What do you need to do with the document?
Drop your document here and sign it now. PDF, Word and Excel all work: a .docx or .xlsx is laid out in your browser exactly as it was written, so there is nothing to convert first. Add a signature, a date, a company stamp or a watermark, then download it sealed. Free to start, no account, and the file is never uploaded to open it.
Six things, and most people want the first one. Each is free to start, none needs an account to try, and the file is read in your browser rather than uploaded to be opened. PDF, Word and Excel all work the same way: a .docx or .xlsx is laid out exactly as it was written, so there is nothing to convert first.
Sign a document now
Upload a PDF, Word or Excel file, sign it, stamp it, and download it sealed.
Pick this when
- Somebody sent you a contract and it needs your signature today.
- You have the .docx or .xlsx rather than a PDF, and do not want to go and find Word to export it first.
- You are on a phone, or on a work laptop where you cannot install anything.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> A signed PDF with the signature part of the page rather than an object anyone can drag off it, a SHA-256 fingerprint over the whole file, and a QR code the recipient can scan to confirm nothing changed after signing. Free to start, no account, and the person you send it to needs no account either.
Send a document for signature
Mark where each person signs, send a link, and get the completed file with an audit certificate.
Pick this when
- Two or more people have to sign, and one of them is a client who will open it on a phone.
- The same agreement goes to a list of people and each needs their own copy.
- You need to know who has signed and who is stalling, without emailing to ask.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> A signing link that needs no account at the other end, an optional one-time code by SMS or email where the document justifies it, automatic reminders, and a completion record naming every signer with the time and address each signature came from.
Free PDF tools
Edit text, redact properly, merge, split, rotate, compress, convert and watermark, in your browser.
Pick this when
- The document needs fixing before anybody signs it: a wrong figure, a page in the wrong order, a file too large to email.
- Something confidential has to come out, and a black rectangle is not enough because the text is still in the file underneath it.
- A Word or Excel file has to become a PDF without a conversion service seeing it.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> A corrected file, done in the tab rather than uploaded. Editing sets your text in the document’s own font where it can, and redaction deletes the text from the file and then re-reads the export to prove nothing survived.
Start from a template
NDA, lease, employment contract, invoice, service agreement and more, free to fill in and sign.
Pick this when
- The document does not exist yet and you would rather not draft it from nothing.
- You need something reasonable in front of a client this afternoon.
- You want it in Word first so the wording can be changed, then signed.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> A template in PDF and Word, free to open, fill and preview, that you can sign here or send for signature. A template is a starting point rather than advice, so read what you are sending and change what does not fit.
Design a company stamp or seal
Round seals, approval marks and dated stamps, with a date that fills itself in and a serial that never repeats.
Pick this when
- A customer, a bank or a ministry has asked for the company stamp on an invoice or a contract.
- You need PAID, RECEIVED, APPROVED or CERTIFIED TRUE COPY on documents regularly.
- A rubber stamp would take days to arrive, and would then have to be near you and near a printer.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> A stamp you can place on a PDF, a Word file or an Excel sheet, on one page or on every page. Free to design, and each impression carries a date set at the moment it is applied and a serial number that does not repeat.
Check a document somebody sent you
Confirm a signed PDF is unaltered, or screen a statement or invoice for the signs of forgery.
Pick this when
- You are being asked to accept a signed document and you would rather check it than trust it.
- A bank statement or payslip has arrived as evidence of something, and it matters whether it is genuine.
- You want to know whether a PDF was edited after it was signed.
<strong>What you leave with.</strong> For a document sealed here, a recomputed fingerprint compared against the sealed original, so a match means it is the file that was signed. For anything else, a forensic read of the file: its production history, its fonts, and the marks left behind by editing. No account needed to check.
Still not sure?
If a document has to come back signed by somebody else, you want <a href="/new?mode=request_signatures">send for signature</a>. If it is your own signature on something already in front of you, you want <a href="/quick-sign">Quick Sign</a>. Everything else here happens before or after those two: getting the document into shape, putting the company mark on it, or checking one that arrived.
Where the document already lives
If it is sitting in Google Drive, an Outlook attachment or a spreadsheet somebody keeps updating, there is a page for that, including where an add-on exists and where you do not need one.
What PDF Verified is, and what it is not
A stamp identifies who issued a document. It is evidence rather than a formality that makes a document binding on its own, and it should only ever be made and applied for a business or an office you are authorised to act for: a mark that imitates another organisation in order to pass a document off as theirs is forgery in most places. Where a registry, a bank or a counterparty requires a particular form of seal, that requirement comes from them.
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.
