Sign a PDF Online — Free, No Printing, No Account
Someone sends you a PDF. You need to sign it and send it back. You don't have a printer. Or you do have a printer, but you'd rather not print, sign, scan, and email a document like it's 2009. The request is simple. The process shouldn't be complicated.
This tool lets you add your signature to any PDF in under two minutes — draw it with your mouse or finger, type your name in a handwriting style, or upload an image of your signature. Place it on the page, resize it, and download the signed document. Free, no account required, and your file is deleted from the server the moment you're done.
Upload any PDF and add your signature without installing software or creating an account.
Three signature options — draw with mouse or finger, type your name, or upload a signature image.
Place and resize your signature anywhere on any page, including multiple pages for initials.
Download a clean signed PDF with no watermarks, no extra pages, nothing added.
Files are deleted after download — your document and signature are not stored or retained.
When to Use This Tool
If you've received a job offer, NDA, or contract and need to return it signed today — skip the printer and sign it here in under two minutes.

01 — Upload the PDF
Click to browse or drag the PDF into the tool. Works with any standard PDF — contracts, offer letters, agreements, forms, lease documents.
02 — Create your signature
Choose how you want to sign. Draw freehand using your mouse or touchscreen finger. Type your name and pick a handwriting-style font. Or upload a PNG of your actual signature if you have one saved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about sign pdf.
Is a digitally signed PDF legally valid?
For most everyday documents — employment contracts, freelance agreements, NDAs, rental agreements, purchase orders — electronic signatures are legally recognised in India under the IT Act, in the EU under eIDAS, and in the US under the ESIGN Act. The key requirement is that both parties agree to conduct business electronically, which is typically implied when someone emails you a PDF to sign. A small category of documents (wills, notarised deeds, some court filings) still require a certified or handwritten signature. If you're unsure, confirm with whoever sent you the document.
How do I sign a PDF without printing it?
Upload your PDF using the tool above, create your signature by drawing, typing, or uploading an image, then drag it to the correct location on the page. Resize if needed, then download. The entire process takes under two minutes and works on any device without installing anything.
Can I sign a PDF on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The tool works in Chrome, Safari, and other modern mobile browsers. On a touchscreen, you can draw your signature with your finger — which tends to look more natural than a mouse signature. Just open the tool in your mobile browser, upload the PDF from your files app or email, sign, and download.
Is my document stored after I sign it?
No. Your uploaded PDF and the signed version are deleted from our servers as soon as you download the result. We have no access to the contents of your document and retain nothing after the session ends. For sensitive agreements, close the tab once you've downloaded and saved the signed file.
Can I sign multiple pages or add initials throughout the document?
Yes. After placing your signature on one page, you can continue adding it to other pages — useful for contracts that require a signature or initials on each page. Create your signature once, then drag copies of it to wherever the document requires them.
