Frequently Asked Questions

Are electronic signatures legally binding?

Yes, electronic signatures are legally binding in most countries, including the United States (under ESIGN Act), European Union (eIDAS regulation), and many other jurisdictions. They have the same legal standing as handwritten signatures for most documents. However, some specific documents like wills or certain court documents may require traditional signatures.

Is it safe to sign documents using this tool?

Yes, it's completely safe. All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser—your documents never leave your device. We don't upload, store, or have access to your files. This makes it ideal for signing sensitive documents like contracts, financial forms, or personal information.

Can I add multiple signatures to one document?

Yes, you can add as many signatures as needed to a single PDF document. This is useful for documents requiring signatures on multiple pages, or when you need to add both your signature and initials in different locations.

What's the difference between drawn, typed, and image signatures?

Drawn signatures let you create a handwritten-style signature using your mouse or touchscreen. Typed signatures convert your name into a signature-style font. Image signatures let you upload a photo of your actual handwritten signature. All three methods create valid electronic signatures.

Can I change the signature after placing it?

Yes, before saving the PDF, you can move, resize, rotate, or delete any signature you've placed. You can also create a new signature if you're not satisfied with the current one. Once you save the PDF, the signature becomes permanent.

Will the signature look professional?

Yes, all signature methods create professional-looking results. Drawn signatures capture your natural handwriting style, typed signatures use elegant fonts, and image signatures reproduce your actual signature. You can adjust size and position for optimal appearance.

Can I sign password-protected PDFs?

No, you cannot sign password-protected or encrypted PDF files with this tool. You must remove the password protection first. This security measure ensures only authorized users can modify protected documents.

How do I create a signature image to upload?

Sign your name on white paper with a black pen, take a clear photo or scan it, and crop it to show just the signature. Save it as a PNG or JPG file. Alternatively, use a digital drawing tablet to create a signature file. The tool accepts common image formats.
