File Upload

Open the Dashboard or your document list and create a new document by selecting the +New button, then click on +Document, and then choose:

1. Blank template — allows you to start from scratch in the PandaDoc editor. You can also select one of your pre-made templates

2.  Local file under Import from (see formats and limitations below) — allows you to upload your own file or convert a .docx file into an editable PandaDoc. You can also simply drag and drop your file to the upload area 

3. Google Drive, One Drive, Box, or Dropbox under Import from — allows you to upload your own file from your cloud storage

4. You can mix and match all options inside the document later

Note: The Free eSign plan supports only uploaded documents.  

Supported file formats for upload: .pdf, .png, .jpg, .jpeg and .docx.
