text below. [Link display text] (https://www.zendesk.com)

Alternatively, you can add an image that is also a link using this Markdown:

[![alttext](imageurl)](linkurl)

• Replace (linkurl)with the link that you want the image to direct towards.
• Replace (imageurl)with the link to the hosted image. After resizing the image on your end, use any image host of your choice, for example imgur.com > Wait 5 seconds for your image to load > Right-click the image > Copy image link, this will return the link to paste instead of imageurl.

If you want to display the image but not include a clickable link, use this Markdown:

![](imageurl)

This functionality also applies to global and brand signatures.

Tip: Zendesk recommends using a PNG or JPEG file and sizing the image to a smaller size, between 5 KB to 50 KB.
