Sign PDF
Add a hand-drawn, typed, or uploaded visual signature to a PDF
About this tool
Sign PDF adds a visible signature appearance to a chosen page. You can draw with a pointer, type a name in an italic style, or upload a transparent signature image, then adjust page, size, and position before exporting. The optional date line helps with simple document handoff records. This is a visual annotation workflow: it does not create a certificate-backed PKI signature, verify identity, protect against later edits, or replace a regulated e-signature service. The PDF is processed locally in your browser, and you should check the final placement before sharing.
Scenario Recipes
Add a visual approval mark to a PDF handoff
Goal: Place a visible name or signature image on the intended page while preserving an unsigned original.
- Keep the source PDF, then choose draw, type, or upload mode and select the exact page.
- Adjust width and position, optionally add the current date, and generate the signed copy.
- Inspect the downloaded PDF and use a regulated signature provider if identity evidence is required.
Result: The recipient gets a clearly placed visual sign-off without confusing it with a certificate-backed signature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a legally binding digital signature?
No. It adds a visible signature appearance only. Legal and regulated workflows may require identity verification, audit trails, certificates, or a qualified e-signature provider.
Can I sign a specific page?
Yes. Select the page number, then adjust the signature position and width before exporting.
Can I upload an existing signature?
Yes. PNG and JPEG signature images are supported; transparent PNGs usually blend best with the page.
Does signing upload my PDF?
No. The PDF and signature image are processed in the browser.
Will the signature remain editable?
It is drawn into the output PDF page. Keep your original PDF if you need a version without the visual signature.
Can I add a date?
Yes. Enable the date option to place the current ISO date beneath the signature.
