Goodbye to the print-and-scan cycle

The traditional way to sign a document you received digitally is exhausting: print it, sign with a pen, scan it, then send it back. This cycle wastes time and paper and requires a printer and scanner. Electronic signing shortens it all to a single step inside your browser.

How to sign your document

Open the Sign PDF tool and upload your file, then draw your signature with your mouse on a computer or your finger on a phone screen. After that, choose the page for the signature, its position, and size, and download the signed file within a minute. It's as simple as signing on paper, but paperless.

Your signature is sensitive data, so where it's processed matters: here it's drawn and embedded into the file exclusively inside your browser, so it's never stored on any server and nobody can reuse it. Note that legal recognition of simple electronic signatures varies by country and document type, so check your jurisdiction's requirements for official documents.
