📝 PDF Document Signature Tool

About the PDF Signature tool

Returning a signed contract used to mean printing it, signing it, scanning the result back to PDF, and emailing the scan. This tool collapses all of that into a single browser tab. Draw your signature once, drop in the document you need to sign, click where it should land on the page, and download the signed copy. No printer, no scanner, no app to install, and no creating an account on a third-party signing service that wants to charge per envelope.

How signing works

• Draw your signature. Use a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen to sign once on the canvas. You can save it locally so the next document you sign uses the exact same signature.
• Drop in the document. Upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG. The tool renders every page so you can see exactly what you are signing.
• Place signatures and dates. Click anywhere on a page to drop your saved signature. Switch to Date Mode to stamp today's date the same way. Place as many as the document needs (initials on every page, signature plus date on the last page, and so on).
• Download. Hit "Download Signed Document" to get back the signed file with all your placements baked in and ready to send.

Built for the everyday "sign and return" moment

The Signature tool is meant for freelancers signing contracts and statements of work, small business owners returning vendor agreements, and anyone who has been asked to "sign and return" a PDF and does not want to lose twenty minutes to the printer. It is also useful for routine internal documents like time sheets, expense reports, permission slips, and approval forms that need a clear signature on the first page and nothing more.

Common uses

• Signing client contracts, NDAs, and statements of work without printing anything.
• Returning a counter-signed offer letter or employment agreement to a hiring manager.
• Adding initials to every page of a multi-page contract or lease.
• Signing and dating expense reports, time sheets, or approval forms before submitting.
• Adding a signature to a permission slip, school form, or rental application.

Your file stays on your computer

The entire signer runs in your browser. The document you load and the signature you draw are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never seen by anyone but you, even when the document is a contract, an NDA, or anything else sensitive. Close the tab and the file is gone from this tool entirely.

Common questions

How do I add my signature to a PDF?

Create your signature (draw it or type it in a script style), position it exactly where the document needs it, and download the signed PDF. Two minutes, no printer, no scanner.

Is this legally binding like DocuSign?

For most everyday agreements, electronic signatures are legally recognized in the US (E-SIGN Act) and many other jurisdictions, whether drawn here or through a service. Formal workflows sometimes require audited e-sign platforms; for the lease, the permission slip, and the freelance contract, a placed signature is standard practice.

Do I need an account to sign?

No account, no workflow emails, and no per-envelope pricing. Open, sign, download, done.

Is my signature stored anywhere?

No. The signing happens in your browser, so neither the document nor your signature is retained by anyone, which is more than e-sign platforms can say.

Can I fill in the form fields too?

Pair this with our PDF Form Filler: fill the fields there, sign here, and return a finished document without paper entering the process.
