Why choose BuiltSign
Why not a loose image?
Anyone can copy a picture of your signature and put it under any document. It records nothing about who placed it or when, and later changes to the document do not show. Through BuiltSign your signature comes with a confirmed email address, the time of signing and a SHA-256 hash of the document, verifiable at builtsign.com/verify.
Works on your phone
Sign with your finger on the screen: the drawing area opens full screen, so you have plenty of room. Uploading and placing your signature work on your phone too.
No account needed
You only confirm your email address with a code. No password, no app and no subscription.
Only sent when you sign
What you draw here stays in this browser tab and is only sent when you sign a document. After that your signature is stored encrypted with the signed document, as evidence.
A signature you place in your PDF through BuiltSign is a simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS. It is legally usable for most business documents; how much evidence it provides depends on the audit trail that comes with it. Some documents, such as notarial deeds and wills, have their own rules.
Frequently asked questions about creating a signature
- As a rule, yes. Under the eIDAS regulation an electronic signature may not be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic. Through BuiltSign you place a simple electronic signature (SES) with a confirmed email address, a document hash and an audit certificate. Those determine how strong your evidence is. It is not suitable for notarial deeds, wills and other documents with their own form requirements.
- Not by us while you are on this page: your signature stays in this browser tab until you sign. Once you place it in a document, it is stored encrypted with the signed document, as evidence of the signing. With QuickSign the document itself is deleted after 7 days; the audit certificate stays verifiable.
- No, and that is on purpose. Anyone can put a loose image of your signature under any document, with no way to see who did it or when. That is why you only use it here to sign a document straight away, with an audit certificate as evidence.

- Yes. You sign with your finger in a full-screen drawing area, and you can upload and sign your PDF from your phone too. Turn your phone sideways if you want more room.
