Draw or type your signature, then drag it into position on the page

Files never leave your browser — all processing happens on your device.

Drop in the PDF, draw your signature (or type it), and drag it exactly where it belongs — the page preview shows the real document, the box keeps your signature’s proportions, and the signed file downloads without anything ever being uploaded.

How to sign a PDF

  1. Drop the PDF — pages render as previews, and the page selector defaults to the last page.
  2. Draw your signature on the pad (or switch to Type), then Use this signature.
  3. Drag the signature box into position on the page preview and click Sign PDF.

Why the drag-into-place preview matters

Signature placement is a precision job: the line is there, next to the date, above your printed name. Tools that stamp at fixed positions produce signatures floating in margins. Here you position the signature on a rendering of the actual page, resize it by its corners (the aspect ratio stays locked so your signature never stretches), and what you see is what the PDF gets — including on scanned pages stored with rotation, which the tool maps correctly behind the scenes.

The honest part: visible signature, not a certificate

This tool produces what most “sign PDF” tools produce: your signature drawn into the page content — the electronic equivalent of ink. That is what leases, invoices, school forms, and everyday contracts use, and under e-signature laws it generally carries intent just fine. What it is not is a certified digital signature with a cryptographic identity seal; if a government filing or bank demands that, they’ll say so explicitly. Create the reusable PNG version of your signature with the signature generator, mark documents as drafts with the watermark tool, or merge signed pages back into larger packets.

Private by design

A signature on a contract is about as sensitive as files get. Rendering the pages, capturing your signature, and writing the signed PDF all happen in your browser — no upload, no copy on any server, nothing retained after the tab closes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a legally binding signature?
It places a simple electronic signature — an image of your signature applied with intent to sign. Under frameworks like the US E-SIGN Act and EU eIDAS, that is broadly valid for everyday agreements, but some documents (deeds, certain filings) require certified digital signatures with cryptographic identity. When stakes are high, confirm what the receiving party accepts.
Is this the same as a certified digital signature?
No, and honesty matters here: this tool draws your signature into the page like ink — visible, printable, permanent in the file — but it does not attach a cryptographic certificate or tamper-evident seal. Most day-to-day signing (leases, invoices, permission forms, offers) uses exactly this kind of visible signature.
Which page does the signature go on?
Any page you choose — the tool defaults to the last page, where signature blocks usually live, and you can switch with the page selector. Drag the box anywhere on the page preview; its proportions stay locked to your signature.
Can I sign in multiple places?
Run the tool again on the downloaded file: sign once, download, drop the signed PDF back in, and place the next signature. Each pass adds one stamp.
Is my contract uploaded while signing?
No — this is the whole point. The PDF is rendered, signed, and saved entirely in your browser. The documents people sign are exactly the documents that should never sit on a stranger's server.
