How to sign a PDF

A form signed with a typed signature.

A click on the signature line puts the signature there, with handles to move and size it
  1. Make your signature

    Press Sign on the left. Choose Type and write your name — or Draw it with the mouse or a finger, or use a photo of your signature. Pick the ink: black, blue or red.

  2. Click where it goes

    Press Place the signature, then click the signature line. To give it a size at once, drag a box instead.

  3. Adjust and download

    Drag it to move, a corner to resize, the round handle to turn it. Click elsewhere when it is right, and download.

    The signed form

How the signature is put on the page

Your signature becomes a picture with a clear background, placed on the page like a stamp — the way a signed and scanned page would look, but crisp.

A signature on the line of a form
  1. Three ways to make it

    Typed in a handwriting style, drawn with the mouse, a pen or a finger, or taken from a photo of your signature on paper.

  2. Only the ink

    The background is clear: the signature sits on the line without a white box, over the text and the line under it.

  3. Kept for the next time

    The signature is kept in this browser only, so the next document is signed in two clicks. It is not sent anywhere to be stored.

  4. Moved, sized and turned

    Drag it, pull a corner, turn it by its handle (with Shift, in steps of 15°); change the ink colour at any time.

What you get

Your real signature

From a photo of it on paper — not a font that pretends.

No white box

Only the ink lands on the page.

Any place, any size

Move, resize and turn it after placing.

Black, blue or red

Change the ink colour of a placed signature.

On a phone too

Draw with a finger, or take the photo with the phone.

Sign many pages

Click each place; the signature stays ready.

Good to know

A picture, not a certificate

This is a signature as on paper. It is not a digital (certificate) signature that proves who signed and locks the file.

Change it any time

The Change… button above the page opens the signature window again; the new signature replaces the kept one.

Forms with a signature field

Put the signature over the field's line; the field itself does not need to be filled in.

Questions

Is a signature put on a PDF this way legally valid?

For many everyday documents a signature image is accepted, as a scanned signed page would be. Where a qualified or certificate signature is required, this is not one.

Where is my signature kept?

In this browser only, so you can use it again. Clear it from the signature window, or with your browser's site data.

Can I sign on a phone?

Yes: draw with a finger, or take a photo of your signature on paper.
