How to put a signature on a PDF document

A contract or a form usually arrives as a PDF and has to go back signed today. Printing it, signing with a pen, scanning and sending it back is half an hour of fuss and a worse-looking document. The signature can go straight into the file instead.

Upload the document and make a signature in one of three ways: draw it with a mouse or a finger, type your name in a handwriting font, or upload a photo of your signature from a sheet of paper — its white background is removed for you. Then drag the signature into place, set its size by the corner and, if you need to, put it on every page.

Everything runs in the browser: neither the file nor the signature is uploaded or stored by us. This is a handwritten-style signature — fine for correspondence and everyday paperwork, but it is not a certificate-based digital signature.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign a PDF online for free?

Upload the document, draw your signature or upload a photo of it, drag it into place and press “Sign and download”. No sign-up is needed and the result carries no watermark.

Is this a digital signature?

No. The tool stamps an image of your handwritten signature into the page. That is accepted for correspondence and most everyday paperwork, but a certificate-based digital signature needs a certificate from a trusted authority and dedicated software.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Both the document and the signature stay in your browser on your own device; nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored.

Can I sign every page?

Yes, a multi-page file gets a “Put it on every page” checkbox. The signature lands in the same spot on each page and never stretches, even when the pages differ in size.

How do I insert a signature from paper?

Sign a white sheet, photograph or scan it and open the “Image” tab. The white background is removed automatically, so the signature sits on top of the text with no white box around it.

Can the signature be removed afterwards?

Not from the downloaded file — the signature becomes part of the page, so keep the original if you may need it. Before downloading you can redo or move the signature as many times as you like.
