Visit ziasign.com and click Get Started Free. Enter your email to receive a 6-digit one-time code, then enter the code to sign in — no passwords needed. You can also use Google SSO or Microsoft SSO for one-click access.
First-time users are prompted to complete their profile by entering their First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number. After that, you land on your Dashboard — the command center for all your documents, templates, and settings.
Upload Your First Document

Supported formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG — up to 25 MB per file.
Add Signature Fields
ZiaSign's AI Field Detection automatically suggests where signature, date, and name fields should go. You can also manually drag and drop fields from the toolbar:
| Field Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature | Legally binding e-signature (draw, type, or upload) |
| Initials | Signer's initials for page-level acknowledgment |
| Date Signed | Auto-filled with the signing date |
| Text | Free-form text input |
| Checkbox | For terms acceptance or option selection |
| Attachment | File upload field for supporting documents |
More field types: The API and template editor support additional field types including dropdown, radio, full name, email address, company, title, number, and note fields. See Sending Documents and Templates for details.
Add Recipients
Click Add Signer and enter each recipient's name, email, and role. Available roles include Signer, Approver, Carbon Copy (CC), Editor, Agent, In-Person Signer, and Intermediary.
You can set the signing order — recipients are added sequentially by default. To send to all recipients at once, set a recipient's order to 0 for parallel delivery.
Signing Order Options
- Sequential (default): Recipients are notified in order — each waits for the previous to complete
- Parallel: Set a recipient's order to 0 so they receive the request at the same time as others
Send for Signature
Click Send to dispatch the signing request. Each signer receives a branded email with a secure link to review and sign the document.
What happens next:
- Signers open the link in their browser (no account needed)
- They review the document and complete all assigned fields
- Once all parties sign, everyone receives a copy of the completed document
- ZiaSign generates a tamper-evident Audit Trail with timestamps, IP addresses, and authentication details
Next Steps
- Set up your first template to reuse documents you send often
- Enable AI contract analysis for instant clause detection
- Explore the API to integrate signing into your app
