Frequently asked questions

Is my document uploaded?

No. The document is opened and signed inside this browser tab. The signed file is made on your device and never sent anywhere.

Can I use a photo of my real signature?

Yes. Sign on plain white paper and take a clear photo. The paper, notebook lines and shadows are removed automatically and only your ink is kept, with a transparent background, the same cleaning as our signature tool. Choose to keep the ink colour or make it black or blue.

Can the signature go in a particular place?

Yes. Type something like [Signature] in your document where you sign, then choose "In place of a word" and enter it. The signature replaces that text and the words around it stay. Otherwise it goes at the end, with your name and the date under it if you want.

Does the rest of my document change?

No. Only the signature picture is added (and the name and date at the end, if chosen). The text, fonts, tables, headers and layout are copied exactly as they were.

Is this a legal digital signature?

It is a picture of your signature, like signing a printed page and scanning it, which is accepted for many everyday letters and forms. It is not a certificate-based digital signature (DSC) of the kind some government filings require.
