FAQ

PDF E-Signature Questions, Answered

Have questions about legal enforceability, security, or signer access? We have answers.

Yes. Electronic signatures collected via Drops comply with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), as well as EU eIDAS standards for electronic signatures. Every signed document generates a cryptographic audit certificate with a SHA-256 fingerprint, timestamp, IP address, and signer consent declaration.

No. Signers can open your signing link in any modern web browser on an iPhone, Android phone, iPad, Mac, or PC. They do not need to register, remember a password, or download any software. They simply review the document, draw or type their signature, agree to legal consent, and click submit.

As soon as a signer completes your document, their record immediately appears in your live signatures tracker. You can view the signer’s name, email, time signed, and visual signature thumbnail, and click "Download Signed PDF" to download the finalized document with the certified execution page attached. If you claim the link to your Drops account, all signed documents are stored permanently in your dashboard.

DocuSign and PandaDoc charge hefty monthly subscriptions (often $10–$40/user/month) and frequently force signers into marketing funnels or account prompts. Drops is 100% free to start without a credit card, lets you generate a shareable signing link or QR code in seconds, and provides a clean, distraction-free signing portal with instant real-time tracking.

Yes. When configuring your signing link, toggle the "Password Protect Signing Link" option and enter a passcode. Signers must enter this passcode before they can view the document contents or submit a signature.

Any standard PDF up to 50MB. This includes Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), independent contractor contracts, client proposals, lease agreements, waiver forms, invoices, and employment offer letters.
