A closer look at Sign PDF

Sign PDF lets you draw a signature on a canvas, type one, or upload a PNG/JPEG signature image, then place it on the first page of your PDF. Each placement can be rotated or duplicated onto other pages.

It is the practical way to sign documents without printing, signing by hand and scanning: contracts, consent forms and acknowledgment documents produced or reviewed on your device.

This places a signature image onto the page — it is not a cryptographic, certificate-based digital signature. If your workflow requires certified signing, use a dedicated signing service. All signing happens in your browser and the result is downloaded locally.

What you can use it for

  • Signing a PDF on the first page without printing.
  • Adding a typed signature to a contract or form.
  • Uploading a saved signature image for consistent signing.
  • Rotating or duplicating a signature across pages.

What to keep in mind

  • Signatures are placed on the first page only.
  • Placement uses fixed defaults; size and rotation can be adjusted per signature.
  • This is a signature image, not a cryptographic certificate-based signature.
  • The signature is visual only — verify with recipients which signature type your document legally requires.

Troubleshooting

  • The signature looks too small or large

    Adjust the size control for the placement — each signature can be sized independently before download.

  • The signature is on the wrong page

    Signatures are placed on the first page by default. Duplicate the placement to other pages using the duplication control, and verify the result in the preview before downloading.
