Frequently asked questions

Are electronic signatures from PhantomEtch legally valid?+

Electronic signatures are legally recognized in most jurisdictions under laws like ESIGN (US) and eIDAS (EU). PhantomEtch creates standard electronic signatures suitable for most business documents. For documents requiring qualified digital signatures (e.g., government filings), check your local requirements.

Can I save my signature for reuse?+

Yes. PhantomEtch stores your signature locally in your browser so you can quickly apply it to future documents. Your signature never leaves your device — it is saved only in your browser's local storage.

Is my signed document safe?+

Completely. PhantomEtch processes everything locally in your browser. Your documents and signature are never uploaded to any server. We cannot see your files or your signature — everything stays on your device.

Can I sign PDFs on mobile?+

Yes. PhantomEtch works in any modern browser, including mobile. Drawing your signature with a finger on a touchscreen works great. You can also type or upload a signature image on mobile.
