Sign PDF

Add your signature to any PDF document

pdfty's sign tool lets you add a signature to any PDF in under a minute. Draw your signature with a mouse or finger, type it in a script font, or upload a photo of your handwritten signature โ€” then drag it onto the page, resize, and download the signed document. You can also add the date and your printed name.

This is a simple electronic signature: the visual mark of your signature embedded into the document, which is what most everyday paperwork needs โ€” rental agreements, permission slips, offer letters, internal approvals. It is not a cryptographic digital signature with a certificate; for documents that legally require qualified digital signatures, use a dedicated e-signing service. The signature is drawn into the page content with PyMuPDF, so it stays put in every viewer.

Free for files up to 20 MB โ€” no watermark, no signup. Your document and signature are transmitted over HTTPS and permanently deleted within 1 hour; we never store your signature for reuse unless you ask us to.
