Upload the PDF, and a PNG of your signature if you have one.
This adds a visible signature to the page. It is not a cryptographic digital signature and does not certify the document — for legally certified signing you need a qualified e-signature provider.

About this tool
The print-sign-scan cycle wastes time and produces a worse document than the original. Placing a signature directly on the PDF keeps the file clean, and for the overwhelming majority of everyday agreements — delivery notes, consent forms, internal approvals, rental paperwork — a clear visible signature is what the other side is asking for.
Two options are available. Upload a PNG of your handwritten signature (sign a white sheet, photograph it, remove the background) for the most personal result, or type your name and get it drawn above a ruled signature line. Either can be dated automatically. Because everything happens on your device, a signed contract never touches a server.
What it's good for
- Signing a contract or agreement sent by email.
- Approving an internal document before returning it.
- Signing a consent or authorisation form.
- Adding a dated signature to the last page of a report.

Questions people ask
- Is this legally binding?
- A visible signature is accepted for many everyday agreements, but it is not a certified digital signature. For regulated documents use a qualified provider.
- How do I make a signature image?
- Sign a white sheet, photograph it in good light, and save it as a PNG with the background removed.
- Can I sign more than one page?
- Yes — enter a range or list of pages.
