What you get

Frequently asked questions

Is the signature generator free?

Yes, create and download your signature for free, with no signup and no watermark. You get a clean, transparent PNG.

Will it have a watermark?

No. The downloaded signature is a transparent PNG with no watermark, so it drops cleanly onto documents, emails, and images.

Is a typed or drawn signature legally binding?

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act, UETA, and eIDAS, an electronic signature you draw or type is legally binding when you intend to sign. To make the whole document tamper-evident and verifiable, sign it inside PDF Verified.

How do I insert a signature into Word?

Create your signature here, download the transparent PNG, then in Word use Insert → Pictures, set the image to wrap “In Front of Text”, and drag it onto the signature line. Word cannot verify anything, so for documents that matter, export to PDF and sign it in PDF Verified.

What PDF Verified is, and what it is not

Electronic signature law is settled in broad terms and specific in the details. The ESIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS and their equivalents recognise electronic signatures across more than 190 countries, and what decides a particular case is intent to sign plus evidence connecting the signature to the signer, which is what the audit certificate records. Certain document types carry their own formalities wherever you are: deeds, wills, some property instruments, and anything requiring a witness or a notary. Sign only what you are authorised to sign, since applying another person signature without their authority is forgery whatever tool is used.

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.
