How it works
Create your signature
Draw with your mouse or finger, type your name in a signature style, or upload a transparent PNG of your handwritten signature. It stays ready for every document.
Place it on the PDF
Pick a page from the strip, then click exactly where the signature belongs. Drag to nudge it into place and resize with the slider until it looks right.
Download the signed PDF
Your signature is embedded directly into the PDF file — no watermark, no account, no limits. The document never leaves your device.
Signing, step by step
1. Open your PDF — it renders page by page, entirely on your device. 2. Create your signature once: draw it with mouse or finger, type your name in a script style, or upload a transparent PNG of your real handwritten signature. 3. Place it: pick the page from the strip, click exactly where the signature belongs, drag to nudge it into place and resize with the slider. 4. Add the date or your initials the same way. 5. Download — the signature is flattened directly into the PDF.
Worked example
A 3-page freelance agreement needs two signatures and a date. Upload: 2 seconds. Signature drawn once: 20 seconds. Placed on pages 2 and 3 with the date added: about 40 seconds. Download: a signed 1.8 MB PDF with no watermark. Total time: under 90 seconds. On DocuSign’s free tier the same job would consume 1 of 3 monthly documents — here it is unlimited.
Limitations
These are electronic signature images embedded in the PDF — valid for most everyday agreements under laws like the US ESIGN Act, but not certificate-based digital signatures, so documents requiring notarization need a qualified service. There is no multi-signer workflow, no signer authentication and no audit trail. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before opening.
Signed documents get emailed, and emailed documents have size limits. If the file is too heavy to send, our guide explains how to compress a PDF first.
Signed paperwork usually has two more stops. It gets archived with the rest of the household record — the Home Inventory keeps that catalogue in one place — and it gets emailed, which is where the PDF compressor earns its keep, shrinking a scan under the attachment limit without uploading it anywhere.
