Add signature to PDF

Add your signature to a PDF without printing it. Draw it with mouse or finger, type your name in a script font, or upload a photo of your handwriting, then place it on the page and size it. Free, and nothing is uploaded.

How to add a signature to a PDF

  1. 1Drop your PDF in, or click to choose it
  2. 2Draw, type or upload your signature and press Use
  3. 3Click the page, size it by its corner, press Save PDF
  4. Your PDF with the signature on the page.

What happens to your files

  • Nothing is uploaded.Your PDF is opened and changed by your browser, on your own device.
  • Your signature stays in the tab.It is held in memory only, never stored and never sent anywhere.
  • A plain picture on the page.The signature is added as an image, so every viewer shows it.

What you can do

  • Draw with a mouse, pen or finger, in blue or black ink, and clear it to start over.
  • Type your name and pick one of several script fonts.
  • Upload a photo or scan of your handwriting and make its white background transparent.
  • Place the signature anywhere, drag it, pull the corner to resize it, or nudge it with the arrow keys.
  • Sign a signature field in a form: its "Sign here" button fits the signature into the box.
  • Put a date, a tick or typed text on the page before you save.

Good to know

  • This is a visual signature, an image of your name. It is not a certified digital signature with a certificate.
  • Photo uploads should be dark ink on light paper. The transparent background option works on white or near white.
  • A password-protected PDF has to be unlocked first.
  • The signature is gone when you close the tab, so draw it again next time.

Questions

How do I sign a PDF without printing it?

Open it here, create a signature, click where it goes and save. The whole thing happens in your browser.

Is a drawn signature legally valid?

That depends on the document and the country. For many everyday forms an image of your signature is accepted, but ask the recipient if it matters.

Can I use a photo of my real signature?

Yes. Sign on white paper with a dark pen, photograph it, upload it and keep the transparent background option on.

Is my signature stored anywhere?

No. It lives in the open tab only and is dropped when you close it.
