Sign PDFs without printing.

Create your signature once (draw it, type it or upload a picture), then click to place it on any page, drag it into position and resize it. This adds a visual signature; it isn't a certificate-based digital signature.

02Questions

Common questions

Is this a legally binding signature?

It's an electronic signature: an image of your signature placed on the page, which many everyday agreements accept. It isn't a certificate-based digital signature that proves who signed and that nothing changed afterwards.

Is my signature stored?

Only as part of the signed document and the signature image used to place it. If you don't sign in, both are deleted after an hour; once you sign in to download, they stay in Documents until you delete them.

Can I sign more than once, or add initials on every page?

Yes. Once your signature is created, click each place it should appear, on as many pages as you need, then save once.
