Questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. This tool runs inside your browser with code loaded from signofficially.com. Your file is read, changed and saved on your own device. Open your browser's developer tools, choose the Network tab and use the tool: no file leaves your computer.

Does it read scanned pages?

Not here. Scanned pages have no text layer. Use OCR PDF first.

Is it free?

Yes. Every on-device tool is free to use, with no limits. Paid plans add unlimited signature requests, teams and more.
