Sign PDF
Draw or type a signature, drop it exactly where you want on your PDF, and download the signed file - all without your document ever leaving your browser.
Signing a PDF in your browser
Most of the time, "signing" a document just means adding a picture of your signature in the right place and sending it back. That is exactly what this tool does, without a printer, scanner or account. You open the PDF, make a signature by drawing it or typing your name in a handwriting style, then click the page to drop it where it belongs. When you download, the signature is drawn permanently onto the page using the pdf-lib engine - it is not a separate layer that can be peeled off in a normal reader.
Are electronic signatures legally binding?
For everyday paperwork - consent forms, letters of agreement, invoices, internal approvals and a great many contracts - a typed or drawn electronic signature is widely accepted and enforceable across the UK, EU and US, provided both sides intend to be bound by it. The catch is that a handful of document types are treated more strictly. Wills, some property deeds, certain court and notarised documents and specific financial instruments may require a certificate-based digital signature (one that cryptographically proves who signed and that the file has not changed) or a traditional wet-ink original. When in doubt about a formal or regulated document, confirm the requirement before relying on a simple image signature.

Your document stays private
Everything here runs locally in the browser tab, so a signed employment offer or medical form never travels across the internet. If you need to prepare the file first, you can merge PDFs into one before signing, split a PDF down to just the pages that need a signature, or rotate a PDF so a sideways scan sits the right way up. Once signed, compress the PDF if you need a smaller file to email back.
