Graphical signature possible for Outlook on Android?

[SteveB7630]

Hi all!

Quick question with hopefully an equally quick answer: On Outlook on my desktop, I have added a graphical, clickable signature to my emails; it looks slick and professional.

However, when I tried to do the same thing on the Outlook app for Android, I couldn't see any option to add a graphic to the signature, let alone a clickable one. I send 99.9% of my emails from my phone and tablet - is there any way it can be added to my signature on those devices? I thought once added to my email on Outlook the signature setting would sync aross automatically.

I have tried doing it via Outlook from my tablet's browser but no luck. It doesn't work on my phone either. Any ideas? Or have I missed something obvious...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Good question, as I to, use a graphical signature from a PC.... Anyone?

I know the mobile Outlook app doesn't do graphical signatures. That's a Microsoft thing, and they'd have to implement it. There's possibly other third-party email apps that do, although I've never done this myself.

Hmm. After some digging, I came across the Outlook suggestions page full of people demanding that MS add this - it should've been there by default. So I guess no go for now which is annoying.

Here's a way that works on my phone (not necessarily "easy" depending on your skill level, but it's a way):



Tested and working on:

Samsung Galaxy S8, Android 9, Outlook for Android 4.0.57 (367)





Method 1 - Embedded image (using Base64 encoding)

----------

Go to https://www.base64-image.de/

Upload your logo to convert to Base64 format.

Copy the code in to an email on your PC and email to your Android phone.


Copy and paste the code in to Outlook's signature box, and then add the following to the front of it


<img src='


and this at the end of it


'>


The apostrophe's are important that they're the correct one's.

When I tried using the apostrophe on my Windows PC, it didn't like that one, so make sure you type it on the Android phone instead.


Note: once you've setup the sig, Outlook will turn it in to a weird coloured box if you go look directly at the signature box again.

If you need to edit your signature, you'll have to re-paste the code again to get the logo again.

Probably best to keep the email with the Base64 code in your drafts or another folder.








Method 2 - Link to image (using Base64 encoded URL)

----------

Go to https://mothereff.in/html-entities

Enter in the url to your logo

untick the box "only encode unsafe and non-ASCII characters"

highlight and copy the encoded URL

Email the encoded URL to your android phone


Copy and paste the code in to Outlook's signature box, and then add the following to the front of it


<img src="


and this at the end of it


">


The double-quotes are important that they're the correct one's.

When I tried using the double-quotes on my Windows PC, it didn't like those ones, so make sure you type it on the Android phone instead.

Note: once you've setup the sig, Outlook will turn it in to a weird coloured box if you go look directly at the signature box again.

If you need to edit your signature, you'll have to re-paste the code again to get the logo again.

Hi John. I thought I had tried your answer before and had gotten it working on my Samsung S9, but at some point (I have no idea when) it no longer worked. I am trying your solutions again and can't seem to get it working. For method 1, the site you give, base64-image is no longer working (been under "maintenance" for quite some time). Your second method also did not work and just put the actual text code in the signature. Any suggestions or are you able to help at all? Thank you so much.
