Three ways to use it

Sign, request, and track in one place

Whether you're signing a contract you've been sent, getting a few people to counter-sign your own document, or gathering signatures from a list — Flint handles all three without making you pick a different tool.

Sign it yourself

Got a contract that needs your signature? Drop the PDF, draw or type your name, place it on the page, download the signed file.

Request from one person

Drag a signature box, type their email, send. They click the link, sign in their browser, you get the signed PDF + audit log.

Multi-party signing

Two co-founders, a board, a lease with five names — add every recipient at once and we email each their unique link.

Electronic signatures, demystified

What counts as a signature in 2026?

An electronic signature is any mark — drawn, typed, or uploaded — that indicates a signer's intent to agree to a document. Under the US ESIGN Act, UETA, and the EU eIDAS regulation, an electronic signature carries the same legal weight as wet ink for the vast majority of agreements: contracts, NDAs, employment agreements, leases, statements of work, and far more.

What makes one defensible isn't the visual mark — it's the audit trail. Who signed, what they signed, when, and from where. Flint stamps that information directly into the final PDF — recipient email, signing timestamp, and a per-recipient token — so the signed document carries its own evidence.

Wills, certain real-estate filings, and a handful of court documents still require ink in most jurisdictions. Everything else? Browser-based signing is the modern default.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are electronic signatures legally binding?
In most jurisdictions, yes. In the United States the ESIGN Act and UETA give electronic signatures the same legal standing as wet-ink signatures for the vast majority of business and personal documents. The EU's eIDAS regulation does the same across member states. A handful of document types (wills, certain real-estate filings, some court documents) still require ink — check your local rules for those.
What's the difference between a signature and a digital signature?
An electronic signature is any digital mark indicating intent to sign — typing your name, drawing it on a touchscreen, or uploading a signature image. A digital signature is a specific cryptographic technique that binds a signature to the document mathematically using PKI. Flint produces electronic signatures with an audit trail (timestamp, email, IP) that holds up the same way most signing platforms do.
How does Flint verify the signer?
For request-a-signature flows, recipients click a unique tokenised link in their email. The signature is bound to that token, the recipient's email, the document, and an event timestamp. Each signed document carries an audit log showing who signed, when, and from which email — visible to the sender and stamped into the final PDF.
Can I sign on my phone?
Yes. Use a finger or stylus to draw your signature, or type your name and pick a handwriting font. Recipients can sign on their phone too — the request page is mobile-first.
Can multiple people sign the same document?
Yes. Add as many recipients as you need, drag a signature box for each onto the page, and we email everyone their unique signing link. The document is finalised once everyone has signed.
Are my files private?
Files are processed only for the action you trigger and stay tied to your account. Recipient signing pages are tokenised — only people with the link can access the document, and the link is single-purpose.
Is it free?
You can try signing in the browser without an account. Downloading the signed PDF and sending signature requests require a Flint Pro plan.
What's the maximum file size?
Flint Pro accepts PDFs up to 250 MB.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The entire flow — signing your own document, requesting signatures from others, audit-trail viewing — runs in your browser.
