Sign a PDF with a date and time stamp

Sign your document and add a footer below it with your name, the date, the time and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the original file.

Supported file: PDF. You can also drag it here

A visual signature with traceability

Besides the signature, the footer records who signed, when, and the fingerprint of the original document, useful for minutes, internal contracts and approvals.

It's a visual signature with a date stamp. It doesn't replace a digital signature issued by an accredited certification authority.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the time in the footer come from?

From your device's clock at the moment of signing.

What is the SHA-256 fingerprint in the footer for?

It identifies the original file that was signed. If someone presents a different version, the fingerprint won't match.

How is this different from Sign PDF?

Sign PDF only places the signature. This tool also adds the name, date, time and fingerprint.
