Frequently asked questions

Is this legally binding?

Drawn signatures are "electronic signatures," which are legally valid in most jurisdictions for everyday contracts. For regulated use cases (notarization, some government filings), you may need a digital certificate-based signature instead.

Does my signature leave my device?

No. The signature is held locally until the PDF is saved.

Can I sign multiple places?

Yes. Place the signature as many times as you need before saving.
