Common questions
How do I sign a PDF for free?
Open the PDF here, press + Signature, draw or add your signature, drag it into place and press Download signed PDF.
Is an electronic signature legal?
For most everyday documents, yes, in many countries including New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the EU and the US. Some documents, such as wills and some property, court or government forms, need a handwritten or witnessed signature, so check that whoever you're sending it to accepts electronic signatures. This isn't legal advice.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened and signed in your browser, on your own device. Your PDF is never uploaded or stored.
Will signing change the rest of my PDF?
No. Your signature and any text are added on top. The original pages, text and pictures are kept exactly as they were.
Can I sign a password-protected PDF?
No. Locked PDFs aren't opened or unlocked here. Ask whoever sent it for an unlocked copy.
Is it free?
Yes. Each signed PDF counts as one of your free downloads for the day. Credits or Pro give you more.
