A contract, a statement, a form to fill in — up to 500 pages. The document stays in your browser; we never upload it.
A signature without a printer or a scanner
The usual loop — print, sign, scan, send back — costs a quarter of an hour and a working printer, which is never around when you need it. This tool gives back exactly what the scanner would: the document with your signature in the right place, except the picture stays sharp, the text stays searchable and the file does not grow tenfold.
There are three ways to make a signature. Draw it with a mouse, a finger or a pen; type your name and have it set in a handwriting face; or photograph the signature you put on paper and let the tool turn the white paper around it transparent. All three lead to the same thing: a picture with a see-through background that you drag to where it belongs on the page and resize by its corner.
If the PDF is a form to fill in — with names, dates and checkboxes — the fields appear as blue outlines on the page and you type into them in the list on the right. Accented letters stay where they belong: when needed, a font that carries them is added to the file for the filled-in values.
How to use it
Drop in the PDF, turn to the page to sign and make the signature in the “Signature” box in one of the three ways. “Place on the page” puts it just below the middle of the sheet; drag it onto the line from there. One signature can be placed as many times as you like — on every page separately, if every sheet of the contract needs initialling.
The “Text, date” section is for when the paper has no field, only a line: the place and the date, a name under the typed signature. In the form-field list a typed value goes straight into its field; with “Finalise the fields” ticked the fill becomes part of the page and nobody can change it afterwards — switch that on only if you are the last person to fill in anything.
“Save PDF” builds the new file; the original is left untouched. Download the result, or ask for a shareable link in one click — the file behind that link only reaches a server if you decide it should.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official electronic signature?
No. The tool places a picture of your signature on the document — exactly what a printed, hand-signed and scanned sheet contains. There is no certificate, timestamp or cryptographic seal behind it, so it is not a qualified electronic signature (QES under eIDAS). Where that is required — some government and banking matters — this is not enough; for most agreements you have so far returned as a scan, it is worth precisely what the scan was.
Where does my signature go?
Nowhere. The drawing, the typed name and the uploaded picture all stay in your browser, and the finished PDF is assembled there too — our server never sees a byte of it. We do not save it for next time either: close the tab and the signature is gone, which for a signature is more reassuring than inconvenient.
Why would the signature come out sideways on a scanned page?
It will not. Many scanners store a portrait page as a landscape one with a “rotate me” flag beside it, which the reader then honours. The tool honours the same flag: it turns the signature so that in the reader — and in print — it sits exactly as you placed it on screen.
Can a password-protected PDF be signed?
Take the password off first. Nothing can be drawn safely into an encrypted document; if you know the password, the PDF password remover — also in your browser — gives you an open copy, and after signing you can lock it again with the password protection tool.
Can someone else still edit the fields after I fill them in?
By default, yes: the filled-in values remain fields, as on a form filled in with Acrobat. If you do not want that, tick “Finalise the fields” and the text becomes part of the page while the fields disappear — the same thing that happens when a signed form is “printed to PDF”.
