Frequently Asked Questions
Does flattening preserve the visual appearance of the signature stamp?
Yes. The graphical representation of the signature, seal, and timestamp is permanently rendered into the page canvas.
Are sensitive corporate contracts or trade secrets uploaded anywhere?
No. Zero data leaves your computer. All rendering and stream rewriting occur strictly in local browser memory.
Can the signature be extracted or manipulated after flattening?
No. The interactive signature object dictionary is removed, merging the visual ink directly into the background stream.
