How To Sign A PDF Online Without Uploading It

Sign PDF is a visual signature tool. It places your handwritten mark on the page - useful for everyday signing where what matters is that the document carries your name in your hand.

If you need a legally-binding e-signature with a cryptographic certificate and an audit trail - the kind of signing that holds up in court or for regulated industries - use DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or a similar certified service. Sign PDF is not that. It's the casual, fast, private alternative for the 90 percent of signings where certification is overkill.

Open Sign PDF. Drop the PDF in. Draw your signature on the canvas using your mouse, finger, or stylus. If you mess up, click Clear and redraw.

Pick the page (last, first, or every page) and one of six corner positions. Click Sign. The signature embeds into the PDF in your browser and downloads.

The signature pad supports touch and stylus input. On a phone or tablet, landscape orientation gives you more room to draw, which usually produces a cleaner signature than the cramped portrait version.

If you have an Apple Pencil or a Samsung S Pen, use it - the result looks like an actual handwritten signature instead of a finger smudge.

Both the PDF and your signature drawing stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account to create. There is no record of you signing this document on our servers because there is no upload to make a record of.

For encrypted PDFs, decrypt with Unlock PDF first.
