How to sign a PDF
- Choose your PDF above.
- Make your signature: Draw it with a mouse, finger or pen, Type your name in a handwriting style, or Upload a photo of your signature on paper.
- Choose where it goes (bottom right, bottom left, top, or click on the page yourself) and press Put it on the page. Drag it to move it; the orange corner resizes it. Use the arrows to move between pages.
- Add the date or other text if you need them, or press Sign every page to put your signature in the same place on all pages.
- Press Download signed PDF.
Tips for a signature that looks right
- On a phone, turn it sideways and sign with your finger, slowly: it looks much more like your pen signature.
- Uploading a photo? Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen, photograph it in daylight without shadows, and keep "Remove the white paper" ticked.
- Blue ink makes it obvious which copy is the signed one.
Questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser opens the PDF and adds the signature on your own device. The file and your signature never reach our servers.
Can I sign with a pen or my finger?
Yes. Choose Draw and sign with a mouse, a finger on a phone or a stylus on a tablet. You can also type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo of your signature on paper; the white paper is removed so only the ink shows.
Can I sign every page at once?
Yes. Place your signature once where it should go, then press Every page: it is copied to the same place on every page. You can add the date and other text too.
Is this a legally valid digital signature?
It adds your signature to the PDF as a picture, which is accepted for many everyday documents, such as forms, quotes and letters. Documents that must be signed with a certificate-based digital signature (a DSC) or Aadhaar eSign need those services instead. When in doubt, ask whoever will receive the document.
