Free document signing online, backed by the Reddit communities that built it
DocuSeal does what DocuSign does for €0/month instead of €0.50-€2 per document. No watermarks. No limits. Opsily handles the hosting so you focus on signing.
Why Opsily for free document signing online?
DocuSeal is free. But running it yourself means DevOps overhead: server management, SSL certificates, backups, scaling. Opsily removes that layer.
Daily encrypted backups
We back up your signing data every 24 hours with encryption at rest. If something breaks, we restore it. You never lose a signed document.
Deploy in 60 seconds
Click Install DocuSeal on Opsily. We handle provisioning, SSL, domain routing, and security updates. No Docker, no nginx, no late-night debugging.
Frankfurt servers by default
Your document data never leaves the EU. GDPR-compliant infrastructure with zero US data residency exposure. EU teams get data sovereignty.

Reddit communities switched to DocuSeal. Here's why.
Developers and founders on r/selfhosted, r/sysadmin, and r/startups got tired of DocuSign's math: 500 documents x €1/doc = €500/month for a feature that should cost nothing.
They found DocuSeal. Open-source. Free. No watermarks. No per-document fees. No vendor lock-in.
But they hit a wall: self-hosting meant provisioning servers, managing SSL, patching security updates, handling scaling. That's not signature software--that's infrastructure work.
Opsily solves the gap.
You get everything Reddit loves about DocuSeal (free, open, auditable) plus what teams actually need (someone else runs it). One click deploy. Daily backups. GDPR by default. No ops work.
The result: signing costs go from €500/month to €20/month. Plus you own your data. Plus you can leave whenever you want--there's no contract, no license, just a server you control.
That's why developers recommend it.
Common questions
DocuSeal itself is free forever—it's open-source software with no per-document fees, ever. On Opsily, you pay only for hosting (starting at €20/month for Small). That hosting covers DocuSeal plus up to 3 other apps. If you self-host DocuSeal on your own server, it costs €0. But then you're responsible for SSL, backups, security patches, and scaling. Most teams find Opsily's €20/month is cheaper than the DevOps time to self-host.
Stop paying per-signature fees.
