A visual mark, on your computer
Sign a PDF
No files yet. Drop them above. They stay on your computer.
Sign PDF here means: draw a name, type one, or drop a PNG, then flatten that mark onto the pages you choose. The signature becomes page content. Someone later cannot drag it off like a live form widget. Work stays in this browser. You download signed.pdf. The file on disk is unchanged.
This is not a legal digital certificate and not PAdES. It will not prove identity the way a qualified e-sign does. It is a picture of a signature, useful for a scan that just needs a name in the corner. Unlock password-protected PDFs on your computer first. Close the tab and the working files are gone.

How to sign a PDF in your browser
- Drop one PDF. It is read in this tab, never uploaded.
- Draw on the pad, type a name, or pick a transparent PNG of a signature.
- Drag the mark on the preview. Snap a corner if you prefer. Choose this page, all pages, or a selection.
- Sign PDF and download. The original on disk stays as it is.
Sign PDF without uploading
Upload e-sign products store the document and often the certificate. This page never receives the file. You also will not get identity proofing, audit trails, or a cryptographic signature. If you need those, use a proper signing service. If you need a name in the margin, stay here.
Questions
Is this a legally binding electronic signature?
No. This is a visual signature flattened into the page, not a digital certificate or PAdES. It does not prove who signed.
Can someone drag the signature off later?
The mark is drawn into the page content, not left as a moveable widget. A determined editor can still cover or crop it.
Do I need an account to sign a PDF here?
No. There is no sign-up. The work runs in this browser.
Why won’t a password-protected PDF sign?
Encrypted files cannot be opened here. Unlock them on your computer first.
Will signing change my original PDF?
No. You download a new file. The PDF you dropped stays on disk.
