Sign documents without printing or scanning
PDFEzy's free Sign PDF tool lets you draw your signature and drop it straight onto a document — no printing, signing by hand and scanning back in. Draw on the signature pad with your mouse, trackpad or finger, position it where it belongs, then download the signed PDF. It's a fast way to handle everyday agreements, consent forms and letters that just need your mark.
To be clear, this creates a simple electronic signature — a drawn image of your signature applied to the page. That's perfectly suitable for most routine documents, but it is not a certificate-based digital signature, which some formal or legal contexts may require. Because the signing happens entirely in your browser, your signature and your file stay on your device the whole time, with nothing uploaded.
Why sign PDFs in your browser?
- Private by design: your signature and document are processed locally and never uploaded.
- Works on touchscreens: sign with your finger on a phone or tablet, or with a mouse on a desktop.
- No printing needed: skip the print-sign-scan cycle and finish in seconds.
Need to add a date or your printed name too? Use Add Text to PDF, or mark up the page further with Edit PDF.
