How to send a document for someone else to sign
Emailing a contract and waiting for the client to print, sign, scan and return it is where most of the delay happens. Many people do not even own a printer. The modern approach flips it: instead of explaining how to sign, you show them where to sign and they just tap the screen.
Steps to send a document to be signed
- Open the tool and choose "Send it to be signed". On iSignYourDocuments it is free and needs no registration.
- Upload the document or documents. You can upload several at once (PDF, Word or images).
- Mark where to sign. Click on the document to place "Sign here" fields, on any page and in any document.
- Add your own fields if you sign too. Switch to "I sign" and place your fields: you sign before sending, and your client receives it already signed by you.
- Generate the link and share it. Via WhatsApp, your own email, by copying it, or with a QR code if the person is in front of you.
- They sign. They open the link, see the marked spots, sign with a finger and download the copy.
Why marking where to sign changes everything
It is the difference between the client doing it right first time or returning the document signed in the wrong place. With marked fields, they only have to tap the highlighted boxes: no phone explanations, no checking afterwards.
Several documents, one link
If you have to send five documents, five separate links is a reliable way to get three signed and two forgotten. With a single link they see the full list, sign one after another and a progress bar shows how many are left.
Send your documents to be signed
Free, no sign-up, and one link even for several documents.

Frequently asked questions
Does the signer have to register?
No. They open the link, sign and download. No account, no app.
Can I sign the same document too?
Yes. You can place fields for yourself and for the client. You sign before sending, and they receive it already signed by you.
How long does the link last?
Links and documents are deleted automatically after 7 days. It protects privacy and creates healthy urgency.
Is it safe to share the link?
The link carries a random, unguessable identifier, but it works like a secret link: anyone holding it can view the document while it is valid. Share it only with those who must sign.
