Are electronic signatures legally binding?

Yes, electronic signatures are legally recognized and binding in most countries around the world. In the United States, the ESIGN Act (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act) of 2000 and UETA (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act) establish that electronic signatures have the same legal status as handwritten signatures. In the European Union, the eIDAS regulation provides a legal framework for electronic signatures. Similarly, countries like Canada, Australia, India, and most developed nations have legislation recognizing electronic signatures. E-signatures are legally valid for contracts, business agreements, employment documents, real estate transactions, financial documents, and most other legal documents. However, there are a few exceptions where wet signatures may still be required, such as wills, adoption papers, court orders, and certain government forms. For the vast majority of business and personal documents, electronic signatures are completely legal and enforceable.

Is it safe to sign PDFs online using this tool?

Absolutely yes! We take your security and privacy very seriously. All file uploads and downloads are protected with industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring your documents cannot be intercepted during transmission. Your PDF files are processed on secure servers with restricted access and strict security protocols. We automatically delete all uploaded and signed files from our servers within one hour after processing, leaving no trace of your documents in our system. We never store, archive, share, sell, or access the content of your PDFs. No registration or email address is required, so your personal information remains completely private. The signing process happens entirely in your browser whenever possible, adding an extra layer of security. Our tool is safe for signing confidential documents including employment contracts, NDAs, business agreements, financial forms, legal documents, and personal correspondence. You maintain complete control and ownership of your files throughout the entire process.

Can I sign the same PDF multiple times or in multiple places?

Yes, you can add your signature to multiple locations within the same PDF document. After creating your signature using draw, text, or image options, you can drag it to any position on any page of your PDF. If you need to sign in multiple places, you can create your signature once and then apply it to different pages or different positions on the same page. The tool allows you to resize your signature to fit different signature fields or spaces. This is particularly useful for forms that require initials on every page, documents that need signatures in multiple sections, contracts with signature blocks for different parties, or multi-page agreements requiring acknowledgment on each page. You can also create different signature styles for initials versus full signatures if needed. Our flexible signing interface gives you complete control over placement, size, and positioning of your electronic signature throughout the entire document.

Do I need to install any software to sign PDF files?

No, you don't need to install any software, browser extensions, or applications to sign PDF files using our online tool. Everything works directly in your web browser on any device with internet access. Our web-based PDF signing tool is completely platform-independent and works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iOS, Android, and any other operating system with a modern web browser. You don't need Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or any other PDF software installed. Simply access our website, upload your PDF, create your signature, and download the signed document. This browser-based approach offers several advantages: no software downloads or installation required, no updates or maintenance needed, works on devices where you can't install software, accessible from any location with internet, and no storage space consumed on your device.
