Sign your own PDF or send an agreement to somebody else.

Deliberately focused

Choose self-signing or recipient signing

Use Send an agreement when other people need to sign. Add up to four names and email addresses, review the request and Pen Free Signatures emails each private signing link for you.

• Up to four signers per PDF
• Hand-drawn or typed signature
• Signer full-name confirmation
• Server-recorded completion date
• Electronic signing certificate
• Tamper-evident audit evidence

Short retention

Documents are not kept as a permanent archive

A free signing service should not quietly become a permanent store of private agreements. Drafts and unsigned requests are removed after 30 days. Completed documents and their related signing data are removed seven days after completion.

Both parties should download and retain their own completed copy. The sender receives the completed PDF by email, which reduces the risk of missing the seven-day download window.

Suitable use

Built for ordinary agreements

Pen Free Signatures is intended for routine agreements where a simple electronic signature is appropriate. Examples may include uncomplicated freelance agreements, service confirmations, ordinary NDAs and internal approvals.

It is not designed for wills, powers of attorney, property transfers, deeds requiring witnesses, notarised documents or regulated identity-verification workflows. Requirements vary between countries and document types, so obtain professional advice where the form of signature matters.
