  1. 01 / BRING YOUR DOCUMENT

    Upload a PDF or Word Document.

    Choose your PDF or DOCX file. Cigned prepares real page previews so you can see where your marks will go.

    • Start with a document that’s ready for stamping or signing.
    • Review the page layout, especially after Word conversion.
    • Your original stays available.

    Good to know: DOCX documents are converted to PDF for placement and output.

  2. 02 / MAKE IT YOURS

    Place Stamps, Signatures or Initials.

    Choose authorised stamp artwork, your personal signature, or your initials. Position them on the real pages.

    Team stamps: Your team administrator must grant permission before you can use them.

  3. 03 / CHECK BEFORE YOU FINISH

    Review Pages and Authorise Your Signature.

    Look over the pages and placements. Confirm your signature when applicable before creating your completed PDF.

    • Check the document, artwork and placement positions.
    • Make adjustments before producing the output.
    • Confirm that you’re authorised to apply each mark.

    Your review matters: Check the recipient’s requirements before replacing a paper process.

  4. 04 / TAKE YOUR FINISHED COPY

    Create and Download Your Completed PDF.

    Produce the completed PDF and download it. Your original document and previous outputs remain available.

    • Download a PDF with your applied marks.
    • Reopen saved drafts when you need to continue work.
    • Find earlier outputs in your document history.

    Keep the original: The downloaded result is a PDF, including when you start with a Word document.

CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

A Visual Mark, Applied Deliberately.

Stamp and signature images are visible document marks. They do not create a certificate-backed digital signature. Approval workflows, public verification and secure delivery are planned additions.
