Questions

Straight answers about signing, requests, privacy and your account. Still stuck? Email support@signedpdf.example.

Signing

Do I need an account to sign a PDF?
No. Drop a PDF on the homepage, sign it and download the signed copy. You only need an account to send documents to others, save your signature or use templates.
Is an electronic signature legally binding?
For most everyday agreements, yes: under ESIGN and UETA in the US and eIDAS in the EU. signedpdf.app provides simple electronic signatures backed by an audit trail. Some documents, like wills or certain property deeds, may need more. When in doubt, ask a lawyer.
Does signedpdf.app add a cryptographic digital signature?
No. signedpdf.app places a visible electronic signature on the page and keeps a signing certificate with file hashes and a timeline. It does not apply certificate-based digital signatures and does not offer qualified signatures.

Requests

Do the people I send to need an account?
No. They get an email with a private link, review the document and sign. There is nothing to install.
Can people sign in a set order?
Yes. Choose to sign in order and each person gets the document only after the one before has signed. Choose any order to send it to everyone at once.
What if someone doesn't sign?
Send a reminder at any time. Each request expires after 30 days unless you choose another date. When it expires, it's marked Expired and we let you know.

Privacy & legal

How long do you keep my documents?
If you sign without an account, the file is deleted 24 hours after you sign, or 24 hours after upload if you never finish. Documents in an account stay until you delete them.
What does the audit trail record?
Each signer's name and email, when they viewed, consented and signed, their IP address and browser, confirmed email deliveries, and SHA-256 hashes of the original and the signed file.
Who can see my documents?
You, the people you send them to, and anyone you share them with. Signers see the document and their own fields, plus only the names needed to show the signing order. Files are encrypted at rest.

Account

How much does signedpdf.app cost?
Free is $0 · 3 documents a month; Plus is $6 a month · unlimited. These prices are placeholders until billing launches, and until then every account can use every feature.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. In Settings → Data you can download your documents or delete your account and everything in it.
Can I sign in without a password?
Yes. Ask for a sign-in link on the login page and we'll email you a link that works once.
