How to sign a PDF online
Printing, signing and rescanning a document is a waste of time. You can sign a PDF in about thirty seconds in your browser, and because nothing is uploaded, your signed contract stays private.
Step by step
- Open the PDFDrop the document you need to sign into the editor.
- Pick the Signature toolChoose Signature from the toolbar.
- Draw or uploadDraw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger, or upload a photo of it. Drawn signatures are trimmed automatically so there is no empty box around them.
- Place it and downloadDrag it where it belongs, resize with the corner handles, then download the signed PDF.
Your file stays on your device. PDFree runs entirely in your
browser - the PDF is never uploaded to a server, so private documents stay private.
Common questions
Is my signature stored anywhere?
No. It exists only in your browser and is embedded into the PDF you download.
Can I sign on a phone?
Yes. Drawing with a finger works well on touchscreens.
Can I reuse the same signature?
Copy a placed signature with Cmd/Ctrl+C and paste it with Cmd/Ctrl+V onto any page.
