Sign a PDF FAQs
Is this a βcertifiedβ digital signature?
No. It places an image of your signature on the page, which is what most forms ask for. Cryptographic certificate signatures need special software.
Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser using open-source libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js). Your file is never sent to a server, so it is safe for contracts, bank statements and IDs.
Can I sign more than one page?
Yes. Sign one page, download, then load the signed file and sign the next page.
