Sign draws or types a signature and places it with a live preview. Header & Bates stamps a received date, filename or reference on every page as real text. Compress shows the real size of each level before you choose, which is how a listing pack gets under an email cap without the photos turning to mush. Merge combines disclosures with a bookmark per document, Watermark marks drafts as DRAFT or with a client’s name, and Request signatures collects signatures from several parties without the contract sitting on a server in the clear.
The jobs, and the tool for each
Sign an offer or an amendment on any device
Draw with a finger on a phone or type a signature on a laptop, place it on a real render of the page and download. The signature exists only in your browser and in the file; nothing is uploaded.
Sign PDF →Stamp a received date or reference on every page
Template tokens for the date, filename and page numbers, six positions, drawn as real text on the device. A Pipeline stamps a whole folder of documents in one run.
Bates Numbering →Compress a photo-heavy listing pack
Inspection reports and brochures are almost all images, so Balanced at 150 DPI typically cuts them by more than half with no visible change — and the real size of each level is shown before you pick.
Compress PDF →Merge disclosures into one signed pack
Every disclosure shows its first page on a board; order them, merge, and the result carries a bookmark per document. Buyers’ financial paperwork is combined on your device, not on a server.
Merge PDF →Watermark a draft contract or a client copy
DRAFT, a client’s name or a brokerage logo across every page, previewed on the real first page and drawn into the document itself. A team can share one logo with every agent.
Watermark PDF →Get several parties to sign without a server holding the contract
Fields per recipient, the document sealed on your device, each signer on their own device, an audit page and a trusted timestamp on completion. Three requests per 30 days are free; Pro lifts the cap.
Request PDF signatures →What leaves your device
Offers, disclosures, proof-of-funds letters and identity documents are processed in the browser tab and never uploaded; Bindery has no server copy of any transaction and no document-processing API to receive one. That holds on a phone as much as on a laptop — sharing a PDF into the installed app on Android hands it to the browser on the device, not to a server. The optional account stores an email address and sign-in identity, plan status, a minimal daily job count and any synced Pro recipes and presets. Secure handoff links and signature requests are the two features that use Bindery’s storage; they hold packages sealed on the device with AES-256, hashed link tokens, field positions and a log of times and SHA-256 hashes — never the key or the document, and the links are sent by you, not emailed by Bindery. A brokerage using Teams shares presets, signatures and a logo, sees a count of jobs per agent with no file names or sizes, and gets an audit log of admin actions. Bindery makes no claim of compliance with any real-estate or data-protection regulation; it removes the upload and leaves your own obligations in place.
The full list of services, retention periods and subprocessors is on the security page; the verify page shows how to confirm the no-upload claim in your own browser.
Questions people ask
Can I do this from my phone between showings?
Yes. On Android, install Bindery from Chrome and share a PDF from any app straight into it; on iPhone, add it to the home screen from Safari and open files from the Files picker. Signing works with a finger, and every tool runs on the phone rather than on a server.
Will compressing an inspection report ruin the photos?
At Balanced, no: images are kept at 150 DPI, which looks the same on screen and on an office printer, and the size of each level is shown before you choose. Email & web at 96 DPI is for screen-only copies. Text is never touched, so the report stays searchable.
Are the collected signatures legally binding?
The completed file carries each signer’s drawn signature, a hash-chained audit page and a certification with an RFC 3161 timestamp — the evidence trail electronic-signature laws describe. Whether that suffices for a particular contract depends on your jurisdiction; check with your broker or counsel.
