Add your signature to any PDF in seconds, without printing or scanning.
What is the Sign PDF Tool?
The Sign PDF tool lets you place a handwritten or typed signature directly onto a PDF document and download the signed result. You draw your signature with a mouse or touchscreen, or type your name and let the tool render it in a signature-style font. Then you position it on the exact page and spot you want. The whole process happens in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
How to Use
- Upload the PDF you need to sign.
- Create your signature by drawing it or typing your name.
- Navigate to the correct page and click where the signature should go.
- Adjust the size if needed, then download your signed PDF.
Use Cases
Signing used to mean printing a document, signing it by hand, and scanning it back in. This tool removes all of that. Use it to sign contracts, consent forms, rental agreements, permission slips, invoices, and NDAs. It is perfect for remote work and quick approvals, letting you return a signed document in a minute rather than hunting for a printer. Because you can type a signature too, it also works for simple sign-offs where a drawn mark is not essential.
Why Use This
Uploading contracts and personal documents to an online signing service means trusting a third party with sensitive information. Here, everything is processed locally, so your agreement stays confidential. There is no account to create and no watermark added to your file — just a clean, signed PDF.
Electronic Signatures Explained
An electronic signature in this context is a visible image of your signature placed onto the page — the digital equivalent of signing a printed page. For the vast majority of everyday agreements this is exactly what is needed and is widely accepted. It differs from a cryptographic digital signature, which embeds a certificate that verifies the signer’s identity and detects tampering. Some formal legal, financial, or government workflows specifically require that certificate-based type. For ordinary forms, approvals, and correspondence, a placed electronic signature is quick, convenient, and sufficient.
