Add a drawn signature to a PDF
Draw your signature and place its visible image on a PDF page. The file is processed in your browser, making this a simple way to add a personal mark. It does not provide certificate-based digital signing, identity verification, an audit trail or requests to other signers.
Adds a visible signature by drawing or typing a name. This is not a certificate-based digital signature or a signature-request workflow.
When this tool helps
- Add your handwritten-style mark to a non-certified acknowledgement copy.
- Prepare a visual signature when the recipient accepts an image-based mark.
Questions and practical limits
Is this a cryptographic digital signature?
No. The result contains a signature image without a signing certificate or cryptographic validation. It cannot prove signer identity or provide a tamper-evident signing record.
Can I invite someone else to sign?
No. Signer invitations, multi-person routing and audit workflows are not implemented. Check your recipient's requirements before relying on a visual signature for any formal process.
