How to Sign a Word Document
Sign a Word (.docx) document the easy way: save it as a PDF, upload it to sign.pink, place your signature, and download a tamper-evident signed copy.
Microsoft Word does not have a true, verifiable e-signature built in. You can paste in an image of your signature, but anyone can copy that image into another file, and there is no record of who signed or when. The reliable way to sign a Word document is to turn it into a fixed-layout PDF first, then sign that PDF. sign.pink lets you do exactly that: upload your file, drop your signature where it belongs, and download a signed copy backed by a tamper-evident audit trail. Signers you invite do not need to create an account, and there are no envelope caps or per-seat fees.

Save your Word file as a PDF
Open the .docx in Microsoft Word and choose File, then Save As (or Export) and pick PDF as the format. On a Mac you can also use File, Print, then Save as PDF. Saving as a PDF locks the layout so your signature lands in the right place and the text cannot be reflowed.

Open sign.pink and upload the document
Go to sign.pink in any browser, on your phone or computer, and upload the PDF you just saved. You do not need to install anything. The document loads in the signing view so you can see every page exactly as it will be signed.

Place the signature field
Scroll to where the signature belongs and tap or click to drop a signature field. Add the date and any other fields you need, such as initials or a printed name, directly on the page.

Create and apply your signature
Draw your signature with your finger or mouse, type it, or upload an image of it. Position it inside the field and adjust the size so it sits cleanly on the signature line.

Send it to others to sign (optional)
If someone else needs to sign too, add their email and place a field for them. They get a link and can sign in their browser without creating an account. You can set the signing order if signatures must happen in sequence.

Finish and download the signed copy
Apply your signature to finalize the document. sign.pink seals it so any later change is detectable and records the signing in an audit trail showing who signed, when, and from where.

Save or share the result
Download the signed PDF and keep it for your records, or share the link with anyone who needs a copy. The original Word file stays untouched on your computer.
FAQ
Yes. Saving your Word file as a PDF first locks the layout, so your signature and date stay exactly where you place them. This is especially important for contracts where spacing and page breaks matter. Once it is a PDF, you upload it to sign.pink and sign it there.
