Sign PDF puts your handwritten signature on any PDF in a minute. Draw it with a mouse, finger or stylus, type your name in a script style, or upload a photo of your signature – the white background is removed automatically. Then tap the page where it belongs, drag it into position, set the size and download the signed document.
You can sign several pages, or place the signature in the same spot on every page for initials. The document and your signature never leave your device: everything is done by your browser, which matters when you are signing contracts, rental agreements or HR forms.

Is a signature added this way legally valid?
In many countries, including the US (ESIGN Act) and the EU (eIDAS, “simple electronic signature”), an image of your signature placed on a document is generally accepted for everyday agreements such as leases, permission slips and many business forms. Some documents – certain property, court or notarised papers – require a qualified or certificate-based digital signature instead.
This tool adds a visual signature; it does not add a cryptographic certificate. If you are unsure what the other party accepts, ask them. This is general information, not legal advice.
Tips for a natural-looking signature
Draw larger than you need and shrink it with the size slider – the result looks smoother. Blue ink makes it obvious the document was signed rather than photocopied. For an uploaded signature, sign on plain white paper with a dark pen and photograph it in good light; the tool removes the paper colour.
Need a printed name or date next to the signature? Sign and download first, then load the signed PDF again, type the text in the Type tab and place it where it belongs.

Can I use a picture of my signature?
