Sign a PDF in your browser
The PDF Signature Tool lets you draw a signature with a mouse, trackpad, or finger, drop it onto any page of a PDF, and download the signed file — all without uploading anything to a server.
How it works
- Pick a PDF. Drag in a contract, NDA, form, or any other document you need to sign.
- Draw your signature in the scratchpad. Dark ink, smooth strokes, clear stop-start points — sign as naturally as you would on paper. Not happy with it? Hit Clear and try again.
- Pick the page using prev/next, then drag the signature rectangle to the exact spot where it should land. Use the width slider to size it to the signature line.
- Apply & save. The tool embeds the signature into the page at the right coordinates, rebuilds the PDF, and hands it back to you as a new download.
Why sign locally
Signatures are sensitive by nature. Uploading a signed PDF to a third-party server — even "just to sign it" — often means the file lives on that server, gets cached, logged, and sometimes indexed. This tool avoids all of that: every step runs in your browser using pdfjs-dist for rendering and pdf-lib for writing the embedded PNG back into the PDF.
What you can sign
- Contracts, NDAs, offer letters, and approvals
- Purchase orders, invoices, and expense approvals
- School and parental consent forms
- Rental agreements, waivers, and permission slips
- Anything a colleague just dropped in Slack with "sign and send back"
Tips for a clean signature
- Use a touchscreen or stylus if you have one — mouse signatures tend to look spiky.
- Leave some white space around the signature by starting your stroke a few pixels in from the edges of the pad.
- The exported signature has a transparent background, so it sits naturally over the signature line.
Limits
- This is a visual signature, not a cryptographic one. If you need an audit-trail e-signature (Adobe Sign / DocuSign style), use a dedicated service. For 90% of "sign and send back" requests, a visual signature is exactly what the other side expects.
- Very large PDFs (thousands of pages) render page-by-page; expect the first page to appear within a second or two on typical laptops.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your browser. Your PDF and your signature never touch a server.
