How to use Google Docs to sign documents

Google Docs is a perfect word processor that makes it easy to collaborate with your classmates or colleagues. Google Docs also helps work to be backed up and secure in your Google account. And you can even use Google Docs to sign documents.

This is exactly an alternative solution rather than an officially supported feature in Google Docs, so there are a few more steps to take. But this is a real signature, not merely typing your name on the document. This method prevents you from connecting to a third-party service with your Google account or printing documents out, signing, then taking photos and re-attaching them to an email.

1. To sign a document, start by importing it (usually an attachment) into Google Docs and opening it as a Google document.

5. Your signature will display in the document as an image, you can resize it to fit the line and drag it to the right position.

The article tried to recreate this process with the Google Docs app for mobile devices, but couldn't find the option to insert the drawing. So at least for the time being, you will need to use a computer to add signatures to Google documents.

Hope you are succesful.
