Built with AI — and tested by it

HireSign started as one line typed to Claude Code: "can you create me an app that makes digital signature on document such as word pdf easier? using mouse or digital pen or touchscreen." Claude built the signature pad, the PDF and Word signing, then drove the real app itself to test it: drawing with a simulated pen, placing signatures, saving and reopening the signed files. It caught and fixed bugs along the way, including one that would have corrupted Word files. It's a working example of what AutomationHire builds for businesses.

FAQ

I already bought HireSign for £1. Do I pay £9.99?

No — paste your HireSign licence key into the upgrade box at the top of this page and Pro costs £8.99, the difference. You get a new Pro key; paste it into HireSign and the Pro features unlock straight away.

How does it handle Word documents?

HireSign shows your .docx file page by page, you place your signature, and it saves either a PDF that matches what you see, or a new Word file with your signature added as a picture. Complex layouts can look slightly different from Microsoft Word, so for anything important we recommend saving as PDF.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. HireSign runs entirely on your PC. Your documents never leave it, and there's no account to create.

Is this a legally valid signature?

HireSign adds an electronic signature: your drawn, typed or uploaded signature placed on the document. In the UK, electronic signatures like this are accepted for most everyday documents, such as contracts, forms and letters. Some documents, such as certain deeds and property transfers, have special rules. If you're unsure, check with whoever asked for your signature. HireSign doesn't create certificate-based (cryptographic) digital signatures.

Does it work with a Surface Pen or graphics tablet?

Yes. HireSign reads pen pressure automatically, so your lines get thicker as you press harder. A "Pen only" option ignores your palm while you write on a touchscreen.

Does it change my original file?

No. HireSign always saves a separate signed copy, for example Contract - signed.pdf, next to the original.

Mac or Linux?

Windows only for now. Tell us if you'd like a Mac version.

Refund policy?

If HireSign doesn't install or work as described on Windows 10/11, email hello@automationhire.co.uk within 30 days for a full refund.

What's included under open-source licences?

HireSign uses Electron, PDF.js, pdf-lib, docx-preview and JSZip. Their licences are in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt in HireSign's install folder.
