This creates a visual signature, not a certificate-backed PAdES digital signature, identity verification, or legal assurance. Confirm the recipient's requirements before use.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a cryptographic signature?
No. It embeds a signature image only.
Is my drawing uploaded?
No. The drawing and PDF remain in browser memory.
Can I sign on a phone?
Yes. The signature canvas and placement controls support touch input on modern mobile browsers.
When do I need a certificate signature?
Use a trusted PAdES-compatible signing service when the recipient requires verified identity, certificate validation, or a regulated signature workflow.
