💡 Why sign a PDF online?
When a form, contract or agreement arrives as a PDF, you can sign it right in your browser instead of printing, signing by hand and scanning it back in.
- ✏️ Draw it by hand: Use your mouse or touchscreen for a signature that looks like the real thing.
- ⌨️ Type it in seconds: Type your name and it's rendered in a cursive style automatically.
- 🖼 Reuse an existing signature: Already have a scanned signature or stamp image? Upload it and reuse it.
📌 When to use this
- Government and official forms — sign a downloaded form and submit it again in minutes.
- Contracts and consent forms — sign employment contracts, agreements and waivers quickly.
- Multiple signatures at once — place the same signature on as many pages as you need.
🔒 Is it safe?
Your PDF and the signature you create are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server, so even sensitive contracts stay private. Note that this tool visually inserts a signature image into your document — it is not a certified electronic signature under e-signature law. For legally certified signing, use a certified e-signature service.
