Step by step
- 01
Open the contract
Upload the contract PDF to the signer. It loads in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
- 02
Sign and initial as required
Add your signature to the signature block and initials on any pages or clauses that call for them.
- 03
Date and return
Add the date, download the signed contract, and send it back to the other party.
Perfect for freelancers and small businesses
If you sign contracts regularly, a paid e-signature subscription is an unnecessary cost for what is often a single signature. A free browser signer handles the same job — place a signature, add a date, return the PDF — without per-document limits or monthly fees.
Because the contract never leaves your device, client terms and rates stay private, which matters when you are handling agreements for multiple clients.
Keep a clean record
After signing, save the final PDF alongside the email thread that accompanied it. For standard business contracts, the signed document plus the surrounding correspondence is normally sufficient evidence of agreement.
