Sign a PDF online

Printing a document to sign it and scanning it back is the most wasteful loop in office work. Create your signature once — by drawing it, typing it in a script font, or uploading a photo of it — then place it exactly where it belongs.

Private by design: your files are held in your browser. Anything processed on the server is deleted within the hour, automatically — we keep no copies.

Questions

Is this a legally binding signature?
This adds a visible signature image to the page — an electronic signature, which is accepted for a great many everyday purposes. It is not a cryptographic digital signature with a certificate, so it does not prove who signed or detect later tampering. For contracts where that matters, use a certificate-based service. We are not lawyers; if the stakes are high, check what your jurisdiction requires.
Can I sign on a phone or tablet?
Yes, and drawing with a finger or stylus on a touch screen usually gives a better signature than a mouse.
Can I reuse the same signature on other documents?
Yes — draw or upload it again, or keep the image file you uploaded and reuse that.
Do my files stay private?
Yes. Your files are held in your own browser, not in an account on our servers. When a tool has to run server-side, the file is staged for the few seconds the operation takes and then deleted — everything is purged within an hour at the latest, automatically. We store no copies and nothing that identifies you.
