Three products, one price

Everything you'd buy three tools for

The envelope workflow of the big e-sign suites, a developer-friendly template builder, and private one-click signing, together in one app.

Send for signature

Collect signatures from anyone, in any order, with proof at every step.

  • Multiple signers, sequential or parallel
  • Automatic reminders, deadlines, void and decline
  • Witnesses, access codes and in-person signing
  • Bulk send to hundreds from a spreadsheet
  • Certificate of completion with full audit trail

Templates & forms

Drag fields onto a PDF once, then send it a thousand times.

  • 13 field types: dropdowns, choices, numbers, images, attachments
  • Conditional fields that show and hide as people answer
  • Color-coded roles, private or shared templates
  • Public links for waivers and consent forms
  • API, webhooks and embeddable signing

Sign it yourself

Sign a PDF in seconds. The file never leaves your device.

  • No account, no upload, free forever
  • Type, draw or upload your signature
  • Place, resize, add dates and checkmarks
  • Works on phones, tablets and desktops

Signing order

Route to signers one after another, or all at once. The next person is invited automatically.

Guided signing

Signers are walked field-to-field with a "Next" button. No account, no app to install.

Certificate of completion

Every signed PDF includes who signed, when, from which IP, and every event in between.

Public verification

Anyone can check a document is authentic and unchanged. Only its fingerprint is sent.

Automatic reminders

Pending signers are nudged every few days until they sign. Envelopes expire on the date you choose.

Access codes

Add a second factor for sensitive documents. Share the code by phone or text.

Public form links

Share one link. Everyone who opens it signs their own copy, each with its own audit trail.

Teams & workspaces

Invite teammates as members or admins. Separate workspaces for each company or client.

REST API

Create envelopes from templates, fetch status and the full audit trail, and download sealed PDFs.

Signed webhooks

Get sent, viewed, signed, completed, declined and voided events, signed with HMAC.

Embedded signing

Put signing inside your product with one script tag, a web component or a React component.

Digitally signed PDFs

Every completed document carries a PDF digital signature, so readers like Adobe flag any later change.

Witness signing

Add a witness role, or let each signer nominate their own witness, who signs right after them.

Conditional fields

Show "Pet details" only if "I have pets" is ticked. Hidden fields are skipped and never stamped.

Bulk send

Upload a CSV and send a personal envelope to every row at once. Bad rows are reported, not fatal.

Your brand

Your logo and colors on signing pages, emails and certificates, with replies going to your inbox.

How it works

Signed in three steps

Upload & place fields

Drop in a PDF and drag signature, date and text fields where each person should fill them in.

Add signers & send

Enter names and emails, choose a signing order, and add a message. Each signer gets a personal, single-use link.

Get a sealed PDF

When everyone has signed, all parties receive a flattened PDF with a certificate of completion and a SHA-256 fingerprint.

For developers

Embed signing in your app in minutes

A clean REST API, signed webhooks, and official SDKs for the browser, React, Node.js and Python. Create an envelope from your backend, then show signing inside your product.

  • Drop-in embedOne script tag. Use <parapho-signing> or Parapho.mount(). The frame resizes itself and reports completed and declined events.
  • Hashed API keysKeys are shown once and stored only as hashes. Create and revoke them per workspace.
  • Verifiable webhooksHMAC-SHA256 with timestamps. The SDKs verify a webhook in one line.
  • Free sandboxsk_test_ keys create watermarked test envelopes. No emails are sent and nothing is billed.
  • Locked-down embeddingOnly origins you register can frame signing pages.

Security & privacy

Built for documents that matter

Signed agreements are among the most sensitive files you have. We treat them that way, by default, on every plan.

Mandatory two-factor

Every account uses an authenticator app. Codes can't be reused, and recovery codes work once.

Isolated by the database

Row-level security in PostgreSQL keeps each workspace's data separate, even if application code has a bug.

Encrypted everywhere

TLS in transit, and AES-256 with AWS KMS at rest. Signing links, API keys and recovery codes are stored only as hashes.

Tamper-evident

Completed documents are flattened, certified and fingerprinted. Change one byte and verification fails.

Private by design

No ad trackers or third-party scripts. Quick Sign and verification never upload your file.

Built to comply

Consent records under ESIGN, UETA and eIDAS, GDPR export and erasure, and a Data Processing Addendum in our Terms.

How can it be this cheap?

An e-signature costs very little to process. We run lean, efficient infrastructure, skip the enterprise sales team, and don't charge per seat. You pay for the product, not the overhead.

Are Parapho signatures legally binding?

Yes. Parapho is designed to meet the US ESIGN Act and UETA, the UK Electronic Communications Act and EU eIDAS (simple electronic signatures). Every signer consents to sign electronically, and every document includes a certificate of completion. Some document types, such as wills, may still need wet ink in your jurisdiction.

What counts as an envelope?

One document sent to one or more signers. Quick Sign, where you sign your own PDF in the browser, doesn't count and is always free and unlimited.

Do my signers need an account?

No. Signers open a personal link, agree to sign electronically, and sign on any device. Only senders need an account.

Where is my data stored?

On AWS in the United States (us-east-1), encrypted with AWS KMS. We never sell your data or use your documents to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of the billing period. You can export every sealed document before you go.

Your next agreement, signed today.

Free to start. Two minutes to your first sent envelope.
