Signing on mobile browsers

Recipients and authenticated users can complete Signelio workflows from modern mobile browsers. The mobile experience is route-owned so signing controls remain reachable on smaller screens.
Before you begin
A recipient or sender using a modern phone browser
A PDF that is readable on a smaller screen
A signature method that works comfortably on mobile
Prepare the document for smaller screens
Readable PDFs and clearly placed fields improve completion speed on phones.
Dense or cluttered pages make scrolling and signature placement harder.
Use the mobile signing flow
Authenticated mobile signing uses a route-owned workbench instead of the main workspace footer.
Public recipients can open their secure link directly in the browser and complete the workflow there.
Set expectations for the signer
If recipients are likely to sign on a phone, tell them whether typed, drawn, or uploaded signatures are acceptable for the workflow.
If the document is highly detailed, encourage them to rotate the device or switch to desktop if needed.
Pro Tips
Typed signatures are often the simplest option for first-time mobile signers.
Avoid tiny text or compressed layout in source PDFs.
Test one complete mobile signing path before a large rollout.
