# eSignature

What is eSignature and how can the users sign using it?

eSignature, is a digital representation of a person's handwritten signature. It's used to electronically indicate an individual's consent or approval of a document or transaction. eSignatures serve the same purpose as physical signatures on paper documents but are created and stored electronically.

eSignatures are commonly used in various industries and for a wide range of documents, including contracts, agreements, invoices, tax forms, consent forms, and more.

* **eSignatures** : emSigner also supports the use of simple electronic signatures that are based on Click or Type to Sign, where the user can select from a variety of fonts and styles to sign the document.
