FAQ
Questions answered
Is this a legally binding electronic signature?
This tool places an image of your signature on the PDF, which is how many people sign forms and approvals. It does not record who signed, when, or from where. When you need that proof, such as an audit trail and signer consent, send the document with E-Sign instead, which logs every view and signature.
How do I get someone else to sign a PDF?
This tool is for signing yourself. To collect other people's signatures, upload the PDF to The Drive AI and send it with E-Sign: each signer gets their own signing link, signing can run in order or in parallel, and reminders go out automatically. E-Sign is part of the Max and Team plans.
Can I add several signatures to one document?
Yes. After the first one, every click on a page adds another copy, on the same page or any other, and thumbnails mark the pages that carry a signature. To place something different, such as initials, click Change and create a new signature; the ones already placed stay where they are.
How do I sign a Google Doc?
Download the Doc as a PDF from the File menu, sign it here, and upload the signed copy back to Google Drive. That covers signing it yourself. If other people need to sign the Doc too, our guide to signing a Google Doc compares the ways to collect their signatures, including inside Google Docs.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF, your drawn or typed signature and the signed result all stay in this browser tab: the signature is drawn on a canvas and stamped onto the page with the pdf-lib library. Nothing reaches a server, and closing the tab discards the document and the signature.
