About This Tool
Need to return a signed document without printing and scanning it? Add a signature directly to the PDF, place it where it belongs and download a finished copy.
For routine approvals and forms, a visual electronic signature can remove a lot of friction. For regulated or high-assurance signing requirements, use an appropriate digital-signature workflow instead and verify what the recipient actually requires.

Upload the document that needs your signature.
Create your signature
Draw, type or upload a signature using the available signing method.
Place and review
Move the signature to the correct page and position, then review the document carefully.
Download the signed copy
Save the completed PDF and keep the original when you may need an unsigned copy later.
Use Cases
Forms and applications
Sign routine forms without printing, scanning and emailing them back.
Internal approvals
Add a visible signature to documents moving through everyday team workflows.
Client paperwork
Return signed PDFs quickly when a visual electronic signature is acceptable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a visual PDF signature the same as a digital signature?+
No. A visual signature is an electronic mark placed on a document. A cryptographic digital signature provides stronger identity and integrity guarantees.
Can I move the signature after placing it?+
Yes. Position and review the signature before exporting the final document.
Should I keep the original PDF?+
Yes. Keeping the unsigned original is sensible when the document may need another signer or future revision.
