About Seal PDF

Seal PDF stores a SHA-256 fingerprint of the finished file inside the file, and can add a small note on the last page. Anyone can later check it with Verify sealed PDF: any change, even a single character, breaks the seal. Keep the fingerprint code to confirm it is the copy you sealed. It is not a legal digital signature.

Frequently asked questions

Is Seal PDF free?

Yes. Seal PDF is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Paperwing processes your files inside your browser, on your own device. They are never uploaded, and they are cleared from memory when you close the tab.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Paperwing works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone, with nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Each file can be up to 300 MB. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a computer handles them faster than a phone.
