Sign a PDF online

Sign documents in a minute, without printing

Draw your signature with a mouse, finger or stylus, type your name in a handwriting font, or upload a photo of your signature on paper. Uploaded signatures can have their white background removed automatically, so they sit naturally on the page. The signature is trimmed, saved as a transparent image and placed on the page you are viewing, ready to move into position.

Is an electronic signature legally valid?

In many countries, a simple electronic signature like this is accepted for everyday agreements, such as forms, letters, quotes and consent slips. Some documents, such as certain property, court or government filings, need a certified digital signature or a wet-ink signature. Check what the recipient requires. This tool adds a visible signature image. It does not add a certificate-based digital signature.
