How To Create Signature With Logo In Outlook
- Home
- Software
- Microsoft Office
Hi there,
I recently created a vbscript to deploy our company signature through group policy. It grabs the info from Active Directory and everything works like a charm with the exception of our company logo. The image size seems OK when creating the email, but once it is sent Outlook seems to be re-sizing the image, causing it to look blurry and quite a bit larger than it should. I tried changing the DPI of the image using Photoshop but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The unusual thing is that 90% of the users aren't having this issue. Is there possibly a setting that is local to their machines that I am missing? Any help is much appreciated. We are using Outlook 2010.

This usually happens when you are using a picture other than 96dpi.
When inserting a picture, Outlook will rescale the image as if it was a 96dpi image. This means that if you have a picture of 150dpi with a height off 88px, it will be displayed as an image of 56px high;
88px/150dpi * 96dpi = 56px
It even gets worse; upon sending, Outlook will convert and compress (re-render) the images to 96dpi with the new dimensions permanently! This means that all the "detailed" picture information is lost and you'll be sending an image of 96dpi which is 56px high. This is of course a severe and very visible quality loss.
If your picture is less than 96dpi, then the opposite happens. A picture of 88px high with a dpi of 32 would then result in a 96dpi image of 264px high. So the result will be a very large image (but this time you can resize it back without the image becoming blurry).

With the HTML you are using to setup the signature, did you specify the dimensions of the picture? If not, just add in width="---px" height="---px" inside the <img> tag.
Sorry, I'm not much of a scripter but this is the code I used for the logo:
objSelection.InlineShapes.AddPicture("path to picture")
objDoc.InlineShapes(1).Height = 120
objDoc.InlineShapes(1).Width = 120

Thanks for the link. Helps me to understand what I'm dealing with better than before.
It's a bug in Windows 7 where the senders text-display-size preference settings under control
panel (125% or 150%) causes enlarged display of email images (but not fonts).

I had same symptom and here is my resolution.
Outlook seems to create signature from MS Word engine.
Thus ppi (pixel per inch) setting inherit from MS Word options.
In order to make it fit, you need to change the image ppi setting.
Here is the procedure.
-> Go into MS Word.
-> Click the File tab.Click Options and then click Advanced.
-> Under Image Size and Quality, there is "Set default target output to" setting.
-> Please make sure that Pixels per inch is set to 96 ppi.
Originally, it was 220 ppi. After change this, problem solved.
Now you will be able to insert Picture into Signature without issue.
Hope this help to other users who having same symptom~
Hi
I had the sames pb...
The solution :
- right clik on your desktop screen
- click on personalise
- choose display
- change zoom to 100% (not 125%)
- restart PC
It seems be be present only in Windows 7
That is a great solution until one of your MS users switches everything back to 150%.
Is there a way to keep MS Word at 96 ppi? It seems that it won't hold that setting, it just keeps reverting to 220 ppi at 150%. Seems like the two are linked, but I could be wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
