Sign PDF

Sign PDF places a visual signature on your document, either as an uploaded signature image or as a typed name, positioned and sized where you want it on the page.

About Sign PDF

Most everyday paperwork just needs a signature that looks right on the page: a rental agreement, a delivery note, a school consent form, a supplier quote. Printing, signing by hand, scanning and emailing back is slow and produces a worse-quality document each time. Placing a signature directly onto the PDF skips the round trip and keeps the file clean and readable.

The distinction that matters legally: this is a visual signature drawn onto the page, not a cryptographic digital signature backed by a PKI certificate. It does not embed a certificate, does not prove who applied it, and will not show as verified in a reader's signature panel. For contexts that require a qualified or certificate-based signature, you need a certificate authority instead of this tool.

How to sign pdf

  1. Upload the PDF you need to sign, or drag it into the box.
  2. Upload a signature image or type your name, then choose page and position.
  3. Click the sign button to place the signature on the document.
  4. Download the signed PDF and check the signature sits where you expect.

Why use this tool

Image or typed name

Upload a photographed or scanned signature for a handwritten look, or type your name when a clear printed signature is enough.

Precise placement

Choose the page, position and size so the signature lands on the signature line rather than floating somewhere near it.

Private by default

Your signature image and document are processed on our server and deleted within an hour. No account, no watermark, nothing retained.

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature added here legally binding?
That depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement in question. Many routine documents accept an electronic signature, and some, such as certain deeds or notarised instruments, do not. This tool produces a visual signature with no certificate attached, so check the requirement before relying on it for anything consequential.
How is this different from a digital signature?
A digital signature embeds a cryptographic certificate that binds the document to an identity and reveals any later tampering, which readers show as a verified status. This tool draws a signature onto the page. It looks the same to a human but carries no cryptographic proof of who signed.
What image should I use for my signature?
Sign on plain white paper, photograph or scan it, and save a PNG with a transparent background. Transparency matters: a JPEG carries an opaque white rectangle that will cover the signature line and any surrounding text underneath it on the page.
Can I sign more than one page?
Yes. Place a signature on each page that needs one, and use the same position values where documents ask you to initial every sheet. Placement is per page rather than automatic, which lets initials and a full signature go in different spots.
Can someone remove or copy my signature?
A signature image can be extracted from a PDF by anyone with the file, which is true of any visual signature including scanned paper. Encrypt the finished document with Protect PDF when you send it, and avoid publishing a high-resolution signature image anywhere public.
