E-signature

E-signature for PDF documents, with a certificate of completion

Upload a PDF, add up to ten signers and send. They get a link, read the document and sign by typing or drawing their name, in the order you set or all at once. When the last person signs, you get a PDF with every signature on its page and a certificate of completion with hashes, times, IP addresses and the full event log.

Why upload.am

Why sign documents in upload.am

No account for signers

A signer only needs the link. Clients, contractors and counterparties sign in a minute without registering anywhere.

Order and reminders

Choose sequential signing, where the next person is notified only after the previous one signs, or send to everyone at once. Reminders go out automatically until the document is signed.

Evidence you can keep

The final PDF includes a certificate of completion with the document hash, the time and IP address of every action and the full event log.

Next to your files

The document, the signed copy and the certificate live in the same account as the rest of your files, with data rooms and client portals for delivery.

upload.am vs. a typical file hosting service

Most free file hosts give you one thing: a link. upload.am is cloud storage and backup with built-in secure file sharing built in. Here is the difference for this feature:

On the free plan upload.am Typical file host
Signers sign without creating an account Included Limited
Sequential signing order Included Paid plans only
Certificate of completion with hashes and event log Included Paid plans only
Automatic reminders to signers Included Paid plans only
Signed copy stored next to your other files Included Not available
Part of your storage plan, no per-envelope fee Included Not available
More than a file sharing link

Cloud storage, backup and secure sharing in one free account

upload.am is cloud storage and backup with secure file sharing built in: a cloud cabinet that keeps your files, a backup service that protects your folders and photos, a sync service that keeps your computer and your cabinet identical, and sharing controls (password, expiry, download limits) on top. One login, one storage pool, one set of links.

Cloud storage

25 GB free, folders, search, previews, versions and trash in your online file manager.

Backup service

The Windows app backs up the folders you choose. The Android app backs up photos, video, audio and contacts.

Sync service

Live sync in the Windows app keeps a folder identical on your PC and in your cabinet, including files added from the web.

Secure file sharing

Password, download limit, expiry, group links, Inbox and Drop Rooms.

What this signature is

upload.am offers a simple electronic signature: the signer confirms their identity through the personal link, then types or draws a name. The system records the time, IP address and a hash of the document, and puts the signatures on the page of the PDF.

It is not a qualified electronic signature (QES) and does not replace one where the law requires it. For most contracts, approvals, NDAs and acceptance forms a simple electronic signature with a full audit trail is what people actually use.

What you get in the finished file

  • Every signature printed on the page of the PDF.
  • A certificate of completion: the document hash, who signed, when, from which IP address and the full event log.
  • Automatic reminders for signers who have not signed yet.
  • Templates, so a repeating document goes out in two clicks (see work tools).

Which plans include it

E-signature is included from the Premium plan and in Premium GOLD, Business and Enterprise. A simpler click-to-sign confirmation inside a Drop Room is available from the Plus plan. The My plan page in your cabinet shows what your plan includes. See plans and pricing.
