Full control

See all information signatories provide, including email addresses and phone numbers if you choose to collect them. Read more

AI assistant

Let AI suggest a title and text or refine your own draft, and generate an eye-catching cover image for your petition. The AI assistant can also translate your petition into other languages. It also suggests decision makers you could hand the petition over to. A separate Media assistant helps you draft a press release or a news tip about your petition. Read more

Export signatures

Download all signatures as an Excel file, a PDF, a CSV file or a printable page. Choose the columns and protect Excel and PDF files with a password. Read more

Team collaboration

Grant others permission to manage your petition. Choose a role for each person, such as update writer, translator, content editor or signature handler. Read more

Keep signatories up to date

Publish updates to keep signatories up to date on what has happened and what comes next. They are notified by email automatically. An AI assistant can help you write them. Read more

Detailed statistics

See how your petition performs: page views, unique visitors, and what share of your visitors go on to sign. See where your signatures come from: search engines, social media, links on other websites, or shares by your supporters. You can also see how many people opened and read each update email you send. Read more

Set a signature goal

Choose a signature goal for your petition, or let it adjust automatically as signatures come in. A progress bar shows visitors how close the petition is to its goal. Read more

Embed on your website

Add the signature form to your own website with a simple embed code, no coding needed. Read more

Rich content editor

Tell your story with more than words: add photos and videos right into your petition, plus links and formatted text. A strong image can move people to sign and share. Many petition platforms let you add only a single image and no video. Read more

Customize the signature form

Choose which details signatories are asked to provide and drag the fields into the order you want. Add your own questions too: a short or long text answer, a dropdown, checkboxes or radio buttons. For choice questions you can let signatories write their own answer. Read more

Transparent consent choices

You define the purposes for collecting personal data. Signatories decide for each purpose individually whether they consent. You can also arrange the consent questions in the order you prefer. Read more

Custom petition URL

Choose a short, memorable web address for your petition, for example Petitions.com/your-cause. Easy to share on flyers, posters, and in conversation. Read more

Public or private petitions

Choose if you want your petition to be listed publicly or kept out of petition lists, site search, and search engines. You can also protect a petition with a password that you share only with the people you choose. Read more

Multilingual petitions

Translate your petition into multiple languages. The AI assistant can do the translating for you. Language versions are cross-linked automatically and share one signature list.

We provide 46 language versions and use 30 domain names for them. Some language versions share the petitions.com domain through language-specific subdomains. A domain name that matches the language version makes it easier to remember and promote the petition.

See all language versions. Read more

Cloudflare protection

Petitions are served behind Cloudflare, the market leader in blocking automated traffic. Its captcha is widely considered the best available, and it stops most bots before they ever reach the signature form. Cloudflare also absorbs denial-of-service attacks and traffic spikes, so your petition keeps collecting signatures even when it draws unwanted attention. Read more

Every petition gets its own automatically generated privacy policy based on your choices during petition creation. Alternatively, you can provide the URL of your own privacy policy. Read more

Set retention periods

Decide how long personal data of the signatories is stored. Your choice is shown automatically in the petition's privacy policy, unless you provide the URL of your own privacy policy. Read more

Online or on paper

Collect signatures digitally and on paper, then combine them in a single petition. Read more

Choose who can sign

Accept signatures only from email addresses at the domains you choose, such as your workplace, school or organization, or exclude free and anonymous email addresses. Read more

Confirm with a code

If the confirmation link in the email does not open, signatories can confirm their signature with the code in the same email. Read more

What we do differently

No blind one-click signing

We don't let people sign based on a headline alone. Signatories always see the petition and its author before submitting their signature. One of the largest petition platforms offers one-click signing, but we believe signatories should know what they are signing and who the petition author is. Read more

We don't use your petition to grow our mailing list.

We only ask signatories for consent for purposes chosen by the petition author.

Many of the biggest platforms bundle their own marketing consents into the signature form of the petitions they are hosting. You can't opt in to petition updates without also agreeing to their emails. Read more

No automatic user accounts

Some petition platforms automatically create user accounts for signatories. Petitions.com lets people sign petitions without automatically creating an account for them. Read more

One Gmail address, one signature

Gmail ignores dots in an address: [email protected] and [email protected] are the same address to Google, and to us. Adding dots is one of the easiest ways to pad a petition with manipulated signatures from a single email account, and a large share of petition platforms still count every variation as a different person. Read more

More than a name and an email

Many petition platforms only let you collect fixed details. Here you can add your own questions with answer options. Read more

Language-specific domains

For the most popular languages on our service, we use language-specific domain names instead of putting every language version under one brand domain. A domain name that matches the language version makes the petition easier to remember and promote. Read more
