Questions people ask

Is my document or signature uploaded?

No. Both stay in your browser. The signature is placed on the page on your device.

Is this a legally binding digital signature?

It adds a picture of your signature, like signing a printout and scanning it. It is not a certificate-based digital signature. Whether it is enough depends on the document and the rules where you are.

Can the signature be removed later?

It is part of the page content, so someone with a PDF editor could remove it. Use Flatten PDF afterwards to make forms permanent, but remember no simple tool can prevent editing completely.

What if I need other people to sign?

This tool signs for you only. Collecting signatures from other people needs a service that tracks who signed, which is not part of this tool.

Why does my typed signature look different on my phone?

The handwriting fonts come from your device. The signature is drawn in your browser using what your device has, so what you see in the preview is what is placed on the page.

Can I sign on a rotated page?

Yes. The signature follows the way the page is displayed.
