Good to know
Where is my saved signature stored?
Saved signatures stay in this browser on this device. They are not automatically shared with other browsers or devices. You can remove one from the Sign panel; clearing site data also removes saved signatures.
Can I change the signature’s color?
Typed signatures have a small set of color choices in the controls above the selected signature. Uploaded signatures retain their image colors.
Is this a certificate-based digital signature?
No. PageAmple adds a visual signature to the page. It does not verify the signer’s identity or create a certificate-based digital signature. Use a dedicated signing service if the recipient requires identity verification or an audit trail.
