FAQ
- Is this a legally binding e-signature?
- This tool adds a visual stamp for convenience. For regulated contracts, use a qualified e-signature provider that meets your jurisdiction requirements.
- Can I save my signature for reuse?
- Yes. With consent, your typed signature can be stored locally in your browser for faster signing on future visits.
- Will the signature be removable after download?
- Overlays are flattened into the PDF page raster/content on export, making casual removal harder than a separate annotation layer.
