How it works

How to use the Sign PDF tool

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF

    Choose the document that needs your signature.

  2. 2

    Create your signature

    Draw it with a mouse or finger, type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo of your signature.

  3. 3

    Place and download

    Drag the signature into position, add a date if needed, and download the signed PDF.

Electronic vs. digital signatures

This tool adds a visual electronic signature — an image of your signature placed on the page. That’s accepted for most everyday paperwork such as rental agreements, school forms, offer letters and invoices. It is different from a certificate-based digital signature (like Aadhaar eSign or DocuSign certificates), which cryptographically proves identity and is required for some legal and government filings.

Private by design

Your signature and document are processed only in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and your signature isn’t saved anywhere after you close the page.

Limitations

We’d rather be upfront about what this tool can’t do yet:

  • Creates a visual signature, not a cryptographic digital certificate.
  • Typed signatures and text support Latin characters.
  • Signing a PDF that already has a certified digital signature will invalidate that certificate, as with any edit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device, so your files are never sent to FreeToolsDaily or anyone else.

Is an electronic signature legally valid?

In many countries (including under India’s IT Act, the US ESIGN Act and the EU eIDAS regulation) simple electronic signatures are valid for many agreements, but some documents require a qualified or certificate-based signature. Check what your recipient requires.

Can I sign on every page?

Yes. Select the signature and click “Copy to all pages”.

Can I add my initials?

Yes — create a second signature with your initials, or type them with Add text.
