Why this matters
The print-sign-scan workflow is absurd in 2026. You print a document, sign it with a pen, scan it back in (if you even have a scanner), then email the scanned version. Three devices, five minutes, and the result is a blurry image of your signature on a degraded document.
Electronic signatures are legally valid in Australia, the US, UK, EU, and most jurisdictions for the vast majority of documents. fwip embeds your signature directly into the PDF — clean, sharp, and professional.
And unlike DocuSign or Adobe Sign, fwip doesn’t route your document through a server. Your contract stays on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is an electronic signature legally valid? In most jurisdictions, yes. Australia’s Electronic Transactions Act, the US ESIGN Act, and the EU eIDAS regulation all recognise electronic signatures for most documents. Exceptions include some real estate transactions, wills, and court documents — check your local requirements.
Is this the same as a digital signature? No. A digital signature uses cryptographic certificates and is more secure. fwip offers an electronic signature (drawn or typed). For most everyday documents — contracts, agreements, forms, approvals — an electronic signature is sufficient.
Can I save my signature for reuse? In the desktop app, yes. In the browser, you’ll redraw each time.
Can I add multiple signatures to one PDF? Yes. Add your signature, then add another — useful for initialling every page and signing the last.
