The features
A clear desktop workflow for software you create at home, at work, or for your customers. Use your existing Microsoft signing resources without entering signing commands by hand.
Single-file signing
Sign one compatible unsigned file and generate a three-page PDF verification report. The report brings together file details, hashes, publisher certificate, timestamp and verification results. Open or print it through your Windows PDF viewer.
Batch signing
Select 2 to 50 compatible files and sign them sequentially with the same certificate profile. The app backs up and verifies each file and shows the results. Batch signing does not generate PDF reports.
Original backups
Before changing a selected file, the app creates and verifies an unsigned backup alongside it. Signing modifies the selected file in place. If signing or verification fails, the application attempts to restore the original; keep your own release backups too.
Verification
After signing, the application checks the Authenticode signature and timestamp. A digital signature identifies the publisher on the certificate and helps detect subsequent file changes. It is not a malware scan or a guarantee of Store or security-software acceptance.
Microsoft authentication
Sign in through Microsoft's authentication experience, then select your existing subscription, signing account and Public Trust certificate profile. Saved application authorization supports repeat use, while Microsoft controls session expiration and reauthentication.
First-launch preparation
Missing Microsoft components are prepared after you first open the application and accept the installation policy. Suitable components already installed are reused. Setup itself installs only the application and its files; authentication and signing still require internet access.
