Tips for a clean signature

Good to know

This tool places your signature as an image on the page — quick, private, and fine for most everyday documents. It is not a certificate-based digital signature, so official forms that require a certified e-signature service may still need one. Pages stored with a rotated layout are skipped to keep placement accurate. Related: Compress PDF, Merge PDF, and PDF to JPG.

QUICK ANSWERS
Is this a certificate-based digital signature?

No. Your signature is placed on the page as an image — a visual signature. Official forms sometimes require a certified e-signature service.

Can I sign every page at once?

Yes. Turn on Add to every page before downloading. Otherwise the signature is placed only on the page you are viewing.

Where does my signature go?

Nowhere. Drawing, typing, uploading, and stamping all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Does signing work on iPhone or in Chrome?

Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser — on iPhone draw the signature with your finger, and in Chrome nothing needs to be installed.
