A signature on the page,
without a white box around it
Photograph your signature and your company seal, drop them on the contract and drag them where they go. The paper they were photographed on is taken out, so what lands on the document is ink and nothing else. Free, in full. No sign-up.
- Nothing is uploaded.
- the contract, the signature and the seal are read and written in your own browser and never sent anywhere.
- Free, in full.
- every page, every mark and every export, with no account and no card.
- A photograph will do.
- a phone snap of a signature on white paper is enough; the paper is what gets taken out.
- Cropped by hand.
- a sheet with three signatures on it gives you the one you want, cut against the file itself.
- The ink recolored.
- a seal photographed under a warm lamp comes back the violet it actually is.
- The PDF stays a PDF.
- the text is still text and nothing is rasterized — the mark is a picture laid on top.
What it does
Three things a document needs before it goes back
One idea behind all three: a mark is a picture of ink, and a document is not a place to put a white card.
Your own hand, on the line
- Drag it from the panel onto the page and drop it where it goes
- Turn it, size it, and set how strongly it prints
- Laid on as ink, so white paper leaves no mark at all
Features
More than dropping a picture on a page
Load the documents, load the marks, place them, and take the signed file.
The document
What is signed.
- PDF, kept as a PDF — the text stays text
- JPEG and PNG signed as a page of their own
- As many files as you like, bound in the order you set
- Nothing leaves the browser
The mark
What goes on it.
- A photograph or a scan of a signature or a seal
- The paper turned transparent, with a soft edge rather than a cut-out
- Cropped by hand against the whole file, shown behind it
- Levels, brightness and contrast, aimed at a histogram
The placing
Where it sits.
- Dragged onto the page and dropped where it belongs
- Turned to a degree, or to the twelve points of the clock
- Sized as a share of the page, so a batch of mixed sizes agrees
- Carried between pages while the whole job is on screen
The file
What comes out.
- A PDF with the marks drawn in, at the resolution they were photographed
- Real transparency — a soft mask, not a white patch
- Ink, darken or opaque, the same three the screen showed
- The pages in the order you put them
How it works
From a photograph to a signed file in four steps
Load, place, tidy the ink, download. Nothing in between leaves your machine.
Load the documents
A PDF, a JPEG or a PNG — dropped on the panel or picked from a folder, in any number.
Load your marks
A photograph of your signature, and of your seal. A phone snap on white paper is enough.
Place and tidy
Drag each mark onto the page, crop it to itself, and set what counts as paper.
Take the PDF
Download the signed file. The document is the one you loaded, with the ink on top.
Use cases
What people sign with it
Anything that has to go back signed, without a printer and a scanner in between.
A contract
Sign the last page and initial the rest, and send the same PDF back.
A batch of pages
Fourteen pages, one signature, placed on each without turning them one at a time.
A company seal
The stamp on the invoice, struck at a slant, with the paper it was photographed on gone.
An invoice or an act
Signed and stamped where the form expects it, and returned as a PDF rather than a photograph.
A scan that came back flat
A gray scan pulled back to black ink on white paper before it is laid on anything.
An approval
A drawing or a specification marked as agreed, without printing it to sign it.
FAQ
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every document, every mark and every export are free. No sign-up, no e-mail and no card.
Does my contract get uploaded?
No. Every file is read in your own browser and every pixel is worked on there. A signature and a company seal are the two things you have least business handing to a website, and a contract is the third — so this one is not asked for them.
Is this a legally binding electronic signature?
No, and it does not claim to be. This puts a picture of your signature on a document, which is what most parties ask for and what a printed-and-scanned page has always been. A qualified electronic signature is a different thing, with a certificate behind it.
How do I photograph a signature?
Sign a white sheet with a dark pen, photograph it square-on in even light, and load it. Crop it to the signature and pull the white point onto the paper — the paper then goes and the strokes stay.
Why does my signature come out on a gray card?
The paper in the photograph is not white enough for the levels to call it paper. Open Levels and drag the white point onto the paper’s own peak in the histogram; the card goes with it.
Can I put a mark on every page?
Yes. Switch to the run of pages, and drag the mark onto each one — or drag it from one page to another once it is placed.
Does the PDF stay a PDF?
Yes. The document is copied rather than redrawn: the text is still text and nothing is rasterized. The mark is a picture laid over it, with real transparency behind it.
What files can I sign?
PDF, JPEG and PNG. A picture becomes a page of its own; a PDF keeps every page it came with.
Sign it and send it back
Load the contract, drop your signature on it and take the PDF. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is charged for.
