How to sign a PDF online for free
You can sign a PDF entirely in your browser — no printing, scanning or app install. Create your signature once, drop it onto the document, and download the signed file. Here's how.
Three steps to a signed PDF
- Create your signature. Draw it with a mouse or finger, type it in a signature font, or upload a photo and clean it up automatically.
- Place it on the document. Upload the PDF and position your signature where it belongs — add the date or initials if needed.
- Download the signed copy. Export the finished PDF, ready to send. Keep a copy for your records.
Why sign digitally
- Faster — minutes instead of print-sign-scan.
- Cleaner — no blurry scans or phone photos of paper.
- Reusable — save your signature once and sign anything.
- Trackable — a good tool records who signed and when, and issues a certificate of completion.
Getting someone else to sign
Need a client or partner to sign? Send them the document for signature — they open a link, sign in their browser, and you get the completed copy plus an audit record. No account needed for the signer.
