Free Sign PDF
Upload a PDF, draw your signature, download it signed.
What is the Sign PDF?
Getting a PDF signed usually means printing it, signing with a pen, scanning it back and hoping it's straight. This tool skips all of that: upload the PDF, draw your signature on screen, drop it where it belongs, add your name and the date, and download the signed document.
Crucially, the file never leaves your browser — it's opened, signed and saved entirely on your device, which matters for anything private.

What does this tool do?
You upload a PDF and it renders each page. Click Add signature to draw your signature in a pop-up pad, then place and resize it on the page. You can also drop in text — your typed name, initials or a note — and insert today's date with one click. Drag everything into position, then download a new PDF with your signature embedded.
It's built for the common case: signing and dating a document yourself, fast and privately.

Tips
- Draw a larger signature in the pad — it looks cleaner when scaled down onto the page.
- Use the date button so the date matches the day you sign.
- Zoom the page in your browser if you need to place the signature precisely on a line.
- Download and keep the signed copy; the tool doesn't store your document anywhere.
- For contracts that must be legally verifiable, use a dedicated e-signature service that records consent, identity and an audit trail.
Common mistakes to avoid
Expecting a legal audit trail
Fix: This embeds a signature image; for verifiable signing use an e-signature service with identity checks and a log.
Signing a scanned image PDF off-position
Fix: Place and resize the signature over the correct line before downloading; drag it precisely.
Forgetting to download
Fix: Nothing is saved for you — download the signed PDF before you close the tab.
Tiny signature
Fix: Draw big in the pad and scale down on the page for a cleaner result.
