Sign a PDF online

Open a PDF, draw your signature with your finger, a stylus or a mouse, and drop it exactly where the signature line is. You can resize and move it, sign more than one page, type your name or the date next to it, and tick boxes. The signed PDF downloads straight away, without a watermark, and the file never leaves your device.

How to use the Sign PDF

  1. Choose the PDF you need to sign.

Signing on a phone

The signature box works with touch, so you can sign with your finger on a phone or tablet. Turn the phone sideways for a wider box, sign slowly, and press Use signature. If the result looks shaky, press Clear and try again; only the drawn part is kept, with the empty space trimmed away.

What kind of signature this is

The tool places an image of your handwritten signature on the page, which is what most people mean by signing a PDF and is accepted for many everyday documents such as offer letters, quotations, school forms and tenancy paperwork. It is not a certified digital signature backed by an identity provider. Some government and banking processes ask for that instead, for example signing with UAE PASS in the UAE. If you are not sure, ask whoever requested the signature which kind they accept.

Keep your signature safe

Your drawn signature is not saved on this site or in your browser; you draw it fresh each time. Because the PDF is processed on your own device, the document is not stored on any server either. Send signed documents only to people you expect, and consider adding the date next to your signature so it cannot easily be reused on another page.

More you can do with the same file

Signing uses the same editor as the PDF editor, so before you download you can also fix a typo in the text, fill in form fields, white out a line or add a stamp image. To combine the signed file with other documents, use Merge PDF afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Is signing a PDF here really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you sign.

Is my document uploaded when I sign it?

No. The PDF is opened, signed and saved in your browser. Only anonymous usage counts are recorded, never the file or your signature.

Can I sign on my phone?

Yes. Draw with your finger in the signature box, then drag the signature into place. It works in the normal phone browser without an app.

Is a drawn signature legally valid?

Many organisations accept a drawn signature on everyday documents, but some official processes require a certified digital signature, such as UAE PASS in the UAE. Check with the person or office that asked you to sign.

Can I sign several pages or add initials?

Yes. Move to another page with the page arrows and press Sign again. Draw your initials the same way and make them smaller with the corner handle.
