This adds a picture of your signature (a visual electronic signature). It is not a certificate-based digital signature: it does not prove who signed or detect later changes. Check whether a visual signature is accepted for your document.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF, then draw your signature, type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo of it.
  2. Click the page to place it, drag to move, drag the corner to resize; add a date stamp or copy it to other pages as needed.
  3. Select Apply signatures and download the signed PDF.

Example

Draw a signature, click the signature line on page 3, add today's date next to it → page 3 of the downloaded PDF shows both.

Details and limitations

The signature is embedded as a transparent PNG image at the exact spot you chose, including on rotated or cropped pages. The rest of the PDF is not changed.

Typed signatures use the Caveat, Dancing Script or Great Vibes font, downloaded from Google Fonts when you open the Type tab; letters these fonts lack, such as Chinese characters, use a font installed on your device.

FAQ

Is this a legally binding digital signature?

It is a visual electronic signature image, not a certificate-based digital signature. Many everyday forms accept it, but documents that require a qualified or certificate-based signature need a dedicated signing service.

Can I sign a PDF on my phone?

Yes. Draw with your finger on the signature pad, then tap the page to place it and drag the corner handle to resize.

Are my PDF and signature uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored after you close the page.
