Read the guide Get help with this toolMany everyday approvals — permission slips, simple agreements, internal sign-offs — only need a visible signature on the document. Printing, signing, and re-scanning is slow; placing a signature directly on the PDF produces a ready-to-send copy in a minute.
This tool overlays a typed signature on the PDF page where you place it, entirely in your browser, and produces a signed copy to download. It is important to understand what this is: a visual mark on the document. It is not a cryptographic, certificate-based digital signature, and it does not prove identity the way a dedicated e-signature service does.
