Sign a PDF

Add your handwritten signature, initials and the date to any page of a PDF. Draw it, type it or use a photo of your signature on paper. The document never leaves your device.

How it works

  1. Draw with a mouse, finger or stylus, type your name in a handwriting style, or drop a photo of your signature: the white paper is removed automatically.
  2. Place it on any page, drag it into position and pull the corner to resize. Add today's date the same way.
  3. The signature is added as an image on top of the page; the rest of the PDF is not changed.

Questions

Is this a legally valid signature?

It is a simple electronic signature, the same as signing a printout and scanning it, which many contracts and forms accept. Some processes require a qualified or certificate-based signature (QES); for those, use your bank or government signing app.

Is my signature stored anywhere?

No. It exists only in this browser tab and is gone when you close it.
