Frequently Asked Questions

Is my document or signature uploaded to any server or cloud service?
No. The entire signing workflow runs strictly within your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and client-side JavaScript. Neither your original PDF, your signature artwork, nor any entered personal details are ever transmitted to or stored on remote servers.
What types of signatures can I create?
You can create signatures in three ways: drawing freehand using your mouse, trackpad, touchscreen, or digital stylus; typing your name and selecting from elegant handwriting fonts; or uploading an existing signature image with automatic white-paper background removal.
Can I add multiple signatures or sign multiple pages?
Yes. You can place multiple signatures, initials, dates, and names on a single page or across different pages of your PDF document, and resize or reposition each one individually.
Does this create a legally binding or cryptographic digital signature?
topdf.click creates visual electronic signatures embedded directly onto your document pages. It is designed for standard agreements, waivers, invoices, receipts, and everyday forms. It does not provide cryptographic public-key infrastructure (PKI) digital certificates or legal tamper-evident seals.
Will my original document formatting and selectable text be preserved?
Yes. The signing engine uses pdf-lib to embed signature image assets directly into the original document object tree, keeping all existing vector artwork, fonts, embedded images, form fields, and searchable text layers completely intact without rasterization.
