Sign PDF

Add your signature to a PDF — draw or type it, place it anywhere, and save it to your account for reuse. 100% in your browser.

Signing a PDF used to mean printing it, signing with a pen, and scanning it back — three steps and a lost-quality file. Sign PDF lets you draw or type your signature once, drop it exactly where it belongs, and save it to reuse on the next document. Everything happens in your browser, so a contract you're signing never passes through anyone else's server.

How to sign pdf

  1. 1. Upload the PDF you need to sign.
  2. 2. Draw your signature with a mouse or finger, or type it — then place it where it belongs.
  3. 3. Download the signed PDF, and optionally save the signature to your account for next time.

When to use Sign PDF

Sign and return a contract

Add your signature to an agreement and send it straight back, skipping the print-sign-scan detour entirely.

Approve a form

Place your signature on a consent form, application or authorisation without leaving your desk.

Reuse a saved signature

Save your signature to your account once and drop it onto future documents in a single click.

What kind of signature this is

This adds a visible, handwritten-style signature to the page — the everyday kind that most business and personal documents call for. It isn't a cryptographic digital certificate signature; if a document specifically requires a qualified electronic signature for legal identity verification, use a certificate-based service. For the vast majority of forms and agreements, a placed signature is exactly what's expected.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create my signature?

Draw it with a mouse, trackpad or finger on a touchscreen, or type your name in a signature-style font.

Can I reuse my signature?

Yes — save it to your account and place it on future documents without redrawing it each time.

Is this a legally binding digital signature?

It adds a standard visible signature suitable for most agreements. It isn't a certificate-based qualified electronic signature; use a specialised service where that's specifically required.

Does my document get uploaded?

No. Signing happens entirely in your browser, so the document you're signing stays on your device.
