Sign PDF

Add a visible signature to PDF files online. Draw, type, or upload your signature, place it on the right page, and save the finished document in your browser.

Or drop .pdf file(s) here.

Technical Capability Note: This tool applies a Visual Signature (an embedded image of your drawn signature), which is perfectly sufficient for standard business agreements. It does not apply a cryptographic Certificate-based Digital Signature (e.g., PKI), which requires specialized backend infrastructure.

Use these related internal tools when your workflow needs more than signing. They help you prepare, secure, and optimize the final document.

How to use the Sign PDF tool

The workflow is simple. Upload the file, prepare the signature, place it where needed, then save the signed PDF. The extra download button appears beside the main action after the document is ready.

Select one or more PDF files or drag and drop them into the upload area to start the workspace.

2

Create a signature

Draw your signature, type your name in a signature-style font, or upload a PNG or JPG signature image.

3

Use and place the signature

Click Use This Signature, then click the document to place one signature. Repeat if you need another stamp.

4

Save and download

Save the signed PDF. Once processing finishes, a download button appears beside the main action in the workspace toolbar.

Common use cases

This Sign PDF tool is useful for contracts, approvals, forms, and everyday paperwork where a visible signature is enough.

Contracts and agreements

Add a signature to proposals, NDAs, service agreements, and approval forms.

Business documents

Handle letters, invoices, vendor paperwork, and internal document approvals faster.

Remote work and mobile signing

Sign documents from a browser without printing, scanning, or switching to desktop software.

Privacy note

This tool works in the browser and is built for quick signing workflows. As with any document tool, avoid using shared devices for sensitive files unless you trust the environment and clear your downloaded files afterward.

Important limitation

This tool adds a visual signature. It does not apply a certificate-based cryptographic digital signature. That distinction matters for workflows that require PKI or formal certificate validation.
