You don't need to print, sign and scan a document any more. This tool puts an image of your signature on the page, right in your browser. Your PDF and your signature are not uploaded anywhere.
Step by step
- Open the Sign PDF tool and choose your PDF.
- Create your signature using one of three tabs: Draw, Type or Upload. Click Use this signature when you're happy with it.
- The signature appears in the middle of the page. Drag it to the right spot, and pull the square handle at its corner to change its size.
- Use the arrows above the page to move to other pages. Click a saved signature to place it again, or choose New signature to make another one.
- Click Download signed PDF.
Three ways to make your signature
- Draw: sign in the box with a mouse, trackpad, finger or stylus. On a phone, turning it sideways gives you more room.
- Type: enter your name and choose a handwriting-style font. The fonts available depend on your device.
- Upload: sign on plain white paper, take a clear, well-lit photo, and upload it. Keep Remove the white background ticked so the signature sits cleanly on the page.
Fixing mistakes
- Click a signature on the page to select it. Press the Delete key, or click the small bin icon, to remove it.
- Nothing is saved until you download, so you can move, resize and remove things freely.
- If a signature looks too faint or too large, remove it and place it again, or resize it with the corner handle.
Is it a legally valid signature?
This adds an image of your signature to the document, the same as signing a printout and scanning it. Many people and organizations accept that, but rules differ by country and by type of document. It is not a certificate-based digital signature and does not record who signed or when. For contracts, legal filings or anything important, ask the person or organization who requested it what they accept.
Privacy
The signature is created and applied in your browser, and it is gone when you close the page. If you want to protect the signed file afterwards, you can lock it with a password.
