Using Jotform’s powerful form builder, you can add an e-signature question to your form and get your users to sign the forms they complete.
Pro Tip
Collect signatures on any device for free with Jotform.
No more faxing!
It is 2013 and we are still printing dead trees, signing them with pen and faxing them over. If your form requires online signature to be finalized you do not need to waste any more time with the fax step. There is no difference between a Jotform form that has been submitted with an e-signature and a form that has been signed on paper and faxed to you.
Works on Mobile Browsers
Jotform e-signature is tested on iPads, iPhones and Android phones. It just works! The large size of the signing area allows your users to easily enter their signatures.
What Kinds of Forms may need E-signatures?
E-signature can be used on contracts, application forms, registration forms, online petitions, forms that require terms of service agreements, non-disclosure agreements, incident reporting, and human resources forms.
Legally Binding
E-signatures are legally binding in a great many countries, including the US, but we still recommend consulting with your lawyer.
Jotform records the IP address and time of the signature made so that also provides additional confirmation about the signer of the document.
Try it now!
You can create your first e-signature form right away! Simply add a Signature field to your form under Basic elements on the Form Builder.
You can also use our DocuSign or Adobe Sign integrations which are listed under Widgets tab.
E-signature field is under the Jotform Form Widgets gallery as well. So, to add it, you should click Add to Form after clicking on the signature widget you would like to use.

Hi, I’m having trouble with signing a signature
I am creating a website for my business. I want an electronic signature application form on it, so it can be signed and submitted immediately, how do I go about it, please.
Seriously, I cannot even begin how much I appreciate this feature is existing on JotForm.
I was feeling like a dinosaur, we are living in 2019 and we were still trying to get wet signatures from our clients driving around. Nowadays we are practically handling everything through our smart phones and computers. Now I look back at all the time wasted with the ancient methods that we used with regret.
Well, it is better late than never :) Now our efficiency and productivity levels are skyrocketed and it just keeps getting better. Most of the time we don't even have to spend an unnecessary second of face time with our clients and that makes both parties happy. Happy clients keep their business with us increasing our customer retention.
I want to first thank to Steve Jobs for introducing revolutionary products as iPhones and iPads and want to thank Jotform for keeping up with the technology and helping us save the most important thing in our lives: Time!
is this legating binding based on UETA and Esign Act?
where can i find a version of the contract that confirms signature of both parties?
What happened to e-signature -- where is it?
Is there anyway to prevent people from leaving partial signatures. We have some people that think they are so smart to avoid signing a required field that they place a few dots in the signature section. Anything such as it tracking the amount of space the mouse moves. Its a great form guys!
Dear Support,
I did like it very very much.Do you think it would be possible to add a localization field for the word "Clear" at the right bottom corner?
Best regards
Does the e-signature not work on a Winbook tablet? Can sign perfectly on a mac or iphone, but can't get the signature to work on our Winbook TW700 tablet.
Our form is below:

i do not see a powertools on the side of my toolbar
Hi, Is it free to get the E-Signature widget?
I uploaded my contract (jpeg) and then added the e-sign option at the bottom and submitted the form. When I look at the submission I only see the signature and the contract itself if not there. Any idea why?
Hey, around 880 hours since you posted this blog ... and this feature still doesn't deliver the signature in emails ... shame on you man ... who doesn't put a new feature working properly at the top of their priority list? This sucks ... massive red herring for me I'm afraid ... I'd have rather spent zero hours on this and known about it when it worked properly ... and been delighted :-( really disappointed
Add another user who does not receive the signature in the email report. I even created a new response on a form but no luck. It does appear in the reports but not the emaiols.
Any chance we can get ...
1) Signature in email
2) Signature in reports
Would like to deploy this but currently hopeless
Thanks
u guys rock!
When I receive the notification, I cant see the signature on the form.
This is amazing news! Does the signature count toward our file upload space? I know the image file size is very very tiny, I'm just wondering.
How do you get the hyperlink to work on Terms & Conditions ? tick option
Amazing!
The truth to be said, just adding this feature increases the value of jotform substantially. On the other hand, most would hesitate to sign on the web because it is simply difficult (using the mouse cannot produce a nice signature, and most would ask for an alternative). If the ipad/iphone option really exists, a note should inform the reader on this option, but this automatically add a step that some might not want to take. However, this is still a great addition and I salute you for this.
I already love Jotforms and I love it even more now. I was just about to find a service to do this form me and now, I have it thanks to JotForm.
I can also confirm that this is not working when embedded on a website. Very cool feature though! Just signed up today and I definitely needed this. I'm sure you'll work out the glitch soon.
you guys are just awesome!
this is what we have been looking for...now, if only this can all be integrated with Salesforce.com
this will be the next goal for you guys! ;o)
When I recieve the notification, i cant see the signature
This is amazing - I'm so impressed!
Great but when i tried it via
The field for signature doesn't appear.
Awesome! Thank you! Very helpful!
Hi,
Testing the e-signature a lot you'll notice ;-)It needs either the option to add a hint or a sub-label. Personally I think the sub-label is in the wrong place to provide instruction .. but a hint I feel is perfect. Why? You could add your own phrased instruction e.g. use your finger to draw your signature. If you're not happy press clear at bottom of box.
When I've tested it with people a couple have said "how do I add the signature then?"
Thanks, leave it with you
Regards mark
Is signing with a mouse a legal signature ?
Hi,
Have started testing the e-signature function.The signature function/pad does not work when embedding the source code into one's own page.
The pad itself is quite simply absent.
Please give it a whirl ... have tested it in all major browsers on desktop and on Iphone.
Thanks, Come back for more info if needs be.
Regards Mark
Thanks, mark
Fantastic. I'm delighted. Not available yet though?
Hi! I don't see the field in the power tools section. I've pulled up an existing form.
and how does someone "sign" the form?
Great Stuff! Professional.
