WeTransfer Sign works with any PDF, so it suits the full range of documents that news and media teams deal with: contributor agreements, talent release forms, interview consent forms, syndication contracts, freelance commissions, licensing agreements, and non-disclosure agreements. As long as you can save it as a PDF, you can upload it, add signature fields, and send it for signing.

No account is needed on the recipient's end. Signers receive an email with a personal link, verify their identity with a one-time code sent to their inbox, and sign directly from any browser or device. This keeps the process friction-free for contributors, sources, and external partners who may never have used WeTransfer before.

Yes. When you set up a document in WeTransfer Sign, you can assign signature fields to multiple signers, each of whom receives their own personal signing link. You can monitor completion in real time, so you can see at a glance who has signed and follow up with anyone who has not yet responded.

WeTransfer Sign provides a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) as defined under EU eIDAS, and an electronic signature under the U.S. Federal E-Sign Act. This level of signature is appropriate for most standard media and publishing agreements, including contributor contracts and licensing forms. For documents requiring a higher legal threshold, such as notarized or qualified signatures, you should seek separate legal advice on what your jurisdiction requires.

WeTransfer Sign is completely free to use, with no subscription required and no limits on the number of documents you can send for signing. Signature transfers are tracked separately from your regular WeTransfer file transfers, so using Sign has no impact on your transfer activity. Signed documents remain accessible via the original signing link for one year.
