Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about signing PDF files online for free.

How do I sign a PDF online for free?

Upload your PDF, draw or upload your signature in the panel, click Place Signature, then click on the page where you want it. Drag it to perfect position, then click Download Signed PDF.

Is an electronically signed PDF legally valid?

Electronic signatures created by drawing or inserting an image are generally accepted for many everyday documents. For legally binding contracts that require certified digital signatures (like those under eIDAS or ESIGN), you may need a certified e-signature provider. Always check local requirements for high-stakes documents.

Can I upload an image of my signature?

Yes. Click the Upload Image tab in the signature panel, then click the upload area to choose a PNG or JPG from your device. For the cleanest result, use a PNG with a transparent background so the white paper doesn't show.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript and pdf-lib. Your PDF and signature never leave your device, making it safe for confidential, legal, medical, and personal documents.

Can I sign multiple pages?

Yes. Navigate between pages using the arrow buttons in the toolbar, and place a signature on each page as needed. All signatures are collected and embedded when you download the final PDF.

How do I remove a placed signature?

Click the × button on the signature overlay on the page, or use the delete button next to the signature in the Placed Signatures list on the left panel. The original PDF is never modified until you click Download.
