Frequently asked questions
Can I use a photo of my handwritten signature?
Yes. Sign on white paper, take a photo in good light and upload it. PDFellow removes the white background and shadows so only the ink is placed on the page.
Is this a legally binding signature?
PDFellow adds a visible image of your signature, which many everyday agreements accept. It isn’t a certificate-based digital signature, so documents that require one need a dedicated signing service.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is opened, signed and saved inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Do I need to create my signature every time?
No. Your signature is remembered while the page is open, so you can sign the next document straight away.
