Sign a PDF Online Free — No Printing
Signing a PDF online skips the print-sign-scan routine entirely. Draw your signature with a mouse or trackpad, type it in a script font, or upload an image of your handwritten signature, then place it exactly where it belongs on the page.
In most jurisdictions, including under the U.S. ESIGN Act and the EU's eIDAS regulation, this kind of electronic signature is legally binding for the vast majority of everyday documents — contracts, offer letters, NDAs, and forms.
This is the step most people reach for last — after a contract, offer letter, or form has already been reviewed and just needs a signature to be complete. Because the signature is placed directly on the existing PDF, there's no need to print, no risk of a page getting out of order, and no separate signing app to install.

Frequently asked questions
Is a signature added this way legally valid?
For most everyday documents, yes — a clear, intentional electronic signature is legally binding in most jurisdictions. Documents requiring notarization or a qualified electronic signature are the exception; check with whoever is requesting the document if you're unsure.
Can I reuse the same signature next time?
Yes — most people draw it once and reuse it for future documents.
Can I add other fields besides a signature, like a date or initials?
Yes — add those as separate fields so each one stays independently editable.
