Introduction

Signing PDF files has never been easier. With the PDF Signature Tool, you can create and apply your electronic signature directly in your browser — no installation, no registration, and no server uploads.

Whether you’re signing a contract, invoice, or form, this free tool helps you finalize documents securely and quickly.


Step 1: Upload Your PDF File

Visit the PDF Signature Tool page and upload your document:

  • Click “Drop PDF file here or click to browse”, or simply drag and drop your file.
  • The tool supports standard .PDF files only. Once loaded, you’ll proceed to create your personal signature.

Step 2: Create Your Signature

You have two flexible options:

  1. ✏️ Draw Your Signature – Use your mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen to sign naturally.
  2. 🖼️ Upload a Signature Image – If you already have a saved signature (preferably a PNG with a transparent background), upload it directly.

After drawing or uploading, click “Use This Signature” to continue.

💡 Tip: If you need to create a separate signature image (e.g., for emails or documents), try our Handwritten Signature Tool — it lets you export your signature as a clean PNG/JPG file.


Step 3: Place the Signature

Once your signature is ready, navigate through the pages of your PDF and click where you want to place it.

  • You can adjust the signature size using the slider below the preview.
  • The tool supports multi-page documents, so you can sign one or multiple pages as needed.
  • If you misplace a signature, simply click “Remove from This Page.”

When you’re done, click “Confirm & Continue.”


Step 4: Download the Signed PDF

Click “Download Signed PDF” to export your completed file.

Your signed document will be instantly generated and downloaded to your computer as a secure, flattened PDF.

All processing happens entirely in your browser, ensuring your private documents never leave your device.
