Sign a PDF

On your device

Sign PDF lets you add your signature to a document without printing, scanning or creating an account. Draw your signature, type your name, or upload a picture of it, then place it on the page and download the signed file. Your signature and the PDF stay in your browser, and the signature is cleared when you close the tab. One thing to know: this places an image of your signature on the page, which is a simple electronic signature. It is not a certificate-based digital signature. If the recipient requires a certified digital signature, you'll need a service that issues one. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

FAQ

Is this a legally valid signature?

It's a simple electronic signature: an image of your signature placed on the page. Whether that's acceptable depends on the document and the person or organization receiving it. If you're not sure, ask them before you send it.

Is this a digital signature?

No. There's no certificate in the file. If someone asks for a certificate-based digital signature, use a service that issues one.

Is my signature uploaded or saved?

No. Your signature and your PDF stay on your device, and the signature is cleared when you close the tab.

Can I move the signature after downloading?

No. Once downloaded, the signature is part of the page. If it's in the wrong place, start again from your original file.

How big can the files be?

The PDF can be up to 500 MB on a computer or 100 MB on a phone or tablet. An uploaded signature image can be up to 5 MB.
