Add a handwritten signature

Your signature can show an image of your handwritten signature. This is optional. You can capture it in three ways: draw it with the mouse, upload it as an image or draw it with your finger on your phone.

Where to find it

Complete your signature details → Handwritten signature → Draw, Upload or Mobile

Complete your signature details appears when you open a document for the first time, see Sign a document.

Draw

1. Choose Draw.
2. Sign in the box with your mouse, touchpad or finger.
3. Click Apply signature and then Save at the bottom.

Upload

1. Choose Upload.
2. Drag an image of your signature into the box, or click Open and choose the file.

Sign on your phone

On a computer without a touchscreen, signing on your phone often works better.

1. Choose Mobile. A QR code appears.
2. Scan it with your phone’s camera. A page for signing opens on your phone. With Copy signature link you can also send the link to your phone yourself instead.

1. Your phone shows Sign in the white box. Sign with your finger or a stylus.
2. If you do not like it, tap Start over.
3. Tap Apply. Signature sent appears. The signature now appears on the computer. Click Save there.

Good to know

• Hold your phone sideways. In portrait mode, Turn your phone sideways appears. Sign in portrait anyway lets you sign that way too.
• If your phone shows This link is no longer valid, scan the QR code on the computer again.
• Delete removes a captured signature again.
• The handwritten signature is only an image. The legal effect comes from the electronic signature.
• If you are a member of an organization, you manage your signature in your Profile.
