- Click Sign and download the signed PDF.
No more printing, signing, scanning and sending back. This tool puts your signature straight onto the PDF: a lease, a quote to accept, an employment certificate, a leave request or a purchase order going back to a supplier.
There are three ways to create your signature: draw it with your finger on a phone screen or with a mouse, type your name in a handwritten style, or upload a photo of your signature on white paper. Move and resize it on the preview, then choose whether it should appear on every page (handy for initialling each page of a contract) and whether today's date should be added underneath.
This is a visual signature, like a scanned handwritten one — not a certified electronic signature with a digital certificate. It works for most everyday paperwork; if a process requires a qualified e-signature, check with the organization involved.
Your document is processed in memory and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. No account required.
Frequently asked questions
How do I electronically sign a PDF?
Upload the PDF, draw or type your signature (or upload a photo of it), place it on the page, add a date if needed and download. The signature is embedded in the PDF, so it stays in place in any reader.
Is this signature legally binding?
It is a visual signature (an image placed on the page), not a certified electronic signature. It is fine for a lot of everyday paperwork, but it does not replace a qualified e-signature when one is required.
Can I sign on my phone?
Yes. On a smartphone you can draw your signature with your finger, then place it on the page.
How do I initial every page of a contract?
Tick “Put it on every page” and the signature is added in the same spot on all pages. For two or three specific places, for example the initials box at the bottom and the signature line on the last page, click “Add another spot”, drag each copy where it goes, and sign once.
Can I use a photo of my real signature?
Yes. Sign on a white sheet, take a photo and upload it. A clean white background and a sharp photo give the best result.
Is my document safe?
The file is processed in memory and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. We keep neither the PDF nor your signature.
