Editorial interest 74/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tool for signing PDFs yourself or sending them to others for signatures, without signup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.

For: People signing PDFs or collecting signatures
Worth noticing: The site says self-signing stays in the browser; documents sent to others are stored encrypted on EU servers and deleted 30 days after signing.

Field notes

The page separates signing a PDF yourself from collecting signatures from other people. For the second workflow, it says users add names, email addresses, and fields before recipients receive a link; the FAQ sets a limit of five documents sent per day. The site says those files are stored encrypted on EU servers and deleted 30 days after everyone has signed, and that the returned PDF includes a signature certificate.
