Why use Sign PDF

Draw, type or upload

Create a signature the way you like, in several ink colours, and reuse it across the document.

Signature, initials, name, date, text

Fill in everything a form needs. Date formats include DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD.

Private by design

Signing happens in your browser. Your document and signature are never uploaded or stored.

Sign one page or every page

For each field you can choose where it appears: only this page, all pages, all pages but the last, the last page, or a custom list such as 1-3, 5. This is perfect for initialing every page of a contract and signing only the last one.

What kind of signature is this?

This tool adds a visible, simple electronic signature to your PDF, the same as signing with a pen and scanning. It does not add a cryptographic digital certificate or an audit trail. For many everyday documents, such as forms, letters and agreements between people who trust each other, that is enough. If your contract requires a certified digital signature, check with the other party first.

Sign PDF: frequently asked questions

Is it free to sign a PDF here?

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

Is my document uploaded?

No. Your PDF and your signature stay in your browser and are never sent to a server.

Can I sign on my phone or tablet?

Yes. You can draw your signature with your finger or a stylus, then drag and resize it on the page.

Will my signature be saved for next time?

No. For privacy it is kept only in memory while the page is open, so you will create it again on your next visit.

Can I add the date and my name?

Yes. Use the Name, Date and Text buttons to add them anywhere, and choose the date format you prefer.

Is this a legally binding signature?

A simple electronic signature is accepted for many documents, but rules differ by country and document type. If you need a certified digital signature, use a specialised provider.

Can I sign a password-protected PDF?

Remove the password in your PDF viewer first, then sign the unlocked copy.
