How do I sign documents online?
Upload your PDF or document to an e-signature platform like iContract, draw or type your signature, drop it onto the signature line, and download the signed copy. The signature is legally binding under the ESIGN Act and eIDAS in 60+ countries.
Signing a document online takes under 2 minutes:
1. Upload your PDF, Word, or image file to an e-signature service (iContract, DocuSign, Adobe Sign). 2. Place signature fields where each party needs to sign. 3. Sign by drawing with mouse/finger, typing your name in a script font, or uploading a signature image. 4. Add date, initials, or text fields as needed. 5. Download the signed PDF or send it to other signers via email.
The signed document includes an audit trail with the signer's IP address, timestamp, browser, and email — this is what makes it court-admissible.
To send a document for someone else to sign: enter their email, assign signature fields to them, and click send. They receive an email link, sign in their browser (no account required), and you get the fully-executed copy.
Legal status: e-signatures are valid under the ESIGN Act (US), UETA, eIDAS (EU), PIPEDA (Canada), and equivalent laws in 60+ countries. They have the same legal weight as wet ink for nearly all business documents.
Free options: iContract offers free e-signing with no account required. Upload at icontract.pro/sign-free.
