# Sign a PDF online

> Draw your signature in the browser and place it anywhere on a PDF. Pick the ink color, drag to resize, and reuse it later. No upload, no sign-up, no watermark.

Draw your signature with a mouse, trackpad or touchscreen and drop it onto the signature line. The signature stays in your own browser; neither the file nor the signature is uploaded.

## How it works

1. **Open the PDF** Choose the file or drop the PDF onto the page.
2. **Click "Signature"** Draw your signature on the pad that opens. You can change the ink color or clear it and start over.
3. **Place it on the document** Click "Use" to put the signature on the current page as an image, drag it into position and drag a corner to resize.
4. **Export** Click "Export PDF". The signature is drawn onto the page and you get a new file with no watermark.

## Good to know

- Your signature is remembered in this browser (never uploaded) so you can reuse it next time; clearing site data means signing again.
- This places a handwritten image on the page. It is not a certificate-based digital signature and has no tamper-evident verification.
- Need several signatures in one file? Copy a placed signature and drag the copy to the next spot.

## FAQ

### Is my signature uploaded or stored on a server?

No. It is kept in your own browser's local storage, and editing and exporting happen on your device.

### Is a signature made this way legally binding?

That depends on the situation and the other party's requirements. This only places a handwritten signature on the PDF; it is not a certificate-based e-signature, so use a certified e-signature service where one is required.
