What Sign PDF does
This tool lets you sign a PDF without printing, scanning or installing anything. Drop in your document, create your signature by drawing it with your mouse or finger, or by typing your name in a handwriting-style font, then click the exact spot on any page where it belongs. A size slider keeps it neat on the signature line, and one click gives you back the signed PDF. It is built for the everyday moments when someone emails you a contract, a consent form, an NDA or a rental agreement and asks you to “just sign and send it back.”
Everything happens on your own device. Because your document never leaves the browser, it stays private — which matters a lot when what you are signing is personal or confidential.
How to sign a PDF
- Drag your PDF onto the drop zone, or click to pick it from your device.
- Choose Draw and sign with your mouse or finger, or choose Type and enter your name.
- Press the signature button to lock it in, then set the size with the slider.
- Click the page exactly where the signature should sit — you will see it appear there.
- Press Sign & download PDF to save your signed document.

Why sign here
There is no account, no watermark stamped across your page and no cost. The document is processed entirely on your machine, so a signed contract or a private form never touches a server. It works the same on a laptop, tablet or phone, and the touchscreen makes drawing a real signature genuinely easy.
For a signature image on an everyday document this is all you need. Explore the rest of the free PDF tools to merge, compress or add a watermark before you send.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I sign a PDF here?
- Drop in your PDF, then draw your signature with the mouse or touchscreen, or type your name and it becomes a handwritten-style signature. Click the spot on the page where you want it, adjust the size, and download the signed PDF.
- Is my document uploaded to a server?
- No. The whole thing runs in your browser on your own device — the PDF, your signature and the signed result never leave your computer. That makes it safe for contracts, agreements and anything confidential.
- Can I place the signature on any page?
- Yes. Every page is shown, and you click exactly where the signature should go. A size slider lets you make it larger or smaller so it fits the signature line.
- Does typing my name count as a real signature?
- Type mode renders your name in a handwriting-style font and stamps it onto the page, which is fine for most everyday forms and agreements. For a hand-drawn look, use Draw mode and sign with your mouse or finger.
- Is this a legally binding e-signature?
- It places a visible signature image on the PDF, which is what most everyday documents need. It does not add a cryptographic digital certificate, so for legally regulated signing (qualified e-signatures) use a certified provider.
