About this tool
Stop printing documents just to sign them. Draw your signature with a mouse, touchpad or finger, type your name in a handwriting-style font, or upload a photo of your signature on a transparent or white background. Then drag the signature box onto the page and resize it with the red corner.
You can sign a single page or stamp the signature on every page. This adds a visual signature image; it is not a certificate-based digital signature, which some official procedures require.

Questions about Sign PDF
Is an electronic signature legally valid?
In many countries a visual signature is accepted for everyday agreements, but some official procedures require a certified digital signature. Check with the recipient.
Is my signature stored?
No. It exists only in your browser tab and disappears when you close it.
How do I get a clean signature from paper?
Sign on white paper, take a well-lit photo, and upload it. White backgrounds look natural on most documents.
