When you would use it
Signing a rental or employment contract that arrived by email, without printing it, signing it and scanning it back in.
Returning a signed form to a government portal or a company from a phone, in the few minutes you have.
Adding your initials to every page of an agreement, which many contracts ask for alongside the signature.
Putting your signature and a date on your own invoice or delivery note before passing it on.
What to expect
This places a picture of your signature on the page. It is not a certificate-based digital signature: no software can cryptographically verify who signed, or prove the file has not changed since. Whether a signed PDF is accepted is a matter for the recipient and the rules they work under.
Sign only with your own signature, or for someone who has authorised you to sign for them. Putting another person’s signature on a document is forgery.
An Arabic name is drawn with its letters joined and running the right way, in the Arabic handwriting faces as well as the Latin ones — which is where tools that treat Arabic as an afterthought fall apart.
A signature you save stays in this browser, on this device. It is never uploaded, and the button in the tool deletes the saved ones whenever you want.
A photographed signature comes out best on plain paper. The paper behind it is removed for you, even when the photo came out grey or shadowed in indoor light; lines on lined or squared paper stay, so sign on a blank sheet.
A scanned document can be signed like any other: the signature sits on top of the page, the way ink sits on paper.
If the PDF already carries a digital signature, adding your visual signature here makes that digital signature invalid in the new copy; the tool warns you before saving, and your original keeps its signature. See Visual signature vs digital signature.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to sign a PDF here, with no sign-up or subscription?
Yes. There is no account, no subscription, no limit on how many files you sign, and no watermark on the result. Your file never leaves your device.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The pages are shown and signed inside your browser, on your device. Your PDF and your signature are never sent to us or anyone else.
Is a signature made here legally binding?
This tool draws a picture of your signature onto the page, which is what most everyday paperwork asks for. It is not a certificate-based digital signature: it does not prove who signed or that nobody changed the file afterwards. Whether a signature is binding depends on the law where you are and on what the other side accepts, so check before using it for anything important.
Can I sign PDF on iPhone or an Android phone?
Yes. Draw with your finger or a stylus; the drawing pad is made for touch. You can also type your name or upload a photo of your signature instead.
Does it work in Arabic?
Yes. A typed Arabic name is shaped properly, with the letters joined, and the whole tool is available in Arabic. There are Arabic handwriting styles as well as English ones.
Is my signature saved?
Only if you tick “Remember this signature on this device”. It is then kept in this browser only, on this device, and never uploaded. “Delete saved signatures” removes them at once, and clearing your browser data removes them too. Without the tick, the signature is forgotten when you close or reload the page.
Will the signed file look exactly like the preview?
Yes. The picture you see on the page is the one placed in the file, in the same spot, at the same size and angle, even on pages that were already turned.
Why can’t I open my password-protected PDF?
Protected files are encrypted, so their pages can’t be read or changed. Remove the password first, then open the file again.
