Sign PDF
Return a signed lease, consent form, or NDAs without printing and scanning. Draw your signature with mouse or stylus, type a cursive name, or paste a scanned signature PNG — then place it on the PDF page. Processing is local; this is visual signing, not PKI digital certificate signing.

When visual PDF signing works
• When counterparties accept image signatures on PDFs.
• When speed matters more than qualified electronic signature regimes.
• When you already have a scanned signature PNG to reuse.
When you need qualified e-sign
• When law requires DocuSign/Adobe Sign with audit trail and identity verification.
• When EU eIDAS qualified signature is mandatory for the contract type.
• When tamper-evident cryptographic signature is required.
Visual vs digital signatures
Visual signatures mimic ink. Digital certificate signatures use PKI to detect tampering — required for many government filings.
Mobile signing tips
Use finger or stylus on phone for natural strokes. Pinch-zoom to align with fine print lines.
Security hygiene
Sign only documents you read. Phishing emails attach fake contracts — verify sender before signing.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legally binding?
Depends on jurisdiction and document type. Many everyday agreements accept electronic signatures; real estate and wills often need notarization.
Cryptographic digital signature?
This tool overlays a visual signature — not PKCS#7 certificate signing embedded in PDF.
Multiple signers?
Each signer downloads, signs, and sends onward — or use dedicated e-sign platforms for routing.
Signature image format?
Transparent PNG signatures look best on form lines.
Files uploaded?
No — local canvas/pdf-lib workflow.
Flatten signature?
Downloaded PDF typically merges signature into page content — not easily movable afterward.
