The Fastest Way to Sign PDFs Online

You've received a PDF that needs your signature. Maybe it's a contract from a client, a form from your bank, or paperwork from your kid's school. You don't want to print it, sign it with a pen, scan it back in, and email it. That's 2003 technology.

Signing a PDF online should be simple: upload the file, add your signature, download the result. That's exactly what our free tool does—nothing more, nothing less. No account creation, no software installation, no monthly fees.

Whether you're on a laptop, tablet, or phone, you can sign PDFs directly in your browser. Draw your signature with your finger or mouse, type it using a handwriting-style font, or upload a picture of your real signature. Position it where you need it, and you're done.
