Sign a PDF

Client-side only

Your file never leaves your browser. This page has no upload endpoint and its Content-Security-Policy blocks every outgoing connection — open your Network tab to confirm nothing is sent anywhere.

This is a picture of a signature, not a digital signature. It places a drawn or typed image onto the page — the same as signing a printout and scanning it. It does not use a certificate, does not verify who signed it, and does not detect later edits. If you need a legally-relevant cryptographic signature, this isn't that tool.

What this tool does

Sign PDF lets you draw a signature with your mouse or finger, or type your name in a serif/sans style, then click on the page to place it. It renders the page as an image so you can see exactly where the signature will land, then bakes it into a real PDF page using a PDF library — entirely in your browser tab.

How to use it

  1. Drop a PDF onto the box above and pick the page to sign.
  2. Draw or type your signature.
  3. Click on the page preview where it should go, adjust the size, then click Place Signature & Download.

Limitations

This is a visual signature image, not a cryptographic digital signature — see the notice above. Password-protected PDFs are rejected rather than silently skipped. One signature is placed on one page per run; sign multiple pages by running the downloaded result back through the tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a legally binding digital signature?
No. This places an image of a signature onto the page — visually identical to signing a printout and scanning it. It is not a cryptographic digital signature (PKI-based, using a certificate that verifies signer identity and detects tampering). If you need that, use software built for certificate-based signing.
Can I sign more than one page?
This tool places one signature on one page per run. For multiple pages, download the result and run it through again on the same file.
