Frequently asked questions

Is an electronic signature legally valid?

In many countries, including the US (ESIGN Act) and the EU (eIDAS), simple electronic signatures are legally valid for most everyday agreements. Some documents, such as wills or certain property and court documents, may need a qualified or witnessed signature. Check the requirements for your document.

Is this a digital (certificate-based) signature?

No. This adds a visual signature image to the PDF, the equivalent of signing a printed page. Certificate-based digital signatures, which cryptographically prove the document wasn't changed, require a signing certificate.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. The PDF is opened and signed entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server or stored.

Can I sign several pages?

Yes. Move to another page with the arrows and add your signature again; every placed signature is included in the download.

Do you add a watermark?

No. The output files are clean and have no watermark.

Are my PDFs stored?

Merge, split, extract and remove run in your browser. Word/PowerPoint conversions are processed on our server and deleted immediately afterwards.

Is there a page limit?

No hard limit. Very large files may take longer depending on your device.
