Draw or type your signature, place it anywhere on the page, and download a signed PDF. Everything happens in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.

  • Draw it or type it

    Sketch your signature with a mouse, trackpad, or finger, or type your name and pick a handwriting-style font. Set the color, and for drawn signatures the stroke thickness, so it looks the way you want.

  • Place it exactly where it goes

    Drag each signature to the right spot on any page, then resize and rotate it to fit the line. What you see on screen is exactly how the downloaded PDF will look.

  • Sign once, or add several signers

    Save a signature and reuse it as many times as you need. Add a second or third signature when someone else has to sign the same document, drawn or typed, side by side.

  • Copy a signature across pages

    Have to initial every page? Apply one signature to a whole range of pages at once instead of placing it by hand on each one.

  • Your document stays on your device

    Signing runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF and your signature are never uploaded, stored, or scanned, which matters for contracts, IDs, and anything confidential.

  • Skip the print-sign-scan loop

    No printer or scanner needed, and no account to create. The signed PDF downloads clean, with no Visual PDF watermark and no cost.

How to sign a PDF

  1. Open your PDF

    Drag your PDF into the box or pick it from your device. It opens right in your browser (nothing is uploaded) and the signing tool loads on the spot.

  2. Create your signature

    Choose "Draw a signature" to sketch it with your mouse or finger, or "Type a signature" to set it from your name. Adjust the color and stroke thickness, or the font, until it looks right.

  3. Place it on the page

    Click "Apply" or drag the signature onto any page, then move, resize, or rotate it to sit exactly where it belongs. Add more signatures, or apply one across several pages, if you need to.

  4. Download the signed PDF

    Check the live preview, then download your signed PDF. The signatures are built into the file and ready to send, with no watermark added.

Sign PDF: frequently asked questions

When to sign a PDF online

Sign and return a contract

A client or landlord sends a PDF agreement and needs it back signed today. Draw your signature, drop it on the signature line, and email the signed file back: no printer, no scanner, no trip to the office.

Initial a multi-page document

Some agreements ask you to sign or initial every page. Create the signature once and apply it across the full page range, so a ten-page lease takes seconds instead of ten separate placements.

Get a second person to sign

Sharing a form with a partner, co-tenant, or co-founder who is next to you? Add a second signature, drawn or typed, and place both on the same PDF before you download it.
