You can change the signature that is inserted at the end of an e-mail message via the settings menu or “Settings” iPad. If iPad stores multiple email accounts, you can assign separate signatures to each account. You can also add HTML signatures with images and links by pre-generating them on a computer and adding them to iPad. If you want to add a manual (handwritten) signature, search for a signature maker app by entering the search keyword "signature" in the iPad App Store.

Method 1 of 2: Changing the Signature
Step 1. Open the settings menu or “Settings” on the iPad
You can find this icon on one of the device's home screens. The icon looks like a gear.
Step 2. Select “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”
The email account settings will appear after that.
Step 3. Touch the “Signature” option
The currently used signature for the email account will be displayed.
Step 4. Touch " Per Account " if you want to assign a different signature for each email account
By default, iPad assigns the same signature to every saved email account. By touching " Per Account ", a signature field for each account on iPad will appear so you can assign a different signature to each email account.
This option won't show if you don't have more than one account on iPad
Step 5. Remove the default signature
The default signature of the iPad is " Sent from my iPad ". You can touch the end of the text and use the keyboard to delete it.
Step 6. Type in the signature you want to use
Try to keep your signature short and concise, and include the most relevant information. Press the " Return " key on the on-screen keyboard to move to the next line.

Method 2 of 2: Creating an HTML Signature
Step 1. Sign in to your Gmail account on the computer
Create a new account if you don't have a Gmail account yet. You need to use Gmail to create and send a signature to iPad so that it can be added to the device.
While you don't have to use Gmail, the signature editor feature is very handy and powerful. You can use an existing account or create a disposable Gmail account for this purpose. Read the article on how to create a Gmail account for more instructions
Step 2. Click the gear button in the top right corner of the screen and select “Settings”
The Gmail account settings menu will open.
Step 3. Scroll to the signature field (“Signature”) on the “General” tab

Step 4. Access the signature editor feature to create custom signatures
Use the buttons above the text field to change the format and add images and links. You can insert pictures from your computer or Google Drive account.
Keep in mind that font changes will be reverted/undone when you add a signature to iPad
Step 5. Send an email from your Gmail account to an email account saved on your iPad
Return to the Gmail inbox page and click the " Compose " button in the top left corner of the screen. Send an email to one of the email accounts stored on your iPad. You don't have to include a subject or any text in the body of the message.
If your Gmail account is linked to an iPad, you can send messages to yourself on your computer
