Your handwritten signature. On the PDF.
Photograph your signature once. ARA Sign separates the ink from the paper and places it on your document. Designed to work offline, on your phone.
ara — the macaw. One peck, one signature.
How it works
- 1. Sign on a white sheet of paper
- 2. Photograph it from above, signature only in frame
- 3. Level it, choose a colour and generate
- 4. Open a PDF document and sign it with a tap
Why ARA Sign
Works offline
Opening, signing, saving and sharing documents works without an internet connection. Documents, signature and initials images, stamp data and settings stay on your device — the publisher never receives, stores or has access to them. The app connects to Google Play only to handle the optional Full Version purchase.
Your file stays untouched
ARA Sign never modifies the PDF you open. It saves a new document.
No account required
No sign-up, no e-mail address, no password to forget.
Works on your phone
You do not have to send your document to a web service to sign it.
A parrot that never repeats a word.
An optional PIN protects the app on a shared phone.
What ARA Sign is not
ARA Sign is a graphics tool. It does not create a qualified electronic signature or a qualified electronic seal within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation, and it does not provide the mechanisms required for an advanced electronic signature.
The app does not verify the identity of the user or of any other person, and it does not establish whether the person using it is entitled to use the image being placed.
The app does not protect the document against later changes and does not make such changes detectable.
The date placed in the document comes from the device clock or is entered by the user, and it is not a qualified electronic time stamp.
Whether such a form of document is sufficient for a particular matter is for the user to assess. In case of doubt, legal advice is advisable.
ARA Sign is intended for use with your own signature. It is not intended for placing an image of another person's signature in a document without that person's consent.
