Sign PDF.

Most tools make signing one PDF absurdly hard: create an account, start a trial, hit a monthly cap, get a watermark. This one just signs. Draw your signature with a mouse or finger, type it in a script font, or upload a photo of it — then click where it belongs, add a date or text if the form asks, and download. The contract never leaves your device, and your signature is kept only in this browser, never sent anywhere.

Files stay on your device — nothing is uploaded.

i. Drop the PDF you need to sign onto the box above.
ii. Draw, type or upload your signature — optionally remembered only in this browser for next time.
iii. Click the page to place it; drag to move, use the corner handle to resize. Add dates, text or checkmarks the same way.
iv. Download the signed PDF — flattened locally with pdf-lib. Nothing was uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature made this way legally valid?

This tool places a simple electronic signature — an image of your signature in the document, the same kind most e-sign tools apply. Simple e-signatures are widely accepted for everyday agreements under laws like the US ESIGN Act, UETA and the EU’s eIDAS regulation, but some documents (wills, notarized deeds, some court filings) require more. This is not legal advice — when in doubt, ask a professional.

Is my document or signature uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is rendered, signed and rebuilt entirely in your browser — there is no upload endpoint, and it works with Wi-Fi off. If you choose to remember your signature, it is stored in this browser’s local storage only, and you can forget it with one click.

Is this a certified digital signature?

No — it is a visual signature, not a certificate-based cryptographic signature, so PDF readers will not show a "digitally signed" banner. For everyday contracts that is exactly what the mainstream tools apply too; certificate-based signing requires an identity-verified certificate from a trust provider.

Can I fill in forms too?

Yes — besides signatures you can place dates, checkmarks and free text anywhere on any page, which covers most flat forms.

Are there limits or watermarks?

No account, no per-month cap, no watermark, no file-size tricks. It is free.
