  • Export and send the signed file.

Visual signature vs digital signature

This is a drawn signature image embedded in the PDF. It is legally useful in many ordinary situations, and it is what people expect from "sign this PDF".

It is not a cryptographic signature. There is no certificate, no tamper evidence and no identity verification. For contracts that require a qualified or advanced electronic signature, use a provider built for that and keep the audit trail.

Privacy

The signature never leaves the browser. It is drawn on a canvas, added to the scene and written into the exported file locally. No account, no email, no storage on a server.

Frequently asked questions

+Is the signature legally valid?

A drawn signature is accepted for many everyday documents, but validity depends on jurisdiction and on the agreement. For qualified signatures, use a certified provider.

+Can I reuse my signature?

The hosted editor keeps the current session in the browser. Autosave stores the project locally, so you can reopen it on the same device.

+Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The editor has mobile drawers and the signature canvas accepts touch input.

+Can I add a signature to every page?

Place it on each page manually. There is no batch stamping.
