How to sign a scanned document?

After scanning your document, you receive a file in PDF format or several images in JPG or PNG format. To create an electronic signature, you need to convert it into an interactive template that can be filled out and signed online or sent to a client for signing.

  1. Prepare your file(s) in PDF, JPG, or PNG format.
  2. Sign up on the DocuSeal website.
  3. Click the Upload button and select the file(s) you prepared for signing.
  4. On the right side of the screen, select Signature and drag it onto the document in the desired position. Add additional fields for filling out if necessary.
  5. Click Save and choose Sign It Yourself.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions and download the signed document. A copy will also be saved to your account and sent to the specified email address. You can also send the document to a client for signing by providing their email address or sharing a link available on the template page.

That’s it! You can now sign documents online and keep them secure. Any paper document can be scanned and signed online, saving you time and ensuring the safety of your documents.
