Going on leave? Look professional while you're away.

A plain-text auto-reply works in a pinch. But if you want every email — in or out of office — to look on-brand, our team designs HTML email signatures with your logo, colours and social links.

Pair your OOO reply with a signature your whole team can roll out. See email signature packages or ask us about team rollout.

FAQ

Out of Office templates — questions, answered.

Is this really free?

Yes — the generator is completely free. No account, no payment, no catch. Copy, download or email yourself the reply at no cost.

How do I set this up in Gmail?

Copy your reply, then in Gmail go to Settings → See all settings → General → Vacation responder. Paste the body text, set your dates, and turn it on.

How do I set this up in Outlook?

In Outlook, go to File → Automatic Replies. Paste your generated text into the automatic reply message box and set your start and end dates.

Can I edit the wording?

Yes. Use "Show advanced options" to edit the subject line, opening, main body, urgent contact line and closing. The preview updates as you type.

What gets emailed when I request a copy?

We send your reply as a plain-text .txt attachment to the address you enter, so you can open it on any device and paste into your mail client later.

Do you store my email address?

Your address is only used to send the one-off copy you request. We don't add you to a mailing list from this tool.
