Sign a PDF by hand

Draw your signature with the mouse or a finger, pick the page, and take back the signed document. Neither the contract nor the signature leaves your computer.

Free · no account · nothing uploaded

Print, sign, scan, send back: the classic loop costs ten minutes, a printer and a degraded copy. Signing the file directly avoids all three.

How it works

Drop your file on the page, or click to pick it from your folders.

Start the job. It runs inside your browser: nothing is sent to a server.

Download the result. No account, no watermark, no queue.

When this really helps

Return a contract

The document goes back signed without touching a printer.

Approve a quote

An agreement is placed in seconds.

Sign an official form

The file you received goes back signed, at the same quality.

What the conversion keeps, and what it loses

Working inside a browser comes with limits a hosted service does not have. Here they are in plain words, so you know what to expect before you start.

What is kept

  • All existing content, identically
  • Selectable text
  • Page quality

What is not carried over

  • Nothing: the signature is simply added on top

Worth knowing about the format

This is a handwritten signature placed visually, like initials on paper. It is not a qualified electronic signature: that requires a certificate issued by a trusted provider and a dedicated infrastructure.

Not the right tool?

Why it's free

Online converters receive your file on their servers, process it, then promise to delete it. Every document costs them computing time: that is why they charge, and why they cap file sizes.

Here, the work happens on your own computer. The page contains no server code: your document cannot be received, because it is never sent. So there is nothing to bill, nothing to cap, and nothing to delete afterwards. Cut your connection once the page has loaded — everything keeps working.

Frequently asked questions

Does this signature have legal value?

It is the digital equivalent of handwritten initials: widely accepted in everyday commercial exchanges, on the same footing as a scanned contract. A qualified electronic signature under eIDAS is a different thing and requires a certified provider.

Is my signature stored anywhere?

No. It is drawn in the tab, placed on the document, then gone when you close the page. Nothing is transmitted or kept.

Can I sign somewhere other than the last page?

Yes: give the page number you want, and set the position with the three lists provided.
