Frequently Asked Questions

Is a signature added this way legally binding?

Often, yes — but it depends on the document and where you live. In many jurisdictions (for example under the U.S. ESIGN Act or the EU's eIDAS "simple electronic signature" tier), a drawn or typed signature image is widely accepted for everyday agreements like leases, freelance contracts, and consent forms. It is not a certificate-based qualified e-signature with a cryptographic audit trail, which services like DocuSign provide and which some regulated or high-stakes contexts require. When in doubt, ask the party requesting the signature what they accept. This is general information, not legal advice.

Is my document uploaded anywhere when I sign it?

No. The PDF is opened, previewed, signed, and saved entirely by JavaScript running in your browser tab. Neither the document nor your signature image is ever sent to our servers — you can verify this yourself in your browser's network tools. That matters, because the documents people sign are usually their most sensitive ones.

Can I sign with my finger on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The signature pad supports touch and stylus input, so you can draw a natural signature with your finger on a phone or with an Apple Pencil on an iPad. If drawing is awkward, switch to the "Type" tab and pick a handwriting style instead.

Can I add my signature to more than one page?

Each pass places one signature on one page. To sign multiple pages, download the signed PDF, click "Process Another", and run the signed copy through again — your next placement is added on top of the previous result.

Will the signature look sharp in the final PDF?

Yes. Your signature is captured as a high-resolution transparent PNG and embedded directly into the PDF page, so it sits cleanly on top of the document background with no white box around it, and prints exactly as you placed it.
