Whether you need to sign contracts, agreements, invoices, or legal documents, our free online PDF signature tool provides a secure, private, and legally recognized way to add handwritten signatures to any PDF. No printing, no scanning, no uploading to unknown servers.
Unlike cloud-based e-signature services that require uploading sensitive documents to external servers, our tool processes everything locally in your browser. Create your signature by drawing, typing, or uploading an image — then place it anywhere on your PDF. Completely free with no watermarks.
How Digital Signatures Work
Digital signatures provide a way to authenticate electronic documents. Our tool creates a visual representation of your signature (handwritten, typed, or uploaded image) and embeds it as an image layer onto your PDF. While this is a visual signature rather than a cryptographic digital certificate, it is legally acceptable for most business and personal use cases, including contracts, agreements, and forms.
