Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about online document signing legality, security, and formats.
Is signing a PDF online with eZySign legally compliant?
Yes. eZySign is engineered to cover all statutory compliance requirements of the United States ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and EU eIDAS guidelines. While we do not hold certain optional third-party certifications, our platform covers all mandatory compliance criteria, including signer consent, tamper-evident document integrity, and cryptographic audit records.
Can I sign a PDF online for free without creating an account?
Yes! eZySign's online PDF signer is completely free for quick document execution. You can upload any PDF, draw or type your signature, stamp the date, and download the signed document without entering credit card details or forced account registration.
Does eZySign store my private or confidential uploaded documents?
No. Quick sign operations are processed locally in your browser memory. Your documents are never uploaded to public servers, scanned for ad tracking, or retained unless you explicitly save them to your secure encrypted eZySign cloud vault.
Can I sign on my iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or touch screen?
Absolutely. eZySign is fully responsive and optimized for mobile touchscreens, styluses, Apple Pencil, and desktop mice. You can also download our native iOS and Android apps for camera scanning and offline kiosk signing.
How do I send a PDF to multiple people for signature collection?
If you need other signers to add their signatures, click 'Send for Signatures'. You can assign signature fields, add recipient emails, set sequential signing orders, and automatically receive an immutable Certificate of Completion once everyone signs.
What is the difference between drawing, typing, and uploading a signature?
All three methods are legally valid. 'Draw' allows you to draw your signature with a stylus or finger. 'Type' lets you write your name and convert it into realistic calligraphy fonts. 'Upload' allows you to import a photo or scan of your physical wet ink signature.
