eSign PDF
Draw, type or upload your signature — then place it
How to e-sign a PDF in your browser
- Create your signature the way you like: Draw it on the pad (finger on a phone, mouse on a laptop), Type your name in a script style, or Upload a PNG you already use. Tap "Use this signature".
- Choose the PDF and the page — contracts usually want the last page, forms want the field's page.
- Click where the signature goes. It appears on the preview at the exact size you set; adjust the size slider and click again if you want it elsewhere or bigger.
- Hit Sign & Download. The signature is embedded as a crisp image on the page you chose.
Is a browser signature "legal"?
An e-signature's legal weight comes from the agreement between the parties and the context (see e-sign laws like ESIGN in the US and eIDAS in the EU), not from the tool that placed the marks. A placed image of your signature in a PDF is the same kind of artifact the big e-sign platforms produce for their "standard" tier. For high-value documents, add the usual professionalism: date it, state the agreed name, and keep both copies. This tool will not advise you on your specific situation.
Why keep the signature in my browser?
Because the two most personal things in this workflow — your document and your signature — should never be handed to a third party to glue together. The signature canvas, the PDF and the final composite all live in the tab; the download is built locally. Nothing is uploaded, stored or profiled.
Will the signature look the same everywhere?
Yes — it is embedded as a raster image at the size you placed, so every reader renders the identical marks. Drawing at a larger size first and placing it big gives the crispest result; a tiny drawn signature scaled up will look soft, which is a property of the drawing, not the tool.
Can I place several signatures?
Yes. Each click adds a placement; the list below the preview lets you remove any of them, and you can move between pages to sign multiple pages in one pass before downloading.
FAQ
- Is my file uploaded to a server? No. The tool runs entirely in your browser — your file never leaves your device. You can verify it yourself: open the network panel and there is no upload request while you work.
- Do I need an account, and is it free? No account and no cost. It is free to use — no signup, no paywall, no daily limit.
- Which browsers does it work in? Any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — on desktop or mobile.
- Is there a size limit? There is no server-side limit because nothing is uploaded. Practical limits come from your device's memory, which comfortably covers normal documents and photos.
- Does it work with encrypted PDFs? Standard PDFs work in every tool. If a file is password-protected, Unlock PDF opens it for you when you have the password, and Protect PDF applies a new 256-bit AES password. No tool bypasses encryption without the key.
