Why this tool
Prepare Signature Request, without uploads or account gates.
What it is best for
Preparing a document that you will send to a signer through your own email or messaging service.
Free to use
There is no account, API key, subscription, daily counter, or watermark added to your result.
One consistent workflow
Every tool uses the same clear upload, process, and download flow, including on phones and tablets.
Know the limitation
The tool does not send email, track recipients or provide legally verified e-signatures.
Visible document control
Protection and marks have different purposes
Passwords control opening, while signatures, request areas and watermarks communicate intent. The visual result should not be confused with identity certification.
Keep a clean original and test the finished file in a second PDF reader.

Understand the workflow
What Prepare Signature Request actually does
Prepare Signature Request is designed for a specific browser-based job rather than pretending to replace a full desktop document suite. Adds a clearly labelled signature request field to the final page for downloading and sharing. This approach is most useful for preparing a document that you will send to a signer through your own email or messaging service.
The work happens in the current browser tab, so the selected document is not sent to PDF Creator for conversion. Processing time depends on the source file and the memory available on the device. The output should always be treated as a new working copy and checked before it is distributed, archived or used as a record.
Important limitation: The tool does not send email, track recipients or provide legally verified e-signatures.
Practical use cases
When this workflow is useful
Label where a recipient should sign on the final page.
Prepare an informal signature workflow that does not require tracking or an audit trail.
Transparent verification

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Prepare Signature Request free?
Yes. It is free to use without signing up or supplying an API key.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool processes files locally in your browser tab. Closing or refreshing the tab clears the working data.
What is the file size limit?
Each file can be up to 50 MB. Performance depends on your device memory, especially for long PDFs and OCR.
Will the output always match the original exactly?
Native PDF operations preserve pages well. Conversions from Office files prioritize readable content, but advanced fonts, animations, charts, and complex layouts can differ because no desktop Office engine or paid API is used.
What should I check after using Prepare Signature Request?
Open the downloaded REQUEST PDF file and compare its page or item count, order, orientation and readable content with the source. Keep the original until the result has been reviewed for its intended use.
What can Prepare Signature Request not guarantee?
The tool does not send email, track recipients or provide legally verified e-signatures.
