Frequently asked questions
Can I sign a scanned document saved as a JPG?
Yes. Drop the JPG into Quick Sign, place your signature, and download the signed file.
Does the signed image stay an image?
The signed, sealed output downloads as a PDF, the standard tamper-evident format, preserving the image exactly.
Is signing an image legally binding?
The signature is captured with intent and consent and sealed with a tamper-evident hash, giving the same court-admissible record as signing a PDF.
Can I stamp the image too?
Yes. Add a company stamp or approval stamp alongside your signature before downloading.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
These checks are a screen, not a verdict. A clean result means nothing was found by the checks that were run, which is not the same as proof that a document is genuine, and a flagged result can have an innocent explanation such as a re-save or a scan. Read the findings rather than the headline, and where a decision carries real consequences, confirm the document with the party that issued it. It is a tool for examining a document, not for producing a forged or altered one.
PDF Verified is a tool for preparing, signing, stamping and checking documents. It is not a law firm, a compliance service or a forensic examiner, and nothing here is legal, financial or compliance advice. Requirements differ by country, by document type and by the party asking, so check what applies to your document before you rely on it, and take advice where the document matters. You are responsible for the documents you create, sign and send, and for having the authority to do so: signing or stamping in somebody else name, or as an organisation you do not represent, is forgery whatever tool is used. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for how a document made with this tool is used or relied on. The full position is in our terms of service.
