Outlook.com is Microsoft's free webmail service, and it's the successor to the discontinued Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail services. Outlook.com lets you create an email signature that's added to your emails automatically. Additionally, you can add an image to your signature to personalize it even further.

If you have an Outlook.com account with an older Hotmail address, the instructions to set up and format your email signature image are the same on Outlook.com.
