How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open your PDF

    Drop in a contract or form (up to 50 MB). Pages render locally for placement.

  2. Step 2

    Create & place a signature

    Draw, type in a cursive font, or upload an image. Drag it onto pages and resize as needed.

  3. Step 3

    Download the signed file

    We embed your stamps into a new PDF with pdf-lib and save it on your device.

Sign PDF documents without an account or upload

Contracts, permission slips, and forms often need a quick signature — not a full e-sign platform with logins and cloud storage. This Sign PDF tool keeps the workflow local: open the file in your browser, create a signature once, place it wherever you need it, and download a new PDF with the stamps embedded.

You can draw with a mouse or finger, type your name in a cursive font, or upload an existing signature image. The same signature can be reused on multiple pages (for example, a full signature on page one and initials elsewhere). Adding today's date as a separate stamp mirrors the common pattern of signing and dating a printed page.

Placement previews are rendered with Mozilla's pdf.js; the final file is written with pdf-lib so the signature becomes part of the PDF itself. Because everything stays on your device, sensitive agreements are never sent to our servers — the same privacy model as the rest of PDFsMint.

For best results, use a clear signature on a transparent PNG when uploading, and place stamps on a blank margin so they stay readable when printed. If a PDF is encrypted, unlock it first — password-protected files cannot be modified in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I sign a PDF online for free?

Upload your PDF, create a signature by drawing, typing your name, or uploading an image, then place it on any page. Download the signed file when you are done — no account required.

Can I place signatures on multiple pages?

Yes. After you create a signature, click each page (or use Place signature here) to add as many copies as you need. You can also add today's date as a separate stamp next to a signature.

Is my signed PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Page previews, signature drawing, and embedding all run in your browser with pdf.js and pdf-lib. Your document never leaves your device.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Drawing uses a touch-friendly signature pad, and you can drag or resize placements with a finger. Large documents may be slower on smaller devices.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

Password-protected PDFs cannot be signed here. Remove the password with another tool first, then open the unlocked file in Sign PDF.
