Sign PDF: How the Drawn Signature Works
Sign PDF currently supports one signing method — a hand-drawn signature placed automatically on the last page. Here's what that means in practice.

Sign PDF lets you draw a signature with your mouse or touchscreen and adds it directly to your PDF, entirely in your browser.
Step-by-step
- Upload the PDF you want to sign.
- Draw your signature using your mouse or touchscreen.
- Download the signed PDF.
What to know before relying on it
The signature is placed automatically in the bottom-right corner of the last page only — there's currently no way to drag it to a different spot, resize it, or sign additional pages. Typed or uploaded signature images aren't supported yet; drawing is the only option. If your document needs a signature somewhere other than the bottom-right of the final page, or on more than one page, this tool isn't a fit yet.
Also worth knowing: a hand-drawn visual signature is not the same as a certified e-signature with legal validity guarantees. For contracts that require formal legal signing, use a dedicated eSignature service instead.
