Create your signature, place it on the page, then download the signed PDF.
What this tool is for
This tool lets you add a handwritten (drawn) or typed signature to a PDF, directly from your browser — handy for signing a contract, a quote, or a certificate without printing or scanning anything.
Practical use cases
- Signing contracts: approve an agreement without printing, signing by hand, and scanning it back.
- Approving quotes: sign a supplier's quote and send it back the same day.
- Certificates and forms: quickly add a signature to an official form before submission.
How to use this tool
- Add the PDF you want to sign.
- Draw your signature with your finger or mouse, or type your name for a stylized signature.
- Click "Use this signature".
- Click on the page where you want to place the signature.
- Click "Apply and download".
Key benefits
- Two ways to sign: by hand or by simply typing your name.
- Live preview of the chosen placement before export.
- Signature embedded directly into the final PDF, ready to send.
Practical tips
- On mobile, use your finger for a more natural-looking drawn signature.
- Check the placement on the right page before applying: each signature can only be placed in one spot at a time.
- The typed signature style is a quick option when a drawn signature isn't practical on your device.
Good to know
This signature is visual (an image inserted onto the PDF): it doesn't carry the legal weight of a certified electronic signature (eIDAS, DocuSign, etc.). For a document that needs stronger legal standing, use a qualified electronic signature service instead.
Common problems
If the signature looks too large or small once placed, undo and adjust it before applying — the canvas preview reflects final size. On touchscreens, a stylus generally gives a cleaner drawn signature than a fingertip.
Frequently asked questions
Does this signature have legal value?+
It's a visual signature, useful for most everyday purposes, but it doesn't carry the legal weight of a qualified electronic signature (eIDAS). For documents that need strong legal standing, use a certified electronic signature service instead.
Can I sign on several pages?+
Currently, one signature is placed at a time. To sign several pages, repeat the process for each file, or consider merging the signed files afterward with the Merge PDF tool.
