We could not do that
Your signed document is ready.
This is an electronic signature: the image is now part of the document, as it would be on a signed and scanned page. It does not carry a cryptographic certificate.
Before you send it — do you know what you just signed?
Analyze it with LegalValidate to find risks, important clauses and obligations.
How it works
Upload and read it
Your document appears on screen, page by page, so you can see what you are signing.
Make your signature
Draw it with your mouse or finger, or type your name and pick a handwriting style.
Place it and download
Click where it goes, drag it into place, and download the signed PDF.
Questions about signing
Is an electronic signature legally binding?
In most jurisdictions an electronic signature is binding for ordinary commercial contracts, and this tool produces the same kind of mark as signing on paper and scanning the page. Some documents — wills, certain property transfers, notarised deeds — still require a wet signature or a qualified certificate. If the stakes are high, check the rules that apply where the contract is governed.
Is my document stored on your servers?
No. The pages are rendered so you can read them, and the signed file is handed straight back to your browser. Nothing is written to disk or to a database, and there is no account to tie it to.
Can I sign a Word document?
Yes. A .docx is converted to PDF first, and it is that PDF you see, sign and download.
Can I put my signature on more than one page?
Yes. Once you have made a signature you can click as many pages as you need — useful when a contract wants initials on every page and a full signature at the end.
Why use LegalValidate for sign a document
Read it before you sign it
The document is rendered on screen page by page, so you are signing something you have actually looked at.
Draw or type your signature
Draw with a mouse or finger, or type your name in a handwriting font. Both end up as a transparent image on the page.
Place it exactly, on any page
Drag the signature where it belongs and drop the same one on every page that needs it — initials on each sheet, full signature at the end.
Word documents too
A .docx is converted once for signing, so what you sign is what you saw.
When you need this
- A contract has to be signed today and there is no printer.
- Every page needs initialling as well as a signature at the end.
- You are on a phone and the counterparty is waiting.
- A form needs a signature in a specific box, not at the bottom.
What this tool will not do
- This produces a visual signature — an image of your signature placed on the page. It is not a cryptographic or PAdES-qualified digital signature, and some registries and jurisdictions require one.
- Up to 30 pages and 10 MB.
- It does not send the document to anyone for counter-signature; there is no signing workflow, invitations or audit trail.
Sign a Document — questions
Is this legally binding? +
In many jurisdictions an electronic signature is binding for ordinary commercial contracts, and this produces one. It is not a qualified digital signature with a certificate, which some filings, registries and regulated transactions require. Check what your counterparty and jurisdiction ask for.
Can I sign a Word document? +
Yes. It is converted to PDF once, for display, and your signature lands on those exact pages — so the placement you saw is the placement you get.
Is my document uploaded anywhere? +
It is sent to be rendered and stamped, and never stored. Nothing remains after the response.
Can I use the same signature on several pages? +
Yes. Draw it once and place it as many times as you need — it is uploaded once, not once per placement.
Is the document a contract?
The same file can be read against six criteria — clarity, risk protection, enforceability, balance of terms, structure and overall exposure — free and without an account.
