Why sign PDFs online
Rent agreements, offer letters, consent forms and school forms often need a signature, but printing, signing, scanning and emailing back takes time and equipment. Signing the PDF directly in your browser takes a few minutes and works on a phone or a computer.
How it works
First create your signature: Draw it with a mouse, finger or stylus, Type your name to get a handwriting-style signature, or Upload a picture of your signature (a transparent PNG works best). Then click on the page preview where the signature should go. Adjust the size as a percentage of the page width and download the signed PDF. If several pages need a signature, sign the first page, then open the signed file and repeat for the next page.
What kind of signature this is
This tool adds a picture of your signature to the page — an electronic signature image. It is not a certificate-based digital signature (such as a DSC or Aadhaar e-Sign), which some government, tax and company filings legally require. For everyday agreements and forms, an image signature is commonly accepted, but check with the receiver when in doubt.
Common problems and how to fix them
The signature has a white box behind it: upload a PNG with a transparent background, or draw it instead. It looks too big or small: change the size slider and place it again. The signature is in the wrong spot: click a new place on the preview before downloading.
Good habits
Read the whole document before signing, sign only documents you agree to, and keep a copy of the signed PDF for your records.
