Why sign a PDF in your browser?

Most things that need a signature these days arrive as a PDF: a consent form, a rental agreement, an invoice, a permission slip. The slow way is to print it, sign with a pen, scan it back and email the scan. You can skip all of that and drop your signature straight onto the page. There are three ways to sign. Draw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger; type your name and have it rendered in a handwriting style; or upload a photo or scan of a signature you already have. Choose the ink colour, click to place it on the page, then drag to position or resize it. You can add it in more than one spot, or across several pages, and sign a batch of PDFs in one go. To be clear about what this is: it places a visual signature image onto the PDF, the digital equivalent of signing a printout with a pen. It is not a cryptographic digital signature or a certificate, so it doesn't verify your identity or make the file tamper-proof. Everything happens in your browser, so your signature and your document never leave your device.

How do I sign a PDF online for free without printing it?

Open the PDF, then draw, type or upload your signature and click to drop it onto the page, no printer or scanner needed. It's a visual signature image (like signing a printout by hand), not a cryptographic certificate, and the whole thing runs in your browser so the document never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create the signature?
Three ways: draw it freehand, type your name and have it set in a handwriting font, or upload an image of a signature you already have (PNG, JPG or WebP). Uploaded images can have their white background knocked out so only the ink shows.
Is this a legally binding digital signature?
It adds a visual signature image to the page, the same as signing a printout by hand. It is not a cryptographic e-signature or a digital certificate, and it doesn't verify identity or lock the file against later changes. A visible signature is enough for many everyday forms, but check what your particular recipient requires.
Can I place my signature exactly where I want it?
Yes. Click to drop it on the page, then drag to move it and pull a corner to resize. You can place it in several spots and on different pages of the same document.
Can I change the ink colour?
Yes, when you draw or type your signature. Choose near-black, blue or red, or pick any colour you like with the colour picker.
Can I sign several PDFs at once?
Yes. Add a batch and sign them together: apply the same signature in the same place to every file, or give each PDF its own placement. The results download individually or as a ZIP.
I also need to fill in the form's fields.
If your PDF has interactive form fields, fill them in and flatten them with the form tool, then come back here to add your signature. Fill a PDF form
Can I add ticks, notes or other marks too?
For freehand ticks, marks, highlights, shapes or sticky notes alongside your signature, use the annotation tool. Annotate a PDF
