Self-hosted platform for creating, filling, and signing PDFs
DocuSeal lets you build PDF forms, collect signatures, and manage documents securely across devices, with multi-language support, storage options, and API/webhook integration.
DocuSeal is a self‑hosted solution that enables businesses to create, fill, and sign PDF documents online. Its WYSIWYG form builder offers 12 field types—including signatures, dates, and file uploads—while supporting multiple submitters per document, automated email notifications, and built‑in e‑signature verification. The UI is mobile‑optimized and available in seven languages, with signing supported in fourteen languages, making it suitable for global teams.
The platform runs in a Docker container and defaults to an SQLite database, but can connect to PostgreSQL or MySQL via the DATABASE_URL environment variable. Files can be stored locally or on cloud services such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure. DocuSeal provides a REST API, webhooks, and embeddable components for React, Vue, Angular, or plain JavaScript, allowing seamless integration into existing web or mobile applications. Pro features like SSO, SMS verification, and bulk sending are available for enterprises that need advanced workflow automation.
When teams consider DocuSeal, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
