Sign a PDF with your own handwriting

Printing, signing and scanning again is still the most common way to sign a document — and the slowest. Draw your signature once with the mouse, trackpad or finger, then drop it on the page and resize it until it looks right.

The signature is drawn with a transparent background, so it sits on the text like ink on paper. It stays a visual signature (like a scanned one), not a qualified digital certificate.

Frequently asked questions

Is a drawn signature enough?

For most everyday documents, yes — it is a visual signature. Legally binding digital certificates are a different, certificate-based process.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is processed inside your browser, so nothing is left behind once you close the tab.

Do I need an account or a subscription?

No. Every tool is open: no sign-up, no page limits and no watermarks.
