What happens to your file
Your files are never stored. Nothing is parked, queued, or kept — the moment your download is ready, it's gone, and no one ever sees it.
Plenty of online tools store your file on their servers and delete it later. PDF Cubby doesn't keep it at all — there's nothing left behind to clean up afterward.

Tips
- Want the signature to blend in cleanly? Upload a photo taken on a plain white background and turn on background removal.
- Signing the same document for several people? Use Split first so each signer only handles their own pages.
- Want the signature locked in place so it can't be moved or removed later? Flatten the file afterward.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a legally binding e-signature?
- No — this places a visual signature image on the page, the same as signing a printout and scanning it back in. It is not a certified digital signature: there's no identity verification, signing certificate, or audit trail like DocuSign or Adobe Sign provide. It's a good fit for internal forms and personal use; check with the other party first if a document specifically requires a certified e-signature.
- How do I create my signature?
- Three ways: draw it with your mouse or finger, type your name and pick a signature-style font, or upload a photo of your real signature.
- Can I remove the background from an uploaded photo?
- Yes — turn on background removal and near-white pixels around your signature become transparent, so only the ink shows on the page.
- Can I sign every page at once?
- Yes — choose "Every page" instead of first or last page.
- Do I need an account?
- You get 5 free uses a day with no account. For unlimited use, sign in and upgrade to Pro — $4.99/month, cancel anytime. The 6 core tools (merge, split, extract, rotate, compress, convert) are always free and unlimited.
- Are my files kept anywhere?
- No. Your PDF is signed and discarded the instant your download is ready.
