Sign a PDF without printing, scanning, or signing up
Sign PDF is a free, browser-based tool for adding your electronic signature to a PDF. Draw, type, or upload a signature, drag it onto the page, and download the signed file. Everything runs on your device, so the document is never uploaded to a server.
When a contract, form, or consent letter lands in your inbox, the old routine — print, sign, scan, send back — wastes time and a printer you may not have. This tool lets you sign the PDF on screen and send it straight back, in a couple of minutes, from a laptop or a phone.
You create your signature one of three ways. Draw it with a mouse, trackpad, or finger; Type your name and pick a signature-style font; or Upload an image of your real ink signature (a transparent PNG looks cleanest). Then drag the signature onto the page where it belongs, or click the spot, and use the corner handles to size it to the signature line. If a multi-page agreement needs your mark in several places, the Apply Signature To options let you put it on the current page, every page, or a custom range like "1-3, 5".
The whole thing runs in your browser. The PDF is read and signed locally and is never uploaded to a server, which matters for contracts, NDAs, and forms with personal details. There's no account to create and no watermark added to the result. When you're done, the signature is flattened into the document and you download a standard signed PDF.
A quick, honest note on the legal side: a typed, drawn, or uploaded signature like this is an electronic signature, which is legally recognized for most everyday agreements under laws such as the US ESIGN Act and the EU's eIDAS. It is different from a certificate-based digital signature, and a few documents — like wills or anything needing notarization — may still require a traditional or qualified signature. When in doubt, check what the specific document requires.
