Sign a document yourself

You can sign a PDF yourself, without sending it to anyone. Signing yourself is unlimited on every plan and never counts toward your signature requests.

#Prepare the document

1. In your Drive, click Signature in the row of actions above the file list.

   You can also click New > Modify > Sign > Sign yourself, or, with Drime Desktop for Windows, right-click a PDF, DOC, DOCX or PNG file in your Drime folder, point to Drime, then choose Self-sign.

2. In Choose a PDF or image to sign, select the file, then click Choose.

   You can also upload a file from your computer with Upload files. PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP files are accepted, up to 50 MB each; images become PDF.

3. On Which signature level?, keep the level offered, then click Continue.

4. On Who should sign?, click I am the only signer.

   

5. Place your fields on the document: your signature, and the date or initials if you need them.

   In a phone's browser, fields cannot be placed: Drime shows Place fields on a larger screen. Use a computer, a tablet, or the Drime mobile app, which has its own step to place fields.

6. Click Sign.

#Sign

1. Click Start to go to your first field.

2. Click the signature field, then choose how to create your signature.

   Draw it with your mouse or finger, Type your name, or Upload an image of your signature.

   

   You can also save your signature and initials in Settings > Signature.

3. Fill in the other fields the same way.

4. On Ready to sign?, click Finalize.

   Accept the terms of service and the privacy policy first.

Done! confirms it. Your document is sealed and timestamped.

#Download the signed document

When the signature is done, choose Download the signed document, Download the audit trail, or Download all the documents and the audit trail.
