My Word document looks different

Complex formatting or fonts unavailable to the editor can change how a document looks. Compare it with the original, correct what you can, and check the exported copy in the recipient’s viewer. FreeSignature does not promise identical rendering for every Word feature.

Where is my saved document?

Use the editor’s download action to save a finished copy, then check your browser’s downloads. Keep the original as a backup. Your document is not stored in an online FreeSignature account, so download your work before closing the editor or refreshing the page.

How is the editor kept separate from ads?

The public website can load advertising and optional analytics. The /editor/ page contains an isolated editor hosted on a separate Netlify origin. Your address bar stays on FreeSignature, while the browser keeps document access separate. Neither the surrounding editor page nor the document workspace loads ads or analytics.

You can report a reproducible software issue in our public GitHub repository. Do not attach private documents, signatures or personal details to a public issue. Describe the file format, browser and steps, or use a made-up sample document.

Your files are private. Your choices matter.

Your documents: files and signatures are opened only in a separate, isolated editor embedded on this website. They are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers or sent to Google. The editor does not load Google Analytics or third-party ad scripts. Download your work before closing it.

This public website: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics receives information about visits, device/browser information, and clicks to open the editor. Google receives network information, including an IP address, as part of those requests. We remove query strings and fragments before loading analytics and do not send the referring page URL. Advertising personalization and Google Signals are disabled in our tag configuration.

Advertising: this public website loads Google AdSense to support the free tool. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device information, and IP addresses to serve and measure ads. Advertising choices are managed separately through Google’s privacy messages and Ad privacy choices. Rejecting analytics does not turn off advertising. Advertising scripts do not run in the document editor.

Cookies and preferences: analytics is off until you allow it. Analytics cookies are limited to this public hostname and configured to expire after 90 days. Your choice is remembered in this browser for up to 180 days. Use Cookie settings to reject analytics later; this clears our analytics cookies and refreshes the page to stop the loaded tag. If browser storage is blocked, your choice applies for this page visit.

Google processes analytics data according to its own policies, and processing may take place outside your country. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Hosting requests also disclose ordinary request information to Netlify. Direct sponsor banners, when present, are local images and do not load an advertising network script.
