Why use this tool

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature added here legally binding?

A drawn, typed or uploaded signature is an electronic signature. Many countries accept those for ordinary agreements, but the rules differ by country and by type of document, and some documents need a witness or a specific kind of signature. If a document matters, ask the other party what they require. This is general information, not legal advice.

Is this the same as a digital signature?

No. A certificate-based digital signature is a cryptographic seal tied to a verified identity that shows if the file changes later. This tool places a visible signature on the page. Our guide to digital and electronic signatures explains the difference.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. You can draw your signature with a finger or stylus, and drag and resize items by touch. For precise placement on a small screen, zoom the page or finish on a larger screen.

Can I fill in a PDF that has no form fields?

Yes. Add a text item, type your answer, and drag it onto the blank line. You can change the size and colour so it matches the form.

What happens to my file?

Your PDF is uploaded so it can be processed, and on the free plan it is set to be deleted automatically after about an hour. Uploads can be up to 25 MB. Your signature image is sent only when you press Apply.

Can I sign a password-protected PDF?

Not directly. Remove the password first with the Unlock PDF tool (you need the password), then sign the unlocked copy.
