Sign PDF: common questions
Is a signature added this way legally valid?
For many everyday documents (forms, letters, agreements), an electronic signature like this is accepted in the UK, EU and US. Some documents need a certified digital signature or a wet signature, so check with whoever asked you to sign if you’re unsure.
Can I use a photo of my real signature?
Yes. Sign on white paper, take a photo, and upload it. The paper background is removed so only the ink remains.
Can I sign on my phone?
Yes. Draw your signature with your finger, then place it on the page.
Is my signature saved anywhere?
Only in your own browser if you choose to keep it for next time. It is never uploaded to a server.
