## Guides

- [Sign PDF online with a PAdES signature](https://sealique.com/guides/sign-pdf): Upload the PDF, place your signature and press Sign & seal: the tool applies a PAdES digital signature with a verification ID and a tamper-evident QR code. Contracts, agreements, memoranda, approval letters: any PDF can be signed from a phone or a computer, by you alone or by several people in turn. Nothing has to be printed, and the signed file proves on its own that it was never changed. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Verify a signed PDF online by QR code or ID](https://sealique.com/guides/verify-signed-pdf): Scan the tamper-evident QR code in the signature block, or type the verification ID, to see who signed and whether the PAdES digital signature is intact. Every PDF sealed with Sealique carries a verification ID in every signature block and, where the block is large enough, a QR code. Anyone who receives the file, on paper or as a download, can check it on the public verification page without creating an account. The check confirms that the sealed copy kept for that ID is intact, validates each PAdES digital signature and shows the sealed copy so you can compare it with yours. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Sign a PDF on your phone, no app needed](https://sealique.com/guides/sign-pdf-on-phone): Open Sealique in the phone browser, choose Quick Sign, draw your signature with a finger and press Sign & seal: the sealed PDF carries a PAdES signature and QR code. Most signatures in East Africa happen on a phone, often on a slow connection and often on a file that arrived by WhatsApp. Quick Sign is built for that: the PDF renders in the browser, the signature is drawn with a finger, and the sealed file comes back in seconds. Nothing is installed, and the app can be added to the home screen from the browser menu. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Edit PDF online: text, tables and pages](https://sealique.com/guides/edit-pdf): Upload the PDF to the Sealique editor, rewrite text, add tables or cover content in your browser, then save: the original is kept and the copy is ready to sign. Forms to fill, a wrong date in a contract, a paragraph to rewrite, a phone number to cover: the editor lets you fix a PDF before it goes out for signature. The file is uploaded to your private library, the pages are edited in your browser and the saved PDF is built on Sealique servers. The original is kept and the edited copy is stored next to it, ready to send for signing. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Split PDF online: extract pages, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/split-pdf): Open the PDF, preview its pages in the browser, choose one document per page or tap the pages that belong together, and each part becomes its own document. A scanned bundle, a report with annexes, a contract that holds several schedules: any unsigned PDF with two or more pages can be cut into smaller documents from a phone or a computer. Pages are shown as thumbnails, so you decide by looking at them rather than guessing page numbers, and the original file stays untouched. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Merge PDF files online, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/merge-pdf): Drop the PDFs, drag them into order and press Merge into one PDF: pages preview in the browser and the merged file is ready for a PAdES digital signature. Board packs, tender bundles, annexes that belong with the main agreement: whenever several unsigned PDFs must travel as one, you can merge them from a phone or a computer. Every page is previewed before you commit, and the originals are never changed. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [PDF to image: PDF to JPG or PNG in your browser](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-to-image): Open PDF to image in Sealique, pick the pages and choose PNG, JPG or WebP: pages are rendered in the browser, so the PDF never leaves your device. A slide, a certificate, a signed page or a form is often easier to share as a picture than as a PDF, in a chat, on a website or in a presentation. The tool turns the pages you choose into a single PNG, JPG or WebP image, using browser-based processing: the PDF never leaves your device, and only the finished picture is uploaded if you choose to keep it in your library. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Image to PDF: JPG, PNG or scan to PDF, no sign-up](https://sealique.com/guides/image-to-pdf): Drop PNG, JPG or WebP pictures, order them in the browser, pick a page size and download or save one PDF: tall screenshots can be cut into pages automatically. Receipts photographed with a phone, scanned pages, chat screenshots or a slide exported as images all become a single PDF that is easy to send, sign or file. The tool is public, so nobody needs an account, and the result is only kept for signed-in users who leave Save to my documents ticked. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Remove image background online, no sign-up](https://sealique.com/guides/remove-background): Drop the image into Sealique: browser-based processing detects the background colour, makes it transparent with soft edges and trims it; nothing is uploaded. A logo on a white square, a stamp photographed on paper or a signature scanned from a letter all look wrong when placed on a document. This tool turns that flat background transparent so the image sits cleanly on any page. It works for anyone, with no account, and the picture never leaves your device. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Image editor online: crop, text, cover](https://sealique.com/guides/edit-image): Open the image editor in your browser: add or replace text, cover details, draw arrows, crop and rotate; nothing is uploaded, the picture stays on your device. Screenshots with a phone number to hide, a scanned form that needs a date, a photo that needs an arrow and a caption: the image editor handles the everyday jobs in the browser. It needs no account, and because the picture is processed on your device nothing leaves your computer or phone unless you choose to save the result to your library. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Word to PDF online: DOCX to PDF, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/word-to-pdf): Upload the DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF file to Sealique: it is converted to PDF on the server with the layout kept, ready for a digital signature. A contract drafted in Word, a memo written in LibreOffice, an old .doc attachment: before it can be signed or shared it needs to be a PDF that looks the same on every device. The tool converts the file on the server and stores the PDF in your library, so the next step (sign it, send it, merge it with annexes) happens without another upload. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [PowerPoint to PDF online, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/powerpoint-to-pdf): Upload the PPTX, PPT or ODP file to Sealique: each slide becomes one PDF page on the server, and the PDF is ready to sign with a digital signature. A board pack, a training deck, a proposal: a PDF of the slides opens on every phone, cannot be edited by accident and can carry a verifiable signature. The tool converts the deck on the server and keeps the PDF in your library for the next step. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Excel to PDF online: XLSX to PDF, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/excel-to-pdf): Upload the Excel file (XLSX, XLS, ODS or CSV) to Sealique: every sheet is printed to PDF with gridlines, fitted columns and a repeated header, ready for a digital signature. Budgets, invoices, attendance lists and reports often live in spreadsheets but travel as PDFs. The tool prints every sheet to PDF on the server using the workbook's own print settings, then keeps the PDF in your library so it can be numbered, merged or signed. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [HTML to PDF online: web page to PDF, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/html-to-pdf): Enter a public web address, paste HTML or upload an HTML file: Sealique renders it to PDF on the server, ready in your library for a digital signature. Terms of service, an online invoice, a published article, a form you built in HTML: a PDF keeps a dated copy that can be filed, merged with other documents or sealed with a verifiable signature. The tool fetches or receives the HTML and renders it on the server. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [PDF to Word online: editable DOCX, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-to-word): Upload the PDF to Sealique: the pages are rebuilt on the server as an editable DOCX with flowing paragraphs, headings, real tables and pictures, then download it in your browser. A contract that needs a new clause, a report to reuse, a form someone sent as PDF: the tool turns it back into a Word file you can edit. Because PDF stores positioned text rather than paragraphs, the result is faithful for documents that came from a word processor and rougher for designed layouts. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [PDF to PowerPoint online: PDF to PPTX](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-to-powerpoint): Upload the PDF to Sealique: each page becomes one editable slide with text boxes, native tables and pictures in place, built on the server and downloaded from your browser. Somebody sent the slides as a PDF and the deck has to be updated for the next meeting. The tool rebuilds a PPTX with one slide per page, text in editable boxes and pictures where they were, so you edit instead of retyping. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [PDF to Excel online: extract tables to XLSX](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-to-excel): Upload the PDF to Sealique: the tables on each page become an XLSX workbook, one sheet per table, numbers and colours kept, downloaded from your browser. Price lists, statements, attendance registers and reports arrive as PDFs and need to be totalled, filtered or imported. The tool detects the tables on each page and gives you a workbook you can open in Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [PDF to PDF/A converter online, nothing to install](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-to-pdfa): Upload the PDF to Sealique: it is rewritten as PDF/A-2b on the server with Ghostscript, fonts embedded, and the archive copy lands in your library ready for a digital signature. Records that must still open in twenty years (contracts, minutes, certificates, filings) belong in PDF/A, the archive profile that embeds every font and forbids anything that depends on outside resources. The tool makes that copy on the server and keeps the original next to it. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [PDF workspace: every page tool, one preview](https://sealique.com/guides/pdf-workspace): Open the PDF workspace in Sealique: every page-level tool works on the same document in your browser, you preview the result, then save once; nothing is uploaded twice. Running tools one after another used to mean saving a copy after each step. The workspace keeps the document open while you rotate, crop, reorder, add pages from other PDFs, number, watermark, redact, compress or protect it, shows the result before anything is written, and saves once. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Rotate PDF pages online and save the result](https://sealique.com/guides/rotate-pdf): Open the PDF in Sealique, pick 90, 180 or 270 degrees for all pages or a range; the rotated copy lands in your library ready for a digital signature. A scan that came in sideways, a landscape table in a portrait report, a page upside down: rotating in a viewer only changes the display, while this tool writes the rotation into the PDF so it stays fixed wherever the file goes. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Add page numbers to a PDF online, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/add-page-numbers): Open the PDF in Sealique, choose the position, format, starting number and font size; a numbered copy lands in your library, ready for a digital signature. Merged annexes, minutes with a cover page, a scanned bundle for a tender: page numbers make a document citable and show when a page is missing. The tool draws them on the server in the position and format you choose. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Add a watermark to a PDF online](https://sealique.com/guides/add-watermark): Open the PDF in Sealique, type the watermark text or choose a picture, pick centred or tiled; the watermarked copy lands in your library, ready for a digital signature. A draft that must not be mistaken for the final version, a confidential report shared for review, a proposal with your logo on every page: a watermark says it on every page without changing the content. The tool draws it on the server, centred or tiled, with the transparency you pick. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Crop PDF pages online, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/crop-pdf): Open the PDF in Sealique, draw the area to keep in your browser or type the margins; the cropped copy lands in your library, ready for a digital signature. Wide scanner margins, a letterhead you do not need, a figure to extract from a report, a page to read comfortably on a phone: cropping keeps only the part of the page that matters. Draw the area on the preview or type the margins, and the tool trims every selected page the same way. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Fill PDF forms online, flatten too](https://sealique.com/guides/fill-pdf-forms): Open the PDF form in Sealique: its fields are listed in your browser; fill them, then save a copy that stays editable or is flattened, ready for a digital signature. Application forms, declarations, registration sheets: when the PDF has real form fields, filling them in a list is quicker and cleaner than typing boxes over the page. The tool lists every field with its label, fills them on the server and lets you decide whether the next reader may still edit. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Password protect a PDF online with AES-256](https://sealique.com/guides/protect-pdf): Upload the PDF to Sealique, set an open password or a permissions password, tick what readers may do, and download the AES-256 encrypted copy from your browser. A payslip sent by e-mail, a report for a closed group, a price list that must not be copied into a competitor's spreadsheet: password protection keeps a PDF closed to anyone without the password and limits what those who open it can do with it. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Unlock PDF: remove the password online](https://sealique.com/guides/unlock-pdf): Upload the PDF and its password to Sealique: the encryption and restrictions are removed on the server and the open copy lands in your library, ready for a digital signature. A statement that asks for a password every time, a form that will not print, a report whose text cannot be copied into the minutes: when you are entitled to the content, the tool removes the lock so the file behaves like any other PDF. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Redact a PDF online: remove text for good](https://sealique.com/guides/redact-pdf): Open the PDF in Sealique, draw black boxes over the words in your browser; the marked pages are rasterised on the server so the covered text no longer exists. A cover box in an editor hides text from the eye and leaves it in the file for anyone to copy. Redaction is different: the pages you mark are re-rendered as pictures with the boxes burnt in, so names, account numbers and paragraphs are gone for good before the document is shared or published. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Compress PDF online: reduce size, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/compress-pdf): Upload the PDF to Sealique and choose a quality level: images are recompressed on the server and the smaller copy lands in your library, ready for a digital signature. A scanned contract of 30 MB, a photo-heavy report that bounces from a mailbox, a bundle for a portal with a size limit: compression makes the pictures lighter and the file structure tighter while the text stays sharp and selectable. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Repair a corrupted PDF online, no watermark](https://sealique.com/guides/repair-pdf): Upload the damaged PDF to Sealique: its structure is rebuilt on the server and the readable pages become a clean file in your library, ready for a digital signature. A download that stopped halfway, an e-mail attachment that was mangled, a scan the scanner saved badly: the viewer says the file is damaged. Most such files still contain their pages; the tool rebuilds the index that points to them and writes a file every viewer can open. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [OCR PDF online: make scans searchable](https://sealique.com/guides/ocr-pdf): Upload the scan to Sealique and choose English, French, German or Swahili: the recognised text is added as an invisible layer, making the PDF searchable in any browser. A scanned contract, a photographed letter, an old report: as a picture it cannot be searched, quoted or converted. OCR reads the characters and puts real text behind the image, so Find works, PDF to Word has something to work with and screen readers can read the page. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Compare two PDFs online: text diff](https://sealique.com/guides/compare-pdf): Upload both PDFs to Sealique: their text is compared page by page on the server and the differences shown side by side in your browser, added and removed words highlighted. The counterparty sent version 3 of the contract and says only the dates changed. Before anyone signs, the comparison shows every line that differs between the two files, page by page, so the claim can be checked in a minute instead of being read twice. (reviewed 2026-10-12)
- [Send a PDF for signature to several signers](https://sealique.com/guides/request-signatures): Upload the PDF to Sealique, place a field per signer, enter their e-mails and send: signers sign from the link, in order or at once, then PAdES seals the PDF. This is the Documents workspace of Sealique: the place for contracts, agreements and approval letters that other people must sign. You prepare the document once, send it, and Sealique handles the invitations, the reminders, the order, the consent and the final PAdES seal. Signers need no account and can sign from any phone. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Create an e-signature online: draw or type](https://sealique.com/guides/create-signature): In Sealique you draw a signature on screen, type it in a handwriting style, or upload a photo cleaned in your browser, then save it to reuse. A saved signature is the image placed in every signature block you sign in Sealique, whether you sign your own PDF in a minute, sign a document someone sent you, or check in at a meeting. You can keep several (a full signature, initials, one for each role) and choose a default. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Document library: folders, sharing, versions](https://sealique.com/guides/document-library): The Sealique library keeps every uploaded, edited and PAdES-sealed PDF in one place, filed in folders and sub-folders, shared for viewing by e-mail and revocable at any time. Every PDF that passes through Sealique, uploaded for signature, edited, split, merged or sealed, is listed in your library with its status and its origin. Folders and sub-folders keep it tidy, a viewer opens any file without downloading it, and sharing for viewing replaces the e-mail attachment that can never be taken back. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [QR code attendance for meetings and trainings](https://sealique.com/guides/qr-attendance): Create the event in Sealique, display the QR poster, and participants check in from their phone camera; the attendance report is sealed with a PAdES digital signature. Meetings, trainings, workshops and multi-day conferences all need a reliable record of who was there. Instead of a paper sign-in sheet, participants scan one QR code, enter their details and sign on the screen. The organiser follows the list and ends up with a sealed report: anyone can upload the PDF on the verification page to check the PAdES signature and that the file was not altered. Before the event, an optional who's coming page lets invitees say whether they will attend, and it can also be listed on the public board at /happening/. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [QR code attendance register for meetings](https://sealique.com/guides/attendance): A QR attendance register is one QR code that participants scan to check in and sign from their phone; Sealique exports the list as CSV and a PAdES-sealed PDF. This is the product page for attendance in Sealique. One event holds the register for a meeting, a multi-day training, a conference or a class: a printable QR poster, a check-in form with the fields you choose, per-day opening windows, the live list, exports, and a sealed PDF that anyone can verify. Organisers need only an account, no card and no trial clock, and participants never install anything. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Meeting minutes that flow into signatures](https://sealique.com/guides/meeting-minutes): Open the event's minutes in Sealique, write them with co-authors, then send them to signatures: the attendees you choose sign and you seal the PDF with a PAdES digital signature. Minutes are only useful when they are written quickly, agreed by the people in the room and kept in a form that cannot be quietly changed later. In Sealique the minutes belong to the event, so the attendance list, the decisions and the action points sit in one record. The final PDF can then be signed by the attendees you choose, such as the chair and the secretary, and sealed with a PAdES digital signature. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [From meeting minutes to a signed record, one flow](https://sealique.com/guides/minutes-to-signatures): Take attendance by QR code, write the minutes together, then send the approved minutes for signature: the signed PDF carries a PAdES signature and a QR code anyone can verify. A meeting produces three records that usually live in three places: the sign-in sheet on paper, the minutes in a Word file, and the signatures on a scan. Sealique keeps them in one event: participants check in by QR code, the minutes are written in a shared editor with mentions and versions, and the final PDF is signed by the people you choose and sealed so that the record can be verified years later. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Recurring meeting schedule with QR attendance](https://sealique.com/guides/recurring-meetings): A recurring series in Sealique generates one event per occurrence, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, each with its own QR code attendance register, minutes and reports. Weekly staff meetings, monthly board meetings, a training every Tuesday and Thursday: a recurring series in Sealique describes the rhythm once, and every occurrence becomes a normal event with its QR code, its participants, its minutes and its sealed attendance sheet. Nothing is copied by hand, and past meetings never change when the series does. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Event page with RSVP and QR check-in](https://sealique.com/guides/event-page): An event page in Sealique is a public link where guests say I'm coming, Maybe or Can't, see who else is coming, and check in by QR code. Every event in Sealique can have a public page: a cover photo or gallery, a headline, a countdown and a join card where guests say whether they are coming and how excited they are. The wall shows who is coming, with their messages. On the day, the same page offers a QR check-in, so you can compare promises with the people who actually came. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Online data tables: Excel and CSV, no file chaos](https://sealique.com/guides/data-tables): Upload a CSV or Excel of up to 2 GB to Sealique: the rows become a database table shared with roles, edited in the browser and read over an API. Spreadsheets travel by e-mail, get renamed v3-final, and nobody knows which copy is right. A Sealique data table keeps one copy in a database: you share it with viewers, contributors, editors and managers, collect new rows through forms, clean the data with rules and scripts, analyse it with charts, pivots and dashboards, and read it from other systems over an API. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Online form builder for data collection](https://sealique.com/guides/data-collection-forms): A Sealique form is built from a table's fields: people fill it in a phone browser, each entry becomes a row, and a district dropdown depends on the province chosen. Forms live inside the data tables of Sealique. Instead of a form that e-mails you answers to copy into Excel, the form writes directly into a table with typed fields, rules and history. Data collectors, enumerators, members and the public can all fill it in from a phone browser; nothing is installed. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Dashboards from data tables, shared by link](https://sealique.com/guides/data-dashboards): Build a dashboard in the browser from one or several Sealique data tables: KPI cards, charts, pivots and summary tables, shared by link or by role. Numbers that live in a spreadsheet are copied into slides, e-mailed and outdated the next day. A Sealique dashboard sits on top of the live data tables: pick a table, choose what to show in plain words ("Sum of Amount by Province as a bar chart"), place the cards where you want them, add filters, read the automatic interpretation, and share one link instead of a file. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Organisations and teams: roles and sharing](https://sealique.com/guides/teams): An organisation in Sealique groups colleagues under one name and logo with owner, admin and member roles; events, QR code registers and reports are shared with it in one click. An account in Sealique is personal; an organisation is where a ministry, an NGO, a company, a school or a cooperative keeps its people together. Members are invited by e-mail, get a role, and find the events and reports shared with the organisation without anyone forwarding files. Event pages can be hosted in the organisation's name.

- [Sign-in sheet template (PDF) with a QR option](https://sealique.com/guides/sign-in-sheet-template): Download the printable attendance sheet PDF below, or skip paper: a Sealique QR register lets participants check in by phone and exports a PAdES-sealed signed sheet. A paper sign-in sheet is still the fastest thing to put on a table, so here is a clean one: name, organisation, phone or e-mail, time in, signature, with a header for the meeting title, date and venue. The second half of this page explains what the paper version cannot do, and how a QR register produces the same sheet, already signed and sealed, without anyone retyping names. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Issue verifiable certificates with QR codes](https://sealique.com/guides/verifiable-certificates): Sign the certificate PDF in Sealique: every signature block prints a QR code and verification ID, and page marks let anyone check a printout for tampering online. Schools, training providers, associations and public offices issue documents that other people must trust: certificates of completion, diplomas, recommendation letters, clearance letters, licences. A forged copy is easy to make with any editor; a sealed PDF is not, because the verification page compares the file with the copy kept at sealing time and shows the result to anyone who scans the code. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [What is PAdES? PDF digital signatures explained](https://sealique.com/guides/pades-explained): PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures, ETSI EN 319 142) is the standard for digital signatures embedded in a PDF: a cryptographic seal that identifies the signer and reveals later changes. People use electronic signature, digital signature and PAdES as if they were the same thing. They are three layers: an electronic signature is any mark of intent, a digital signature is the cryptographic technique that proves who signed and that nothing changed, and PAdES is the way that technique is stored inside a PDF so every reader and verifier understands it. Sealique seals every signed PDF with PAdES signatures. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Electronic signature in Rwanda: the law explained](https://sealique.com/guides/electronic-signature-rwanda): Yes. Law N° 24/2016 of 18/06/2016 governing ICT recognises electronic signatures in Rwanda, and a PAdES digital signature with an audit trail meets its secure-signature tests. The law follows the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures: a signature is valid when it is linked to the signer, under the signer's control and able to reveal later changes. This page summarises the Rwandan rules in plain language, lists the documents that still need paper, and explains how Sealique produces evidence that satisfies each test. It is a summary, not legal advice. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [Are e-signatures legal in East Africa? The laws](https://sealique.com/guides/e-signature-law-east-africa): Yes. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia all recognise electronic signatures by statute, and each reserves a stronger tier for signatures that identify the signer and reveal changes, which PAdES provides. All four statutes descend from the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures (2001), so they share the same reliability test: the signature must be uniquely linked to the signer, identify the signer, be created under the signer's sole control and be linked to the data so that any later change is detectable. Below is each country's law with its key section and the documents that are commonly excluded. It is a summary, not legal advice. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [E-signature in Kenya: sign and verify PDFs online](https://sealique.com/guides/e-signature-kenya): Sign the PDF in Sealique from any phone: the sealed file carries a PAdES digital signature that meets KICA's advanced electronic signature tests, plus a QR code for verification. Kenya recognised electronic signatures in the Kenya Information and Communications Act (Cap 411A) and opened contracts, registrable documents and land contracts to electronic execution with the Business Laws (Amendment) Act 2020. Sealique is built for East Africa: the interface works in English and Kiswahili, signers need no account, and every sealed PDF can be verified by anyone with a phone. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [E-signature in Uganda: sign and verify PDFs](https://sealique.com/guides/e-signature-uganda): Sign the PDF in Sealique from any phone: the sealed file carries a PAdES digital signature that meets Uganda's Electronic Signatures Act 2011 tests, plus a QR code for verification. Uganda's Electronic Signatures Act, 2011 (Act No. 7 of 2011) gives legal effect to electronic signatures that meet its requirements, and the Electronic Transactions Act, 2011 (Act No. 8) governs electronic contracts and records. Sealique produces the stronger, certificate-backed kind of signature the Act describes, with the interface available in English and Kiswahili, and signers never need an account. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [E-signature in Tanzania: sign and verify PDFs](https://sealique.com/guides/e-signature-tanzania): Sign the PDF in Sealique from any phone: the sealed file carries a PAdES digital signature that meets Tanzania's Electronic Transactions Act 2015 secure-signature test, plus a QR code. Tanzania's Electronic Transactions Act, 2015 (Act No. 13 of 2015) states that a legal requirement for a signature is met by a secure electronic signature and defines what makes a signature secure. Sealique produces exactly that kind of signature, and because the interface, the signing page and the verification page exist in Kiswahili, a signer in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma or Arusha can use it in their own language.

- [DocuSign alternative for Africa, no monthly fee](https://sealique.com/guides/docusign-alternative): Yes. Sealique signs PDFs with PAdES signatures, QR verification, five languages and an API, with no card and no monthly fee; DocuSign, Zoho Sign and SignNow are paid or limited. This comparison is written by the Sealique team, so read it as a vendor's view with the facts checked against the public plans of each product on 2026-10-11. The short version: DocuSign is the enterprise category leader, Zoho Sign and SignNow are the budget seats, and Sealique is the verifiable option without a subscription, built in Kigali for East Africa, with attendance and minutes that no e-signature suite offers. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [iLovePDF alternative with no task limits](https://sealique.com/guides/ilovepdf-alternative): Yes. Sealique edits, splits, merges and converts PDFs with no task cap, no watermark and no card; image tools run in your browser, and results can be signed in place. iLovePDF, Smallpdf and Sejda are good tools with a business model built on limits: a couple of tasks per hour or per day on the entry tier, file-size caps, ads and watermarks until you pay. Sealique takes a different route: the PDF tools come without task caps or a card because they feed the signing flow, and the image tools never upload your picture at all. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [E-signature in Kinyarwanda, Kiswahili, French](https://sealique.com/guides/languages): Sealique runs entirely in English, French, German, Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili: every page, e-mail, signing link and QR code attendance form follows the language you choose, from any phone. A contract between a cooperative in Musanze and a buyer in Nairobi, a training register in Goma, a board resolution in Berlin: the people around one document rarely share a language. Sealique was built in Kigali for exactly that, so every screen a signer, a participant or a verifier sees exists in five languages, and nobody has to guess what they are agreeing to. (reviewed 2026-10-13)
- [Security: how documents are sealed and audited](https://sealique.com/guides/security): Every sealed PDF gets a platform certification seal and one PAdES digital signature per signer, its fingerprint is stored, and every step is written to a hash-chained audit log. This page describes what actually happens when a document is sealed, in the order the code does it, so that auditors, procurement teams and developers can judge the evidence for themselves. Sealique makes no claim it cannot show on the verification page: there is no external timestamp authority and no qualified trust service provider; the seal is issued by the platform's own Root CA and the signing time is the server's time, recorded in the audit log. (reviewed 2026-10-11)
- [E-signature API: sign, verify, webhooks](https://sealique.com/guides/developers): Create a document with one POST to /api/v1/documents, let signers sign from the returned links, receive HMAC-signed webhooks and fetch the sealed PDF with its PAdES digital signature. The Sealique API is a plain REST API under /api/v1 with an OpenAPI 3.1 description, bearer keys in test and live mode, idempotency keys, per-key rate limits and webhooks signed with HMAC. The verification endpoints need no key at all, so any system can check a sealed PDF. This page is the overview; the full reference with every request and response lives in the developer docs.
