How do you sign a PDF for free?

EsigIt's free PDF signer signs a PDF in your browser in 3 steps: open the file, place your signature, initials, date or text, and download the signed copy. No account, no watermark.

Nothing is uploaded. Your browser reads the file and writes the signed one. I never see it, and neither does anyone else.

Why is EsigIt's PDF signer free?

EsigIt's PDF signer is free because it costs nothing to run. The PDF never leaves your browser, so there's no server work, no storage and no email to pay for. I'd rather give that away than charge for it.

When do you need EsigIt's $1.99 send-for-signature instead?

You need EsigIt's $1.99 send-for-signature when someone else has to sign. This tool signs for you, on your device. It can't send a contract to your client, check that the person signing is who you think, or prove when they signed.

Send-for-signature does that for $1.99 a document, charged only when everyone has signed. Each signer confirms a 6-digit code we email them. Every step is logged in a hash-chained audit trail, and the signed PDF ends with a certificate page.

Questions

Is a free electronic signature legally binding?

A free electronic signature is legally binding for most US business documents under the federal ESIGN Act of 2000 and state UETA laws. Those laws treat an electronic signature like ink when the person meant to sign. What a free self-sign tool can't give you is proof of who signed and when. If that could matter later, send the document through EsigIt for $1.99 and you get an email code check, an audit trail and a certificate page. More on the law.

Do you upload or keep my PDF?

EsigIt never uploads or keeps the PDF you sign here. Your browser opens it and writes the signed copy. The file is never sent to EsigIt or anyone else. You can check: open your browser's network tab while you sign and watch. Nothing with your file goes out.

Is there a watermark on the signed PDF?

EsigIt puts no watermark on the signed PDF. The download has your signature and whatever you added. Nothing else.

Can I sign a PDF on my phone?

EsigIt's free signer works on a phone. Draw your signature with your finger, or type your name and it is set in a signature-style font.

What if my PDF is locked or password-protected?

EsigIt's free signer can sign a locked PDF that opens without a password. It copies each page as an image so you can still sign it. It looks the same, but the text won't be selectable in the signed copy. If it needs a password to open, remove the password first.

How do I get someone else to sign my PDF?

EsigIt's send-for-signature gets someone else to sign for $1.99 per document, charged only when everyone has signed. Upload the PDF, add their name and email, and drag the signature box where they sign. They sign on their phone with no account.
