Why you need an eSignature today

Work faster

‍

Paper, printers, and scanners used to be the norm. Signing a contract meant waiting, mailing, or commuting. That’s no longer the case. Electronic signatures or eSignatures are now standard, especially since remote work went mainstream.

‍

In 2021, over 65% of U.S. companies adopted digital document workflows. The switch wasn’t just about convenience, it became essential.

‍

Today, you can create an eSignature and sign a document right from your phone in under a minute. It’s faster, safer, and simpler than you might think.

‍

‍

An electronic signature is

‍

An eSignature is a digital way to sign a document and confirm your agreement. It can be a handwritten name drawn on screen, typed text in a selected style, or even an uploaded image of your real signature.

‍

People use them for freelance contracts, NDAs, apartment rentals, budget approvals – the list is endless.

‍

Most platforms let you create e signature online with no fuss. Upload your document, add the signature, send. That’s it.

‍

And this isn’t a niche thing – the eSignature market is set to grow from $5.3B in 2022 to $25B+ by 2030. The paper age is ending.

‍

‍

‍

it`s secure

‍

Yes, and that’s not just a marketing promise. In the U.S., the ESIGN Act (in effect since 2000) gives full legal power to electronic signatures. In the EU, eIDAS has done the same since 2016.

‍

Your eSignature can be legally binding in court, in contracts, in financial documents.

‍

More than that, eSignatures are traceable. Each signed file contains metadata – who signed, when, and on what device. That’s something pen-and-paper can’t provide.

‍

It’s also far safer than just pasting an image of your signature into a Word file.

‍

‍

Where it’s especially useful

‍

eSignature shines in remote work – especially freelance. Designers, developers, marketers sign offers, contracts, and invoices without the wait.

‍

Small businesses use them to approve deals, send proposals, and close projects in hours, not weeks. HR teams onboard new hires across countries.

‍

Even in daily life it’s useful, sending a parental consent form, signing a rental agreement, or approving a one-time deal.

‍

84% of users say eSignatures have made their workflow at least 3x faster, according to Adobe research.
