How to Sign a PDF Online (Free E-Signature)

Printing, signing and scanning a document is a relic. The Sign PDF tool lets you draw your signature, drop it exactly where it belongs on the page, resize it, and download the signed PDF — all in your browser, so confidential documents never leave your device.

Why sign PDFs in your browser

Browser-based signing keeps sensitive contracts and forms private because nothing is uploaded. It's instant, works on any device, and produces a normal PDF you can email or print. For most everyday agreements, a placed signature image is exactly what's needed.

How to sign a PDF

  1. Open the Sign PDF tool and add your document. 2. Draw your signature in the pad. 3. Click on the page to place it, then drag to position and use the corner handle to resize. 4. Download the signed PDF. Everything runs locally.

Placing your signature well

Size the signature to match the signature line and place it just above it. You can add it to multiple pages if the document needs initials throughout. If you'd rather create a reusable signature image first, use the Signature Generator, then sign here.
