Is an Image Signature Legally Valid?
An image signature is only appearance; legal effect depends on identity verification, intent, records and local law. Ordinary contracts may accept e-signatures, but real estate/notarization/strong-compliance scenarios usually need a certified service, digital signature or in-person witness.
Image: just a pasted picture.
E-signature: process plus records.
Digital: certificate plus integrity.
Use a compliant platform/lawyer.
Keep the audit trail.
