Sign Contracts and Fill Out Forms Without Printing

Rental agreements, consent forms, invoices or school permission slips – instead of printing, signing and scanning, sign them directly on your computer, tablet or phone. You can also fill in forms that have no fillable fields by typing text anywhere on the page and ticking boxes with a checkmark.

Good to know: this tool adds a visual signature – an image of your handwritten signature – just like signing a printout. It is accepted for many everyday documents, but it is not a certified digital signature with a certificate (such as a qualified electronic signature). If a document legally requires one, use a dedicated signing service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create my signature?

Click “Signature” and either draw it with your mouse, finger or stylus, type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo or scan of your signature. White paper backgrounds can be removed automatically.

Is this a legally binding digital signature?

It is a visual electronic signature: an image of your signature placed in the PDF. Many everyday agreements accept this, but it does not contain a certificate and is not a qualified or certified digital signature.

Can I sign on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The editor works with touch: draw your signature with your finger, tap the page to place it and drag or resize it with your fingers.

Is my document or signature uploaded?

No. The PDF is displayed and edited entirely in your browser, and your signature is never sent anywhere or stored on a server.
