Is there a file size limit?
The only practical limit is your device's available memory, since processing happens locally.
Is my signature saved for next time?
No. For privacy, your signature only exists in the current tab and is gone once you close or reload the page.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Yes — you can add text and a signature on top of a scanned page, but the scanned content itself can't be edited since it's an image, not text.
