What is PDF Signature?

PDF Signature lets you add your signature to any PDF document without printing. Draw your signature with your mouse or finger, type it with a stylish font, or upload a signature image — then place it precisely on any page of your document.

The signature is embedded as a transparent image on the chosen page using the same PDF object model as the rest of the document, so it travels with the file and prints exactly where you placed it. You can adjust size, colour, and position with drag-and-drop, and the original page content stays intact underneath.

How to use

1. Upload your PDF file, then choose whether to draw, type, or upload your signature.
2. Position and resize your signature on the desired page using drag and drop.
3. Download the signed PDF with your signature permanently embedded in the document.

When to use

• Signing a contract, NDA, or rental agreement received by email without going to a printer.
• Adding initials to every page of a multi-page document before returning it.
• Approving an invoice or expense form with a quick handwritten OK.

Result

You receive a lease agreement via email. Instead of printing, signing, and scanning it back, upload the PDF here, draw your signature with your mouse, place it on the signature line on page 3, and download the signed copy — ready to send back in seconds.

FAQ

Is a drawn signature legally binding?

In most jurisdictions, an image of a handwritten signature on a PDF carries the same weight as a wet signature for everyday agreements (leases, NDAs, vendor contracts). For deeds, wills, or notarised documents you typically need a digital signature with a certificate, not just an image.

Will my signature stay in place if the recipient edits the PDF?

The signature is flattened into the page as a visible image, so opening the file in another viewer shows it exactly as you positioned it. Someone with full PDF editing software could move or delete it, like with any non-encrypted signed PDF.

Can I save a signature to reuse on multiple documents?

Yes. The tool now remembers your last drawn, typed, or uploaded signature right on this device, and offers to drop it back in the next time you open the page. So you can sign one PDF, close the tab, come back tomorrow, and reuse the same signature with a single click. Nothing is sent anywhere; the saved copy lives only in this device's local storage and clearing your site data removes it. If you want to carry a signature to another device, download the transparent PNG and upload it there.

Why does my drawn signature look pixelated on a printed page?

If you sized the signature very small on the editor canvas, the source bitmap is low-resolution. Draw it large on the canvas, then resize down when placing it, so the embedded image has enough pixels for print.

Does the recipient need any special software to view the signed file?

No. The output is a standard PDF that opens in any reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, mobile mail apps). The signature is part of the page content, not a custom annotation that requires a specific viewer.
