Key Takeaways: Before You Start · Step-by-Step Instructions · Pro Tips · Troubleshooting

This step-by-step tutorial walks you through exactly how to accomplish this task using ZiaSign's free tools. No technical expertise required — just follow along.

Time required: 2-5 minutes Difficulty: Beginner Cost: Free

Before You Start

You'll need:

  • A device with a web browser (desktop, tablet, or phone)
  • The document you want to sign (PDF, DOCX, or image)
  • Email addresses of all signers (if sending to others)

No account is required for basic signing. Create a free account for saved templates, workflows, and signing history.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open ZiaSign Navigate to ziasign.com and select the appropriate tool or start a new signing workflow.

Step 2: Upload Your Document Drag and drop your document or click to browse. ZiaSign supports PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, and more.

Step 3: Configure Your Settings Choose your signing options — add signature fields, specify signer order, set deadlines, and customize email messages.

Step 4: Add Signers Enter the name and email of each person who needs to sign. Set the signing order if sequential signing is needed.

Step 5: Send or Sign Click send to distribute for signatures, or sign yourself if you're the sole signer. Track status in real-time.

Step 6: Download Once all signatures are collected, download the completed document with the full audit trail attached.

Pro Tips

  • Save as template: If you'll use this document type again, save it as a template for one-click reuse
  • Set reminders: Enable automatic reminders for signers who haven't completed — 3-day intervals work well
  • Use bulk send: Need the same document signed by many people? Use ZiaSign's bulk send feature
  • Mobile-friendly: Your signers can complete signing on any device — no app download required
  • API integration: For automated workflows, use ZiaSign's REST API to programmatically send and track documents

Troubleshooting

Document won't upload? Check the file size (25 MB limit for free users, 100 MB with account) and format (PDF, DOCX, images supported).

Signer didn't receive email? Check spam/junk folders. You can resend the signing request from your ZiaSign dashboard.

Can I recall a sent document? Yes. From your dashboard, select the document and click "Void" to cancel the signing request.

Is the signed document legally binding? Yes. ZiaSign signatures comply with ESIGN Act, UETA, and eIDAS regulations.
