Three ways to create your signature
Draw
Use your finger, mouse, or stylus to draw your signature directly on screen.
Type
Type your name and choose a cursive signature font. Looks like handwriting.
Upload
Upload a scanned image of your handwritten signature. Most authentic look.
Are electronic signatures legally binding?
Yes. Under the federal ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), electronic signatures have the same legal validity as handwritten signatures for most business documents, including contracts, agreements, NDAs, and purchase orders.
TextoraSign provides a complete audit trail for every signature: IP address, geolocation, device type, browser, and timestamp. This creates forensic-grade evidence that holds up in court.
Electronic signature vs digital signature
An electronic signature is any electronic representation of your intent to sign — a drawn signature, typed name, or uploaded image. A digital signature uses cryptographic encryption to verify the document hasn't been tampered with.
TextoraSign provides both. You sign with an electronic signature, and the completed document is sealed with SHA-256 cryptographic hashing — giving you the legal validity of an e-signature plus the tamper-proofing of a digital signature.
When you can't use electronic signatures
Most documents can be signed electronically. The exceptions are typically: wills and trusts, divorce decrees, court orders, and some real estate closing documents in certain states. When in doubt, check your local jurisdiction.
