Signature question

The Signature question makes it easy to collect legally valid electronic signatures right within your form, no need to send respondents to a separate tool. Whether you're gathering signed agreements, consent forms, or service contracts, this feature keeps the entire process seamless.

Respondents will have the option to type, draw, or upload their signature on the form.

• •Type — The respondent types their full name and it's displayed in a signature-style font.
• •Draw — The respondent uses their mouse or touchscreen to draw their signature.
• •Upload — The respondent uploads an image of their signature (up to 10 MB).

Each signed submission is stored securely within your account, locked to prevent edits, and can be downloaded as a PDF for your records.
