Online document signing is the process of adding your signature to a PDF document using a browser-based tool, without printing or scanning. You create your signature digitally (by drawing, typing, or uploading), place it on the document, and download a signed PDF that's ready to send. The signed document is legally equivalent to a printed-and-signed version in most jurisdictions.
Use cases include:
Signing a job offer letter received by email.
Signing a client contract without scheduling an in-person meeting.
Approving a vendor agreement quickly to unblock a project.
Signing a rental agreement remotely.
Adding your signature to an NDA before a business meeting.
Any document that needs your signature can be signed in minutes from anywhere.
Fast, simple, no hardware required.
