About Sign PDF

Printing a document just to sign it and scan it back in is a relic — this tool lets you add your signature directly to a PDF on-screen. Draw it with your mouse or finger, type it in a handwriting-style font, or upload a photo of your signature, then place it exactly where it needs to go.

This is a tool for adding a visual signature to a document, not a certified, identity-verified e-signature service with a legal audit trail (the kind DocuSign or Adobe Sign provide for contracts that specifically require that level of verification) — for most everyday signing needs, a visual signature is exactly what's expected. Everything happens locally in your browser using the pdf-lib library; your document is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a legally-binding e-signature?

This adds a visual signature image to your document, the same as signing a printed page and scanning it back in — it doesn't include the identity verification or audit trail that certified e-signature services (like DocuSign) provide for contracts that specifically require that. For everyday documents — forms, letters, informal agreements — a visual signature is exactly what's expected.

Can I sign more than one page?

Yes — place your signature on just the signature page, every page, or a specific page range, depending on what your document needs.

What's the difference between drawing, typing, and uploading my signature?

Drawing lets you sign naturally with your mouse, trackpad, or finger; typing turns your name into a handwriting-style font instantly; uploading lets you use a photo of your actual signature on paper. Use whichever feels most like your real signature.

Is my document uploaded anywhere to sign it?

No. Signing happens entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library.
