How-to

How do I sign a PDF?

To sign a PDF, add your file and make your signature by drawing it, typing your name, or uploading an image. Then place it on the page and drag it exactly where you want it. You can resize it, add more signatures, and sign as many spots on as many pages as you need before downloading once. The tool draws a picture of your signature onto each spot. It all runs in your browser, so your file is never sent to a server and you do not need an account. This is a visual signature, not a certificate-based digital signature.

  1. 1

    Drag your PDF onto the tool or click to choose it. It loads in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Draw it with your mouse or finger, type your name, or upload an image of it.

  3. 3

    Put it on the page, then drag it exactly where you want it and resize it from the corner. Add as many as you need, on any pages.

  4. 4

    The tool draws every signature onto its page and saves a new PDF.

This is an electronic (visual) signature, which can be legally valid when signed with intent under the US ESIGN Act and UETA. It is not a certificate-based digital signature: it does not verify identity or make the file tamper-evident, and some documents may still require wet ink or a notary.

FAQ

Sign PDF Questions

Add your PDF, then draw your signature, type your name, or upload an image of your signature. Place it on the page, drag it exactly where you want it, add more spots or pages if you need them, and download the signed PDF. It is free, needs no signup, and nothing is uploaded, so your document stays on your device.

Yes, all three. Draw it with your mouse or a finger on a touchscreen, type your name and have it written in a signature style, or upload a PNG or JPG of your signature. A PNG with a see-through background sits on the page most cleanly.

It can be. Under US law, the ESIGN Act and UETA (adopted in nearly every state, with New York using its own ESRA), an electronic signature you add with intent can be legally valid. But this tool adds a visual signature, not a certificate-based digital signature, so it does not verify identity or lock the file. Some documents, like certain wills or court filings, still require wet ink or a notary, so check what your document needs.

An electronic signature is broad: any mark you add to show you agree, including a typed name or a drawn signature like this tool makes. A digital signature is a specific, cryptographic kind that attaches a certificate to prove who signed and to detect any later change. This tool makes an electronic (visual) signature, not a cryptographic digital signature. If you need a certified, tamper-evident signature, use a dedicated e-signature service.

It is not tamper-proof. The tool draws a picture of your signature onto the page; it does not lock the file or record who signed, so the document can still be edited afterward like any PDF. If you need a signature that proves the file was not changed, you need a certificate-based digital signature from a dedicated service, which this is not.

No. Your PDF never leaves your browser. The signature is drawn onto the page on your own device, so the file is not sent to Easy Takeoffs or anywhere else. That makes it safe for confidential agreements, transmittals, and drawings.

Yes. Use the Type option to write your initials or a date the same way, then place them wherever they go. Every placement keeps the mark it was made with, so you can place your signature, switch to initials, and place those too, on the same page or different ones, and download once with everything on the document.

Yes. Open the tool on your phone or tablet and draw your signature with a finger, or type it. It works the same as on a computer, and nothing is uploaded. Drawing with a finger or a stylus usually gives the most natural-looking signature.

No. This tool only adds a signature. To measure length, area, and count on a PDF to scale, use Easy Takeoffs, the construction takeoff software built to measure off plans. 14-day trial, no card.
