About Sign PDF

Renders each PDF page with pdf.js, lets you place a signature image at any pixel position, then stamps the signature into the original PDF with pdf-lib — preserving the source bytes everywhere else. Three ways to make a signature: draw with mouse/finger, type your name (rendered in a handwriting font), or upload a transparent PNG. The whole pipeline runs locally; the file is never uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload the PDF, type a stylised signature, draw one with your mouse or finger, or upload a transparent PNG of your scanned signature. Drag it onto the signature field, add initials in the margins, then download a signed PDF that opens cleanly in every reader.

usage

In most jurisdictions yes — the US ESIGN Act, EU eIDAS, UK Electronic Communications Act and India IT Act all recognise simple electronic signatures for routine contracts (employment offers, NDAs, freelance agreements, invoices). High-value transactions may require qualified e-signatures.

official

Yes. Add signature fields for each party, save the partially-signed PDF, send it to the next signer and have them add their signature in their assigned slot. The audit trail (who signed when) is embedded in the PDF metadata.

features

Drop a signature, initials and date stamp from the toolbar onto any page. The date stamp uses today's date by default but can be overridden. Flatten the PDF on download so recipients cannot modify the signature placement.

features

Signing happens locally in your browser, so the document and your signature image never reach a server. That makes the tool safe for employment contracts, real-estate paperwork, medical consent forms and legal agreements.

privacy

Yes. Toggle "Flatten and lock on download" and signatures, initials and the date stamp are baked into the page. Combined with the optional password-protect step, the document becomes tamper-evident.
