Sign a PDF

Add your signature to a PDF without printing and scanning it. Draw your signature with a mouse or finger, or use a photo of it on paper, then place it on any page. The PDF is signed in your browser; it is not uploaded, and its text stays selectable.

How to use it

1. Draw your signature in the box, or choose Use a photo of my signature. The background is removed automatically.
2. Drop the PDF in the box. Its pages appear below.
3. Go to the right page and press Add signature to this page. Drag it into place and drag its corner to resize. Add it to more pages if needed.
4. Click Download signed PDF.

Is this a legal signature?

This places a picture of your handwritten signature, the same as signing a printout and scanning it. That is accepted for many everyday forms, letters and agreements. Some documents need a certified digital signature or a wet-ink original; if in doubt, ask whoever requested your signature.

Tips

• A photo of a signature in dark pen on white paper gives the most natural look.
• Protected PDFs must be unlocked first with unlock PDF.
• Need just the signature image for a form? Use the signature resize tool.
