Create an electronic signature free
No sign-up, no trial, no counting how many documents you signed this month.
Electronic signature services are built around accounts, seats and monthly document limits, which is a lot of machinery for the common case: you need to sign something and send it back. Making the signature here and applying it yourself covers that case entirely. There is no account, no limit, and no company holding a copy of your signature and the documents you signed.
How to create an electronic signature
- 1
Create your signature
Type it in a handwriting style or draw it. Save it on this device and it is there next time.
- 2
Put it on the document
Open the PDF in Sign PDF, place the saved signature where it belongs, and add the date if the document asks for one.
- 3
Send it back
Download the signed PDF and reply with it. Flatten it first if you want the signature fixed in place.
Why the cheap version is often the right one
Most documents that need signing are routine: a form, a letter, a consent. Paying a monthly fee, and routing them through a third party, is more process than the job deserves.
Locking the signature in
Flattening makes the signature part of the page so it cannot be moved or deleted by the next person who opens it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legally binding?+
An electronic signature is accepted for many agreements in many countries when it shows clear intent to sign. Some documents need more, such as a witnessed or notarised signature. Check the rules for your document and your country.
How is this different from a signing service?+
A service adds an audit trail: who opened it, when, from where. That is worth paying for on a high value contract. For an everyday form, a signed PDF you send back is what people actually want.
Can I reuse the signature?+
Yes. Save it on this device and it appears in Sign PDF whenever you need it, without being re-uploaded anywhere.
Does anyone else get a copy?+
No. There is no account and no server. The signature and the documents stay with you.
