Sign PDF

Add a handwritten-style signature to a PDF. Draw it with the mouse or a touchscreen, type it and pick a script face, or upload an image of your signature, then position it where it belongs on the page. This produces a visible signature - the electronic equivalent of signing a printout - which is what most everyday agreements and forms ask for.

How to sign a PDF

  1. Upload the PDF you need to sign.
  2. Create your signature by drawing, typing or uploading an image.
  3. Place it on the page and size it to fit the signature line.
  4. Apply and download the signed document.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legally binding?

In many jurisdictions a visible electronic signature is accepted for ordinary agreements, but it depends on your local law and on what the document requires. Where proof of identity and tamper-evidence is needed, a digital certificate signature is the stronger form.

What is the difference between this and Certificate Sign?

This adds a picture of a signature. Certificate Sign applies a cryptographic signature bound to a certificate, which proves who signed and reveals whether the file has been altered since. They solve different problems and can be combined.

Can someone move my signature onto another document?

An image signature can be copied, which is precisely the weakness a certificate signature removes. Flatten the file afterwards to make it slightly harder, and use a certificate where the risk matters.
