ABOUT THIS TOOL

Place a visible signature on a PDF

Many 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.

PRACTICAL TIPS

Before you start

  • For legally significant contracts, check whether the receiving party requires a cryptographic e-signature service — a visual overlay may not be accepted.
  • Zoom the final PDF to 100% and confirm the signature does not cover form fields, dates, or text.
  • Keep the unsigned original; you may need to sign a fresh copy for a different party.
FAQ / SIGN-PDF

Frequently asked questions

Is a typed overlay a legal electronic signature?

A typed visible overlay is a convenience feature. Legal validity depends on your jurisdiction and use case.

Can I draw or upload a signature image?

The current tool adds a typed signature overlay; drawn or image signatures are not promised.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The signature overlay is applied locally in your browser.
