Add a PDF

01 How it works

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Create a signature by drawing, typing, or uploading a photo.
  3. Place and adjust it on the page, then download the signed copy.

02 Good to know

Preview the signature on your document before saving. The signature is a visible mark. It is not certificate-backed and does not authenticate the signer.

03Place your signature on the page

Open a PDF, choose a typed signature, draw one, or use an image, then click the page where it belongs. Review its position before saving the signed copy.

This is for adding a signature mark to your own document. It does not send a signing request to other people or create a certificate-based digital signature.

04Know what the signature proves

A picture or typed rendering of a signature is visible page content. By itself, it does not cryptographically verify who signed or whether the PDF changed afterward.

If a recipient needs identity checks, a signing record or a certificate-backed signature, use a service or workflow that explicitly provides those features and meets the document's requirements.

05 Questions

Can I draw or upload my signature?

Yes. You can type, draw or add an image of your signature, then place it on the page.

Is this a digital signature that verifies the document?

No. The result contains a visible signature mark. It is not certificate-backed and does not authenticate the signer.

Can I send this PDF to someone else to sign?

This tool places your signature on the file. It does not send signing requests or track other signers.
