Can I add my signature to multiple pages at once?

Yes. You can duplicate initial stamps and date markers across every page of lengthy agreements with a single click.

Is a digital signature created in PDFBlack legally binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures created in PDFBlack comply with international e-signature frameworks such as the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, and UETA. By capturing the unequivocal signer intent, timestamp, and a cryptographic SHA-256 document checksum to detect tampering, signed files are fully admissible in commercial transactions and legal proceedings.

Why is PDFBlack more secure and private than iLovePDF or Smallpdf for signing?

Traditional online tools upload your confidential documents to external cloud servers, exposing NDAs, contracts, and financial statements to third-party data breaches. PDFBlack operates on a strict Zero-Knowledge in-RAM architecture: all rendering, signature stamping, and cryptographic hashing take place directly inside your local browser sandbox.

How does the automatic white background remover work on photographed signatures?

If you sign on paper and snap a photo with your smartphone, PDFBlack uses an in-browser image filter that detects light paper pixels and makes them completely transparent. Only the pristine ink strokes are retained, seamlessly overlaying onto your contract without ugly white patches.

What is the "File + VoBo Initials" multi-page mode?

In corporate and legal practice, multi-page agreements require a full signature on the execution page and initials/VoBo on all other sheets to prevent page substitution. PDFBlack automates this: it stamps your full signature on the designated page and applies auditable initials across every other page with a single click.

What does the SHA-256 checksum on the audit stamp signify?

The SHA-256 hash is a 256-bit cryptographic digest of the document. It certifies document integrity: any subsequent tampering or alteration of even a single character will completely invalidate the checksum, immediately exposing unauthorized modifications.

Are there any limits on signatures or pages in the free version?

None. PDFBlack does not impose daily signing caps, paywalls, or mandatory sign-ups. You can sign contracts with hundreds of pages without evaluation banners or trial restrictions.
