A visual mark, flattened here
Sign a PDF without uploading it
Draw a name, type one, or drop a PNG, then flatten that mark onto the page. This is not a digital certificate. The work stays in this tab. You download a new file.

They stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use this
Use this when a scan just needs a name in the corner, not a certificate. Draw, type, or drop a PNG. The mark is flattened into the page.
This is not PAdES and not a legally binding e-sign product. Anyone with an editor can still cover the mark. For a password, use Protect PDF after.
How to do it
- Drop the PDF. It stays in this tab.
- Draw, type a name, or pick a transparent PNG.
- Drag the mark. Choose this page, all pages, or a selection.
- Sign and download. The original on disk is unchanged.
Tips
- Bottom-right is the usual spot for a letter.
- A PNG with a transparent background sits cleaner than a photo of a napkin.
- Flattened means it is page ink, not a live widget you can drag off.
