eSign PDF

Draw a handwritten signature on a canvas and embed it directly into any PDF document.

Signing contracts, agreements, and forms without printing or scanning.

How to use it

  1. Upload your PDF

    Add the document you need to sign.

  2. Draw your signature

    Sign on the canvas with your mouse or touchscreen; click Clear to redo until it looks right.

  3. Position and download

    Choose the page and corner for the signature, then download the signed PDF.

Why use this tool?

The print-sign-scan ritual is one of the most pointless chores in modern office life: you take a digital file, turn it into paper, sign it, and turn it back into a (worse-quality) digital file — assuming you even have a printer and scanner to hand. For everyday agreements, drawing your signature straight onto the PDF achieves the same thing in under a minute. This tool lets you sign a PDF on screen: draw your signature with a mouse or finger, choose the page and corner to place it, and download the signed document. It is built with pdf-lib and runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF and your signature — both sensitive — never leave your device. For most routine documents a drawn signature is perfectly adequate; for high-stakes contracts that require a certified, audit-trailed e-signature, a dedicated service like DocuSign or Adobe Sign is the right tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is a drawn digital signature legally binding?

For most everyday documents, yes. For high-stakes agreements that require certified, audit-trailed signatures, use a service like DocuSign or Adobe Sign.

Does my file get uploaded to a server?

No. Signing happens entirely in your browser with pdf-lib, so your PDF and signature never leave your device.

Can I place the signature where I want?

Choose the page and a corner position; the signature is sized relative to the page for a clean fit.

Can I sign more than one page?

Currently a signature is placed on one selected page per download; re-run it to sign another page.

Can I type my signature instead of drawing it?

This tool captures a hand-drawn signature, which looks more authentic than typed text.

Will the rest of the document change?

No. Only your signature is added; the original content is untouched.

Does it work on touchscreens?

Yes — draw with your finger or a stylus on a phone or tablet.

Is it free?

Yes — sign as many documents as you need for free, with no account and no watermark on the PDF.
