What Is PDF Signer?
PDF Signer lets you add your signature to any PDF document. Draw your signature, type it, or upload an image — then place it precisely on the page. It’s built for contracts, agreements, consent forms, and any document that needs a signature without printing.
How to Use This Tool
Upload a PDF, then create your signature by drawing it with your mouse or trackpad, typing your name in a script font, or uploading a signature image. Position and resize the signature on the correct page, then download the signed document. Your file and signature stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Why Use PDF Signer?
Dedicated e-signature platforms charge per document or require monthly subscriptions. This tool lets you sign unlimited PDFs for free with no account required. Since it runs entirely client-side, your documents and signature data remain private. For a detailed walkthrough, see our step-by-step guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a legally binding e-signature?+
In the US, the ESIGN Act (2000) makes electronic signatures legally equivalent to handwritten signatures for most contracts when both parties agree to sign electronically. This tool produces a visible signature image embedded in the PDF, which is the same approach used by many e-signature products. For signatures requiring cryptographic audit trails (real estate, some regulated industries), use a service like DocuSign or Adobe Sign.
Are my documents uploaded?+
No. The PDF is opened, rendered, signed, and saved entirely on your device. Nothing leaves your browser.
Can I add initials, dates, or text?+
Yes. You can place typed text anywhere on the page, including names, dates, and initials. You can also use a different typed signature style for initials.
Can I sign multiple pages?+
Yes. Navigate between pages and place a signature on each page as needed. Each placement is independent.
Can I draw, type, or upload a signature?+
All three. Draw with mouse or touch, type your name in one of seven cursive fonts, or upload a PNG/JPG of a hand-drawn signature with the background made transparent automatically.
How do I position the signature?+
After creating it, drag the signature onto any page. Resize from the corner, rotate via the handle, and drop. Multiple signatures on multiple pages are supported.
Is the signature embedded as an image or a vector?+
Typed signatures are embedded as vector text using a cursive font, so they remain sharp at any zoom. Drawn signatures are embedded as a transparent PNG sized for the placement.
Will the signed PDF still be searchable?+
Yes. Signing adds an overlay layer; the underlying text layer remains untouched, so search, select, and copy work exactly as on the original PDF.

Signatures can be drawn freehand with a trackpad or stylus, typed in one of six handwriting-style fonts, or uploaded from a PNG with a transparent background — useful when you already have a scanned signature on file. Place, resize, and rotate on any page, then save the signed PDF locally. The signature is rendered into the PDF as a real visual element, not a separate annotation layer, so it stays visible when the file is opened in Preview, Acrobat, or any browser PDF viewer.
