FAQ about Act Contract

About us

Act-Contract.com is a webservice which helps you to sign a contract, act, invoice or any other document in electronic format. No torment in graphic editors.

What do you need?

1. The document, its scan or photo.
2. Scan or photo of the signature.
3. Scan or photo of the seal or stamp.
Signature and stamp can be scanned as one file.

Supported formats

You can upload the file in the format you have it:
- as a picture — .jpg, .jpeg, .png.
- as a document — .doc, .docx, .pdf.
You can upload the signature and stamp only in .jpg, .jpeg, .png.

Is it possible to upload the multiple-page documents?

Sure. When you upload multiple-page .doc, .docx or .pdf document, all the pages will be uploaded automatically.

Can I remove extra sheets from the document?

Definitely. You have loaded a long contract, but you want to sign and download only a part of the sheets? In a couple of clicks! Simply select the unwanted sheets and click on the cross in the upper right corner.

What about to add sheets?

Yes. There are thumbnails of the loaded pages under each page, the plus icon is right, click it and download the selected file.

Can I merge files?

Sure. You can download a multiple-page .pdf, several photos and a .doc document, then remove the extra sheets, to sign, to put the stamp and download the merged file.

How to download a multiple-page file?

There are two options:
- to download an archive with .jpg files,
- to download a multiple-page .pdf.
This function is not for free, but the cost of service is next to nothing.

How the document is processed?

We simply determine its orientation and insert it into an A4 sheet. The service does not work with any other formats than A4. We sign documents, not to fake them!

How the stamps are processed?

First, the background is automatically removed from the stamps. Then the stamp size is adjusted to the size of 40x40 mm. This corresponds to the typical size of stamps and seals in most countries. The aspect ratio can not change.
This is important, since amateurs often put in either huge or too small stamps, or ellipse-shape seals. In act-contract.com stamp has always the right size relative to A4 paper size.

How the signatures are processed?

The background is automatically removed from the signatures, you just choose the quality.
By the way, if you change the signature size on the document, the service will remember the new size and will use it while re-adding.

Why is it better than editor?

We have provided all the unsuccessful options and insured you:

The white background is always removed, the aspect ratio of the seals and signatures is correct, and their sizes are the same. And everything is done automatically, no need to adjust manually.

Free plan limitations

You can sign and upload only one one-page document per day. In most cases it is enough.

Pro plan limitations

There are no limits, sign any number of any documents.

How long documents are kept in the web service?

Signed documents are kept 24 hours from the moment of uploading, then completely removed.
Signatures and stamps are kept until you delete them.
So you do not waste time for re-loading frequently used seals and signatures.

Is it legal?

No more and no less legal than using facsimiles. But this is exactly how 95% of the documents sent by e-mail and via messengers are signed.
