How to Sign a PDF Free
Upload your PDF, draw or type your signature, click Place Signature, then position it on the document page. Export to download the signed PDF. No account, no watermarks, no file uploads — everything runs locally in your browser.
The signature is permanently embedded in the exported PDF and displays correctly in every PDF viewer — Adobe Reader, Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Preview on Mac — without any special plugins or software.
Signature Methods
Draw. Write your signature using mouse, trackpad, stylus, or finger on a touchscreen. Sign slowly for the most natural look. Use landscape orientation on phones for more horizontal space.
Type. Enter your name and select a cursive-style font. Quick and consistent for repeated use on multiple documents.
Upload. Import a PNG or JPEG image of your real handwritten signature. A PNG with transparent background looks most professional on any page background colour — take a photo of your signature on white paper, crop closely, and remove the background in an image editor before saving as PNG.
Legal Validity
Electronic signatures are legally valid for most everyday documents under the Electronic Communications Act (UK), eIDAS Regulation (EU), and ESIGN Act (USA). Employment contracts, service agreements, rental documents, purchase orders, consent forms, and NDAs all accept electronic signatures in these jurisdictions.
A small number of document types — certain deeds, wills, and regulated financial agreements — may still require wet ink signatures or qualified electronic signatures with certificate-based identity verification. Check the specific requirements if you are uncertain about a particular document type.
Signing Tips
Save your signature as a PNG for reuse. Sign on white paper, photograph it, crop closely, remove the white background to create a transparent PNG, and save to a convenient folder. Upload it each time you need to sign without redrawing.
Add a date alongside your signature using the text tool in the editor. Switch to the Edit tab, add a text box, type today's date, and position it next to your signature in the date field.
Flatten the PDF after signing using rifix.xyz/flatten if you need to prevent anyone adding annotations or form field changes above your signature layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my signature stored anywhere?
Your signature exists only in your browser session. It is never sent to any server. When you close the tab, it is gone. To reuse a signature, save it as a PNG image and upload it each time.
Can I sign on mobile?
Yes. The tool works on Safari for iOS and Chrome for Android. Use your fingertip to draw. Apple Pencil on iPad produces especially natural-looking signatures close to pen on paper.
What if the document needs multiple signatures?
Place your signature, export the PDF, then send to the next signer. Each person opens the exported file and adds their signature using the same process. All signatures accumulate as permanent embedded layers in the document.
Can I add initials on every page as well as a full signature on the last page?
Yes. Place your initials signature on the first page, export, re-upload the exported file, add initials on the next page, and repeat. Alternatively, use a small version of your signature and place it on each page before placing the full signature on the final page.
Is the signed PDF accepted by DocuSign or Adobe Sign workflows?
A signature placed with this tool is a visual electronic signature embedded in the PDF page content. It is not a certificate-based digital signature with cryptographic verification as used by DocuSign or Adobe Sign qualified workflows. For everyday business documents this distinction does not matter — both are legally electronic signatures. For regulated industries requiring auditable identity verification, use a certified e-signature platform.
