Good to know
Runs on your device
The PDF is signed by your browser. Neither the file nor your signature is uploaded.
Draw or upload
Sign with a mouse, finger or stylus, or use a photo of your signature with the paper cleaned away.
Text stays text
The signature is added as an image on top of the page. The rest of the PDF is not changed.
Not a digital certificate
This places a picture of your signature. It doesn't add a certificate-based digital signature.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF or signature uploaded?
No. Both stay in your browser, and the signed PDF is made on your device.
Is this a legally valid signature?
It's an image of your handwritten signature, the same as printing, signing and scanning. Many offices accept that. Some documents, such as GST or MCA filings, need a certificate-based digital signature (DSC), which this tool doesn't create.
Can I sign several pages at once?
Yes. Place the signature on one page, then press Same spot on every page. You can also place it on any page by hand, as many times as you need.
How do I get a clean signature from a photo?
Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen, and photograph it straight on in good light. Drag the box around the signature and raise Paper cleanup until only the ink remains.
Can I sign a password-protected PDF?
Not if it needs a password to open. Remove it first with the Unlock PDF tool. PDFs that open without a password but have edit restrictions work; the signed file won't keep those restrictions.
