How to send a PDF for signature
Step 1
Upload your PDF
Drop in the document you need signed. It's encrypted in your browser straight away.
Step 2
Create the link
Get a private signing link, plus a status link to keep for yourself.
Step 3
Send it
Share the signing link by email or any way you like. Anyone with it can open and sign.
Step 4
Get the signed copy
Open your status link any time to download the signed PDF once it's done.
Get a signature without the heavy tooling
Getting one document signed by someone else usually means printing, scanning, or paying for a signing subscription you'll barely use. This free tool gives you a private link to send instead: drop in a PDF and your browser encrypts it before anything is stored, so it's end-to-end encrypted and we can never read it. Share the link however you like, the other person opens it, adds their signature right in their browser, and sends it straight back. You pick up the signed PDF from a private status link, and the stored copy auto-deletes after 14 days. No signup, no watermark, no per-document fees.
-
End-to-end encrypted
Your PDF is encrypted in your browser before it's stored. The key travels in the link, never to our servers, so we can't read your document.
-
Auto-deletes
The encrypted copy is held only long enough to be signed and picked up, then deletes itself automatically after 14 days.
-
Free & no signup
Send as many documents for signature as you like. No account, no watermark, no per-document fees.
When to use it
- Contracts & agreements. Send an NDA, order form or simple contract to a client and get it back signed the same day.
- Consent & approval forms. Collect a quick signature on a permission slip, waiver or approval without any software to install.
- Freelancers & small teams. Get the occasional document signed without paying for an e-signature subscription.
