FAQ

Is this a legally binding e-signature?

It places a genuine signature image onto the document; whether that meets legal requirements for a given use depends on your jurisdiction and the document type. For anything requiring a certified audit trail, use Send to Sign instead.

Can I reuse the same signature on future documents?

Draw or upload it fresh each time — the signature itself isn't saved between sessions on this tool.

What's the difference between this and Send to Sign?

This tool signs a document yourself, right now. Send to Sign sends it to someone else to sign, with a full audit trail of when they opened and signed it.
